    As an Algerian, I see this bullshit way too much between us and Moroccans, Motherfuckers really believe that on the Oujda Tlemcen border people stop eating Harrira and Baghrir on the other side, sometimes it's funny everytime it's fucking annoying.

      How's Maroc as your neighbor... I assume pretty annoying, even without conflict (Maroc's a comprador nation, right?)....

      At least you guys share shakshouka, right?

        Comprador? no, The Moroccan regime doesn't even try to hide on which side it is, It refuses to cut relations with the zionist entity hell it still wants to buy the Merkava tanks, yet it didn't think twice about bombing Yemen. not even going to mention colonizing the Western Sahara or the Sand War.

              Anyways, technically, if we're following the list of this food, Shakshouka is technically an Americano-Maghrebi dish, because you know, one of its ingredients, tomatoes come from South America, along with the some of its spices, cayenne and paprika, in Central and South Americas...

              Tomatoes and peppers are New World ingredients that only became common ingredients in later centuries after the Columbian exchange.

              So um technically, Shakshouka is an Americano dish, sweaty

              Just like how Pizza is Americano-Italian-American invention...
