Jus d'orange

one of the best parts about tooling around rabat is the street food, especially the fresh-squeezed OJ over by the grand-taxi stand. This vendor has huge piles of Oranges around his stand, and a juice presser and some glasses of questionable cleanliness. However, this stuff is the fruit of the gods, ridiculously fresh, and sweeter than your average tropicana carton. And for only 2 dirhams, I can get 4 glasses for a buck...
All of the produce her has been amazing, one out of 3 street stores specializes in produce, and there's everything from avocados to bananas. Keep in mind, this is coming from a guy who's not incredibly fruit/vegetable-friendly.
Another thing i tried with the produce was a drink called a "panache" at a shop that sold "chesseburgers." I was used to the french drink, which is half lemonade and half beer, and this had neither... it was basically every fruit they had in stock + some yogurt, all blended together. Also worth trying again.
One thing about moroccan food that i've had to get used to is how sweet everything is, even the ketchup that they serve w/ frites is much sweeter than any heinz ketchup. I've kind of been getting used to it, i even had nutella for breakfast with some local pain rond that all the local street sellers have.
