What day is it? It’s Friday! 🇲🇦✨ Do you know what that means in Morocco? It means Couscous Time! 🍛🥳 In Morocco, Friday lunch is sacred, and you’ll find couscous on almost every household’s table. Last year, I had the pleasure of speaking about Moroccan gastronomy, and one thing we emphasized with enthusiasm was the importance of this tradition. But couscous is more than just a meal—it’s a ritual of connection, hospitality, and gratitude. 🙌 Traditionally served in a large dish and shared among family and guests, it brings people together after Friday prayers, reinforcing the values of community and togetherness. 💡 For those doing business in Morocco, this is a cultural insight worth knowing! If you have a lunch meeting on a Friday, don’t be surprised if couscous is on the menu. And if you’re invited to share a meal, take it as a sign of warmth and hospitality—Moroccan culture thrives on relationships. 🌍 Have you had Couscous 🇲🇦 before? Does your country have a special dish tied to a certain day or tradition? Share it in the comments—I’d love to hear! Unfortunately, I lost that tradition given the circumstances of living in a highly individualistic society. I still cherish it though. #CouscousFridays #MoroccanCulture 🇲🇦 #FoodAndBusiness 🍽️ #Traditions #GlobalConnections 🌎

Travel Tips for Attending GT Food and Drink in Lagos Attending GT Food and Drink can be a fantastic experience for tourists. Here are essential tips to help you prepare and make the most of your visit: Accommodation Book a hotel ahead, and close to the venue in Lagos to minimize travel time and avoid the city's notorious traffic.

Plan Ahead Confirm event dates and check the schedule for live cooking sessions, activities, and workshops you’d like to attend. Arrive early to secure parking or a convenient spot at the venue.

Stay hydrated by carrying a refillable water bottle or purchasing bottled water at the venue. Cultural Etiquette Respectfully engage with locals. Ask about the history and preparation of dishes to learn more about Nigerian culture. Be patient and polite when interacting with vendors or waiting in queues, as the event can get busy. Safety and Health Keep your belongings secure to avoid theft in crowded areas. Bring hand sanitizers or wipes to maintain hygiene while sampling food. Transportation Use ride-booking services like Bolt, Uber, Lagos tide or taxis for convenience and safety, especially if unfamiliar with Lagos roads.

Halal compliance in restaurants is crucial for several reasons in the F&B industry. Firstly, it caters to a significant demographic of Muslim consumers who adhere to dietary laws, thereby expanding the customer base and enhancing inclusivity. This adherence builds trust and loyalty among Muslim customers, encouraging repeat business and positive word-of-mouth. Moreover, halal certification is increasingly sought after in the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) sector, particularly for government business segments. Many governmental and corporate entities require halal-certified venues to accommodate diverse attendees with specific dietary requirements. By meeting these standards, restaurants can attract more MICE business, enhancing their reputation as reliable and accommodating venues for official functions and events. In a nutshell, maintaining halal compliance not only supports cultural diversity and inclusivity within the F&B industry but also positions restaurants favorably to capture lucrative MICE opportunities, especially from government and corporate sectors seeking reliable, certified venues for their events. #FoodSafetyMatters #FoodConcept #FoodHandling #HealthAndHygiene
