“Moroccan green tea with a meloui bread (a kind of Moroccan bread). Meloui is flaky and delicious. The ingredients are simple but the secret is kneading. It can reveal how loving and passionate a mom is; the more you knead it with love, the more it turns out flaky. You can eat it with honey, cream cheese, Nutella or even by itself. Accompanied with a nice cup of Moroccan green tea, it is an exceptional start of the day!”
— Aya, 15, Morocco
“Beef nihari is slow-cooked beef stew that is popular in the Indian subcontinent, particularly in Bangladesh (where I’m from!) and Pakistan. As it is with most dishes, the best part in my opinion are the parts that are the worst for you — in this case, the fatty bits that fall off the bone. My mom typically prepares it on special occasions like when we finish exams, or when my brother comes home.”
— Raisa, 21, Canada
“Coffee and some msamen, traditional Algerian sweets. I like to drink black coffee and some msamen with sugar or honey on top. Others have it with some tea, especially in the south of my country.”
— Sarah, 21, Algeria
“Huevos rancheros and coffee! Huevos rancheros is basically two eggs over two tortillas (some people like to add two slices of ham over the tortillas) and covered with red salsa. Some people eat them with beans and cheese on the side. I like eating them because they are a very typical Mexican dish and because they tend to be spicy!”
— María Teresa, 19, Mexico
