News Morocco Pavilion redevelopment

[nickys]

From the web...Moroccan cuisine shares several similarities with other Mediterranean cuisines.

I agree there’s a similarity in terms of the ingredients and general diet.

I just don’t find the actual dishes much alike. Moroccan dishes that do contain meat for example often use it on the bone whereas I’ve not a Greek dish that does that. And Moroccan dishes seem to use more spices.

Now I’m hungry!

My wife was going to make homemade lasagna this weekend but she has since lamented. Poor Poor Pitiful Me. Hmm Maybe there's a song in that...Who Knows

Can't believe I was there Tuesday a week ago. We ate at Spice Road Table because a friend of mine loves Mediterranean food. We loved it!

The company who operated it went bust, so Disney brought it back in house.

Although I have to disagree with your assertion that Greek food and Moroccan food is similar. Moroccans use tangines for traditional cooking and couscous is a staple accompaniment.

You’re absolutely right. As someone who hails from the other end of the Mediterranean and grew up eating food very similar to Greek, I can confirm that Moroccan cuisine is very different, which is hardly surprising given the distance involved (there are as many miles between Greece and Morocco as there are between the UK and Russia).

Was thinking of the Terri Clark song.

We know that before the pandemic, the Morocco pavilion was leased to outside tenants and Disney kicked them out for not paying the rent when they were forced to close because of the pandemic.

I we loved their counter service. We thought it was the best counter service in EPCOT and we loved the sit down there too.

Anyway, I wonder if the construction is a sign there are new tenants or got the original tenants back?

Eh… that seems to be a very one-sided way of telling that haha.

Ideally, Disney would see the value in having the countries represented well. Compare the shops of China and Japan to Canada for example.

well, some other country star had a pretty big hit covering 'Lawyers, Guns, and Money' so I imagine it makes sense to tap into his works

The company who operated went bust? I thought it was the country backing out, but that seems not to make sense since the Morocco Pavilion is the most authentic built by them which they would be proud of to continue.

If it's all to do with one of the run companies can't Morocco have another run it?

The company who were running it when Covid caused the parks to shut went bust.
