Tajine


Williams Sonoma is selling this fancy schmancy tajine... Reminded me of one of my friends, whose mom proudly talked about this tajine that she got all the way from la Françe - it is one of the best ones she said, a cast iron one... I really had to fight myself from reminding her that a tajine is in fact a Tunisian or Moroccan dish/vessel and not a French one and that it should be made of clay, to impart the proper taste!! When I actually saw her tajine, it was in fact much worse than I had imagined... Kind of like this one... I bet this Williams Sonoma tajine also sells for $100-200 at least.If you buy a real tajine from a real Moroccan shop for $25, how can you show off to poor postdocs though, right?
