Moroccan Barbecue

This is a new flavour in Morocco. And this is also the first time that I see the Arabic name written first (and with bigger letters) than the French name.

If you have a look at the gallery, you can see that usually it is (was) the opposite. Also in the Omani boxes. I wonder how it is in the rest of Arabic countries...

From Mohd (Oman)

Made in Morocco! So exported to Oman, eaten there, and come back to Morocco in a form of mail art (but addressed to Spain). Interesting, isn't it?

88

As I have explained, when I arrived in Morocco I was surprised because the VQR is everywhere. I saw in some shops BIG boxes containing, wow, 88 triangles of cheese!

Soon I succumbed to temptation and bought one of these. Inside there are some smaller boxes (with 16 or 24 triangles each) like the one in the picture. It says: "not to be sold separately". But, of course, it is sold separately. In Morocco you can buy the triangles of cheese even one by one.

Sent back to Oman

Mohd not only sent me a buch of VQR (and other brands' cheese boxes). He also sent me some mail art for me sending back to Oman, from Morocco and/or Spain. Is this a mail art collaboration? (In fact, he did all the work; I only put the stamps)

Moroccan children

How different look these Moroccan children from Omani children. Even the colour! I wonder why.

Winking VQR

Oh, I had not realised before that VQR on the right is winking!

Jibnet Abou Al Walad

From Mohd (Oman)

This is what the brand says about itself (taken from here):

JIBNET ABOU AL WALAD®, OR REGAL PICON®
Established 45 years ago in the Middle East under the Regal Picon® name, the Middle East's most famous brand of spreadable cheese is today known as Jibnet Abou Al Walad®, literally "cheese for the child".
The change, inspired directly by the brand's logo showing a young boy, is more in tune with the brand's strong local roots. Jibnet Abou Al Walad® is the market leading brand in Yemen, Oman, Syria, and Jordan, and a benchmark for families looking for accessible, quality products. To better suit differing consumer eating habits, the cheese is available in tubs, jars and slices.

Green olives

One of the VQR tastes sold in Morocco is olives. But in Oman they sell green olives (?!).
