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...

Happy Farm Animals?

Sent to Lorraine (USA)

This was my contributin to the Challenge #18 of Mail a Smile. The theme was Farm Animals. And when I think of farm animals, I think immediately of the red cow! Could you imagine a happier animal in a farm?

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.

TAP'S Circus

This was the promotion during this summer: with every box of VQR cheese they offer you TAP's. As you can see, the word TAP'S is not translated into Arabic. I am not able to translate it into my language neither.

Anyway, I love the idea of associate VQR with circus. Here you can see my first three TAP'S, front and back. How beautiful and modern she looks here! I'll use them for mail art.

And there are twelve different, as you can see in the back of the box:
