There ar...I think you'd call that dish a bisteeya. There are about a million spellings for it: B'Stilla, Pastilla, Bastilla, whatever. It's traditionally made with Squab. <BR/><BR/>I say go for a chicken and olive Tagine with preserved lemons. Oh, and a Bisteeya, but with squab or chicken! mmmmm!!!<BR/><BR/>In Sac, Casablanca restaurant is real good. <BR/><BR/>ECAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-1125494097631749582005-08-31T06:14:00.000-07:002005-08-31T06:14:00.000-07:00There's a whole lot of revisionist thinking about ...There's a whole lot of revisionist thinking about the cachet that slapping an "e" on the end of name grill can give you. I'd suggest the letter "v" myself, but apparently it tests with less than stellar results.<BR/>But here's a larger, more expansively wothless and dithering point -- at all Moroccan resturants, I'd go heavy on the eggplant and take careful but eager stock of the lamb-filled pastry-type main course -- is there even a name for this dish from anywhere bewteen Fez and Fresno? As always, if they don't attempt to drown you in heady tea, suspicious-ness should be unleashed rampant over the course of the meal toward your servers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-1125440470287082192005-08-30T15:21:00.000-07:002005-08-30T15:21:00.000-07:00as much as i wouldn't want to be the person on the...as much as i wouldn't want to be the person on the other end of that bridges review, i really like reading a smack-down critique like that. it sounded like he really wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, so most of the complaints must be totally valid. especially the cabbage with mayonnaise salad dressing on it. . .shudder.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07471246758849988846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694733.post-1125440110418962382005-08-30T15:15:00.000-07:002005-08-30T15:15:00.000-07:00the 'e' is also probably why I couln't find it via...the 'e' is also probably why I couln't find it via searching (also I didn't try very hard).

He felt bad about that but the review was comic genius & he didn't even have to exagerrate. God it ruled having a restaurant reviewer friend!<BR/><BR/>millerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
