Let's Watch.. Emily in Tunis
In The Pursuit Of A Yummy, Cushy Journey
This week, our delightful pause “Joy of Life” was savored and shared by Emily, a relentless, curious traveler committed to “spend 3-6 months in each country”, getting a taste of flavors and cultures around the globe.

Once home, we might want a digestive, festive evening with a dose of “Boukha”, a national fig spirit cherished by the Tunisian Jews and their fellow citizens.
How about prolonging our delight with a sweet preparation? We can’t recommend enough the infamous Tunisian sorghum pudding called Droô (pronounced dro’). You have been warned though:
⚠️ You may crave a bowl of Dro’ after watching this video – Emily said

Bon Appétit, or .. Sahha!
