Address

Inside Jemaa el-Fnaa, along the row of snail carts

One part of the square is given over to carts selling nothing but snails from huge steaming pots. Small snails (babbouche) are simmered in a herbal broth with clove, anise and thyme and ladled into bowls: pick the meat out with a toothpick, then drink the broth like tea. Locals treat it as a cold remedy.
