- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- One of the main things that we wanted to do here in Tunisia is hunting for traditional and for modern foods and compare them. I do realize that Tunisia is more and more all about modern foods and snack bars but I also realize that there is hidden traditional food to be found and it is my goal to find all of them and try them all. What do you think about that? Good idea? Maybe shift my channel a bit more towards food? That way it will be a bit easier to travel and to get closer to the culture - because culture is food and that is that.

Lablabi and deserts seems to be delicious enjoy Tunisian breakfast 😋
very much
Tunisian breakfast is generally simple and sweet, such as jam or butter and bread and coffee. Lablabi is a breakfast during winter time only and is quite filling.
Alright, so most Tunisian have breakfast like most Europeans then
We also eat oily food in the morning like "ftayer" and ftayer with an egg, although this tradition is disappearing, we also eat at the "hleybi" , the dairy shop, some eat sweet sandwiches like chamia and jam and some like me with gouta and eggs.
@@yvesthesleevenot really, western breakfasts are called "petit dej" , they started appearing in Tunisia in the mid 2000s, as for the sweets stop you ate at, it's usually a snack place for different schools students and passerby, they offer a limited selection of sweets and salty things like pate(that's what we call it) or souffle or mini thick dough pizzas, we have our own 100% Tunisian pastry, you can find those shops in the Medina selling makroud, zlebia etc... for the ones we eat at home or make for holidays or celebrations those you can only find them at upper class like patisserie(bakery) Madame hchicha or many others like gourmandises, those sweets they sell used to be only made at home by teams of women and only on demand , since like 10 years these shops started popping up, their 65 dinars box is one of the nicest gifts you can take to your loved ones, they charge 15 dinars for the box but way worth it, many Tunisians living overseas buy them as gifts, 20 US dollars for that box is cheap, all small well made pastries with different types of nuts!!! I highly recommended getting pastries in Sfax , even in other regions like Tunis Sfax people are #1 at making it.
@@AdamH-jb6li Yes, absolutely. I love and miss Ftayer (I'm aborad) and Chamia (Halwa).
Zamit and karmous is the best breakfast in this season
There is more to explore in Sfax. You need to go to the old city, such as Bab El Jebli and Bab Diwen. Also, you have Souk El Hout. You should try the couscous, the jwejem, and you will find a lot of other things.
I am sure
What a yummilicious traditional Tunisian food and dessert. It looks very filling. Great sharing and thanks for this interesting video, Sir.
Cheers
You're always welcome brother 😊
many thanks
Lablabi It is commonly eaten in inexpensive restaurants. Raw or soft-cooked egg is nearly always added to the hot soup mix (thus cooking), along with olive oil, harissa, additional cumin, capers, tuna, Baklouti pepper and sometimes olives, garlic and vinegar or lemon or lime juice. Further garnishes may include cilantro (coriander), parsley and scallions. A traditional, but rarer, version, hergma, is made with cow's trotters 🎉❤
I could have done without the cow's trotters 😁
What a refreshing way to travel moonshine 😂
Well we try
You should try couscous(with lamb or chickean or fish)rouz jerbi ,mloukhia 👌👌
Oh sure thing
You have to understand that back in time Tunisians have to work in their farms and do all kinds of hard labor so they have to start the day eating a rich heavy breakfast to keep them going with a lot of calories to be needed during the morning until noon .
Tunisian gastronomy is similar to most Mediterranean cuisine , it’s so organic , healthy , and delicious .
I understand
Popular dishes in tunisia are lablebo
Lablebi/hargma kafteji s'han tounsi ojja fricaçe chakchouka
Nice sharing ✨✨✨
Thank you! 🤗
Hi, just for more more insight, lablabi is a street tunisian food it has two versions of it, the classic one is u know bread chickpeas and the broth, harissa, cumin, olive oil, Tuna and soft egg (never heard of lentils in it tho so maybe some people like to add new things to the recipe). And u mix mix all together and u can squeeze lemon on it. The second one is what u had is the same but instead of tuna there is Hargma which is a strong broth/sauce made from cooked sheep’s legs and stuff. Both are delicious, Hargma can be intense for some people (the tuna is more common) but they say it’s good for you. Overall you can add or remove any ingredient depends on your taste. Enjoy your stay !
I want to try the tuna one
The lablabi A delicious popular Tunisian dish. You can also try popular dishes such like coscous/mloukhia/fricassée (nice video)
Sounds great! I sure will, but fricasee we tried many times, also in the last video
Heyy, i have been follow your videos since you ve came to Tunisia, great video ! I want to tell you that there are different versions of Lablebi: the virgin one which is only chickpea soup with spices, another one with tuna, and the last one which is the strongest one is with cow feet and its the one you had which is hargma.
Im glad your wife didnt notice haha.
For me my favorite are virgin and tuna i can not eat hargma. You re so brave guys !
Oh wow, I wish I had with tuna.... not sure if hargma is cow feet but maybe....
@@yvesthesleeve oh yes it is haha i can assure you that that was not an eggplant, they cook it for a long time until it becomes so tender that you wont notice it, but it gives the lablebi that particular taste that you couldnt distinguish. Anyways, they say that it s so good for the health, so good for you ! And enjoy the rest of the trip, you have a lovely family ❤
@@wishes3444 haha yes
@@wishes3444 Confirming this, yes it is a Cow feet and sometimes tail, no veggies are added to the dish, (it's the chickpeas and the broth, old not fresh bread, spices, and Harrissa, egg {Optional} .The beef legs is stewed for hours and hours, it gives a different depth to the dish. shredding the bread is part of the experience, being part of the preparation is fun. Enjoy.
that looks interesting and good
Well it was the one with cowfeet which makes me a bit sick now...
If you want traditional home cook food you have to head to the medinas in any city and expect to pay way more, but the setup and the food are traditional and you'll find plates like "mloukhia", couscous with its variations, and many other plates that are not present at taditional fast food. Lablebi, kafteji, Tunisian plate and sandwich and most of those are pure fast food, those restaurants will have 1 or 2 or many plat du jour wich is more what you're looking for, sometimes they'll have a couscous or pasta or tajine(different from moroccan) or something else but very traditional need a better kitchen, higher upkeep of the place, therefore you'll pay more, many wouldn't pay 20 dinars for a couscous in one of those restaurants in the medinas, but they never think about the cost of upkeep, talented workers etc... you should absolutely venture inside the medina of Sfax, it's very well preserved and has traditional restaurants. 😊
Makes sense, I want to try many foods
Very interesting throughout your videos in Tunisia is how few people in it, either in towns or beaches
true that
I'm sorry to inform you that the Lablabi you ate is with "Hargma, " a broth made of beef's head and legs. The normal version has just chickpeas, bread, and Harissa. Then you can add eggs, Tuna or Hargma.
I see... Thanks
why r u sorry ?! fibelou masma3touch 9alek full of meat w eat matetktibch hakeka 3maltou l3ar bital7is w l5rouj min 9echretkom
Why sorry tho 😂 it’s just different but hargma is good for you that’s why the woman said to him it makes u strong
Hargma is bone broth dawg...
@@klof4276 3leh head w legs chnouma? L7am kif rassek? Ya little puppy :)
It is so good. Not the healthiest but not the worst. Very good. Also depends from where you re ordering. It does taste better in modern places or at home
surprised to hear it tastes better in modern places...
@@yvesthesleeve like in better areas or in new malls. As much as I like this turkic dish of origin I really hate it in poor areas it doesn't look appetizing a bit (gosh you dear visitors stop showing these areas we re not your enemies here we re of german greek and even japanese descent and we want your advertisement like the one you do in your videos just we beg you to only show the brighter urbanized areas and if you want to show the old areas like the ones reminding us of the brutal muslim rule then show the beautiful arabic houses, the nice side of the old medinas and just pass on those dirty violent areas) . Thank God there s always an upgraded version of this meal first meant for soldiers
Just for future reference, Hargma is cooked cow feet or lamb feet
Yes I noticed that now...
Tasty and yummy food tunisiyan country beautiful
Thank you so much 🙂
Sfax is famous for its sophisticated sweets, a must try (a little expensive in specialized brands).
duly noted
Hello my freind for the next time : try the following local foods :
Chminka : make it by lamb offal.
Hargma : is a lablabi with delicious legs of cows , this make you strong all the day
❤
duly noted
Tunisian eat lablabi often in winter its a winter food.
I can understand that
Hahah 🙊😂
For lablebi you should mix it really good until its all same color thats why he gave you 2 spoons 😊
I see makes sense
❤ Mr moonshine that meal is enough for 10 people !!! Love it 😂
Haha, 10 people is a lot
Youc could pour some lemon juice on the lablebi its quite nice
alright
This Lablabi is not vegetarian , it is not eggplants, it is made with beef trotters , there is also Lablabi made with Tuna or you can ask them to don’t put any kind of meet. Only egg
Yes, now I have learned that, thanks
Vous êtes les bienvenus en tunisie.
Merci beaucoup
Your vedeos is good you re very cheerful enjoy im in the south tunisia .im hate lablebi is food winter
alright mate, thanks
Lablabi is a winter food.
Yes, but people are still eating it in Sfax
hi there, since you are in sfax i suggest you try couscous with fish before you live the town otherwise you diffently should pay a visit to bizerte djerba korbus klibia and hawariya the south of tunisia is intresting as well but it's extremly hot now your kids may not cope with that heat there is also w town close to the algerian border named Tabarka i advice you check it out...peace.
Yeah, might go to Tabarka but south is very hot now although the kids and we all are used to much hotter.
@@yvesthesleevehey go to Tozeur for a day, take a guide with a 4×4 to the desert, they have a nice town close to it with original people still living in there, I believe you can take a train from sfax, it's always better to rent a car(comfort)... if you take train you'll pass by mini canyons etc, if you do reach tozeur please go on a tour guide with a 4×4, do not adventure in the desert as the military is everywhere down there plus oil and gaz fields etc... a big portion of the desert is considered a military zone.
The lablabi looked appetizing, save the hargma, not my thing at all. Next logical dish to try in the fast food category would be kaftagi. There is also sohlob for breakfast.
Lablabi started as a poor man meal (like pizza). The story goes that the poor turkish community in Tunis used to boil chickpeas to feed themselves and their children, cheap and filling. Then they started adding bread, cummin, harissa for better taste. Maybe one day, one will be able to order lablabi with Nutella!!
I looked up the etymology of tword lablabi. Per ChatGPT, the etymology is debated, but it is likely that the word comes from turkish leblebi meaning roasted chikpeas. The arabic word for chickpeas is "homs" or "hommus" depending on the pronociation, unless the word for chickpeas in berber language is lablabi, but I am really not sure about that. Kaftagi is also a turkish name.
Very interesting, but I hope there will never be a Lablabi with Nutella
Lablabi ce n'est pas berbère du tout, le couscous si. 3alouch est un mot berbère, barchni, fartas, Chla4em, 4achir,flo5...
@@mahrziyaziada1642 Ma dernière interrogation était presque sarcastique. Je ne croyais pas que ce plat était berbère du tout. Plusieurs noms sont utilisés pour désigner poichiche en berbère selon les dialèctes, semble-t-il: tinkit, akesmas...mais pas lablabi. On apprend tous les jours 😀 Je me demande si les dialèctes du berbère parlés au Maghreb sont mutuellement intelligibles?
Sfax is not a tourist city The island to visit Djerba must be the most beautiful beach, golden sand and large number of hostels Also Zarzis Island
Thanks, it's good we don't look for touristy but for authentic
@@yvesthesleevePerhaps you want the origin and contact with the people, you should visit the Sfax Mall the address( route du Tunis 10 , sakiet ezzit sfax)
@@yvesthesleevebravo bon réponse ❤
Leblebi is very delicisous but not recommended in summer season.Enjoy your meal.
Yes, you are right but what you recommend in the summer season?
Lablebi amazing amazing very good ❤ lemon for lablebi bon apeti
Yes thanks mate
Good like ❤
Thanks ✌
Guten abend .. aahhh chickpeas soup with bread baguette .. good snack ... matsu
Yes, although more of a stew than a soup I would say. Good though
In my opinion Lablabi bowl is only good in winter... to fight against the cold. If you come to bizerte you can try our lablabi sandwichs its another story my friend :P enjoy your time.
We might actually come there
It's not lentil, it's chickpeas in a thin garlic and cumin-flavoured broth, what looks like eggplant is "hergma" which is cow's trotters.. pretty heavy dish for a breakfast meal, kudos to you👍
Thanks for the info, I must be more careful...
Dont worry the doctors recommend hargma bcs it if full of gelatine , proteins, minerals which are good for skin and your bone joints ..no much fat though @@yvesthesleeve
Bro this food very helthy ❤❤❤
yes apparently
The hargma means the meat of cow's leg
Yes unfortunately
This not really traditional it's traditional street food . I advice you to try the real traditional food which you find usually at houses or some restaurants like: couscous with fish or lamb like mloukhia. Like loubia.like jlbena.like tajin .like tunisian pasta...... you'll enjoy it and welcome in tunisia ❤
Thanks for the tips! will try these things
Tunisians go more often for the simple lablabi version without hargma. They eat sometimes the hargma when they need an extra load of energy 😅😅
I would prefer the simple version
@@yvesthesleeve
Indeed, it's delicious!
You need absolutely to try "Couscous" one of our famous traditioinal food
Of course we will
Nothing can beat Indian flavour...
Well overall it is true
The meat thingie is called Hargma or Hergma, it is the meat from the head, the neck and the limbs of sheep, goats or cows.
Btw, according to the world food atlas, Tunisia has the best salad in the world and it's called Mechouia Salad, ranked number one, you should try it it's one of our traditional dishes. And speaking of tunisian cuisine, it's concidered one of the best in the world if not the best (it's just underrated just like the Roman colosseum we have in the city of El Jem, which is the second biggest Roman colosseum in the world, and it's in a way far better condition than the colosseum in Italy, but it's all underrated because Tunisia is sadly a third world country). It is a mediterranean cuisine, a mixture of Italian cuisine, and north African Arab (from Morocco to the Middle East) cuisine. Enjoy.
Yeah, I wish I did not know that....
@@yvesthesleeveit's actually healthier but the way they cook and prepare it is very unhygienic as they almost always make it in large quantities in large containers and restaurants buy it.
@@yvesthesleevebut you should be fine, they cook at a very high temperature, all bacteria is ded 💀😂😂
You should try my mother's food next. That's my tip! 😊
Well, I am all game
lablabi woow uuuum
Lablebi is a street food not a traditional food and we dont eat it in the summer mostly in the winter plus not in a brakfast cause it's spicy
Glad you found it interesting though 🤣🤣
It is not traditional? We love spicy for breakfast as the best way to start a day is with something spicy
@yvesthesleeve quite popular but definitely not a traditional dish
Traditional dish are couscous, mloukhia, jerbian rice pasta with gatat (type of fish) ...
@yvesthesleeve the most popular dish in sfax is couscous with fish it's a specialty there you won't find it anywhere else in tunisia
the origin of lablebi dates back to the time when tunisia had a famine and there was not enough dairy products and all kinds of food which gave birth to the dishes like lablebi, asida zgougou...
Go to tunis the capital and eat best lablebi ever❤
Will go to Tunis very soon
Welcome in Tunisia
Many thanks
I invited you to a lablebi in sousse :/ but i think u didn't see my comment :(
Sahha ❤️
I didn't too bad
@@yvesthesleeve never mind sir ❤️ hope u enjoy your trip one of the best vloggers i've watched keep going, Sweet Familly 🌹😍❤️😍🌹
Hallo,you can go to Tunis!! La Marsa, Tunis City in the zouks and around the zouks
Sure will
welcome to tunisia
Many thanks
Its a non.waste dish
sure thing
The bread for lablabi should be always old ...
Interesting... It makes sense.
you are becoming a connoisseur in food testing are you not thank you once again Ian UK manchester
Many thanks mate
cut small piece of bread , better taste , tunis (beb swika) 'weld el commisar' best hargma&lablebi
also right noted
❤
Just one thing :
Tunisians are not arabs. They are north african amazighs. Arabs colonized this refion in the 7th century. Don’t believe that they are as you thought.
I did not know this, I know there are lots of Berbers in many regions of north Africa, I thought everybody else would be of Arab decent but I guess that was wrong.
Hamy very nice i liket
Many many thanks
A late breakfast- would we call that a tough-to-bteak-fast
Yes that's quite some dish...
Sehr gud no worry be happy
its not eggplant its bone marrow btw
welcome to tunisia
Many thanks
Welcome to SFAX. ;)
Thanks mate
I miss it..😢
Oh I hope you will have it again soon
@@yvesthesleeve thank you
its not eggplant it's hargma means sauce with cow leg's
I found out just now
The price of lablabi is fair..
I think the cow´s feet made it a bit more pricey 😀
Qui et le pays qui te plaît dans ces plats ?
Not sure if I understand...
Du bist gud personne ,i liket me am tunesien und ich leben in de schweize but you better an me
Hey hallo, alles Gute in die Schweiz
Milfeulle it is 1000 paperes

You have lived in so many countries & still you do not know the names of different vegetables.
I am sure you don't know that your underwear is called underwear and keep calling it table.
You not run solo 😂
Well, running I do solo sometimes.. every morning actually.
welcome to sfax
Many thanks
This is not lablabi this is hargma
This is lablabi WITH hargma

Quran is always recited. Not sung or chanted. Learn from Muslims.
That is true
The man learned about your culture enough to make you ashamed of yourself 😠 you should be glad!?
❤🇹🇳🇹🇳Willkomm in Tunisia
Vielen Dank
Hergma means the legs of the sheep ..that was not eggplant but sheep feet .lablabi is a Turkish word means cheakpeas in the oven but in Tunisia that dish is called lablabi and it has a story tat meal was the main food of the janissaries in Tunisia for centuries and then the local people like it and Tunisized and add other flavour ..They cooked for the armies and pirates for centuries because it was easy to cook and easy to transport . ( we were called the barbary coast or the pirates coasts which first begun in Afriqiya or Africa ( old Tunisia name that was later given to the whole continent) and then spread to all north africain response to the Venisian pirates who killed thousands of muslims in north africa and atatcked our shores for 2 centuries and our piracy as a reaction impressed Othmans who invest in it and Turn it to an Othman mighty armada ))....back to lablabi ..... 50 years ago lablabi was workers and peasants morning breakfast and today is a popular street food and also for those who got out of bars at night .
Where did you get this fictional story? I've never heard of it before. The problem with some Tunisians is that they make everything Tunisian have foreign origins. This dish doesn't exist in Turkey and they don't know about it, so keep your strange information to yourself. By the way, hargma is a cow's leg. You don't even know this and I doubt you're even Tunisian.
That sounds interesting
Ask the cook what is in your food. Stop making guesses. Give correct information to people who are watching your videos.
What's the matter with you troll? You sit at home watching vlogs and tell people what to do? I bet you have not a single clue about anything, and I am also sure you have no woman
there is no eggplant its cow legs skin 🤮
Yeah, that I had to find out...
😂😂😂😂 bro this good food
Yes sure
Im Tunisian fuck Coca-Cola and fanta......welcome to tunisia 🇹🇳 ❤❤❤
Yeah fuck that poison
