There is always a wonderful selection of cheeses and breads In Europe at breakfast time and you will find a very pared down version here in Morocco. Cream cheeses, not hard cheeses, are on the table along with a typical flat round bread often dusted with semolina or cornmeal. The bread will be freshly made [ no preservatives either ] and baked on site or at the local communal bakery. I know this is off topic slightly but I recently had an online discussion with someone about the lack of Philly products available here for making cheesecake then I remembered this photo I had taken at a hotel buffet recently. I am sure if I can source something similar I could make a cheesecake of sorts. La Vache Qui Rit is an immensely popular cream cheese here - the trademark round boxes filled with little triangles are piled high in the food souks and the supermarket. I could buy up big and spend a long time peeling the foil off many individual cheeses but I think by the time I was done I would have run out of impetus to bake the actual dessert. I prefer to open up the little packs for stray hungry kitties I see in my travels. They truly love them.
