Tunisia ((Arabic: تونس Tūnisiyya); officially: الجمهورية التونسية al-Jumhūriyya at-Tūnisiyya; [The Tunisian Republic] It is the northernmost African country and the smallest of the nations situated along the Atlas mountain range. Tunisia is the land of the famous Phoenician city of Carthage, which after its conquest and utter destruction became the 'African Province' of Rome and Rome's bread basket. The majority (98%) of modern Tunisians are Arab, and are speakers of Tunisian Arabic. However, there is also a small (1% at most) population of Berbers located in the Jabal Dahar mountains in the South East and on the island of Jerba. The Berbers primarily speak Berber languages, often called Shelha. The other long-established community in the country is Jewish (today mainly in the capital Tunis and on Jerba), much reduced in number since independence from France. Along with Morocco and Algeria, Tunisia forms part of the Maghreb region of North Africa and the basis for Tunisian cookery is Maghrebi cuisine. However, Tunisian cuisine has been significantly influenced by Mediterranean cookery. Through the use of spices and seasonings, Tunisians give their dishes a certain distinctive flavor that may be traced to the neighboring cultures. Tunisia is culinarily rich and fresh fish, lamb, couscous and olives form a significant part of the diet. Spices and peppers tend to play a very central role in overall cuisine. In this respect, Tunisian food is much like other North African cuisines; it is quite spicy and hot. Hot peppers play a key role in tying a meal together; a bland meal is considered by most Tunisians to be a bad one. Also, most dishes are heavily spiced with a variety of seasonings such as bay leaves, cumin, caraway, saffron, cumin, cinnamon, and mint. In the eyes of Tunisians, usage of seasonings in meals adds to its flavor and overall quality. |
