It helps to love tuna fish and eggs

Tunisian cuisine is best defined as a fusion of Mediterranean and local Punic-Berber cuisines, which is one of the Things About Tunisia You Should Know. Tunisian cuisine, like that of many other Mediterranean nations, is strongly dependent on fish, meat, olive oil, tomatoes, and a variety of spices such as cumin, caraway, coriander, and paprika.

Few people are indifferent about tuna fish or eggs, the two jewels of Tunisia's culinary crown, and visiting Tunis will be a more delightful experience if you adore them as much as Tunisians do. The plat tunisien is the perfect way to try this combination: a shallow dish is filled with grilled vegetable salad, preserved lemons, harissa, sliced cucumbers, and topped with a poached egg and completed with tuna fish. Or try a brick a l'oeuf, which is the closest thing to a dumpling you'll find. A thin sheet of dough is packed with parsley, tuna fish, potatoes, and a raw egg before being deep fried and served with lemon.
