What is the French moussaka of algiers?

Question

people keep going on about it

Answer 1

it's very funny, there is a joke about the massacre. napoleon, he had a terrible cough when he already captured the enemy and he said, 'ma sacre toux' (means ' my damn cough') after the coughed so bad, but his army misunderstood him and heard it as 'massacrez tous' (means 'kill them all'), so they kill them all. since the same french pronounciation between both sentences lol

Answer 2

Moussaka is a vegetarian eggplant dish typically from Greece or other Mediterranean countries. It has eggplant dipped in batter and sauce, and is mixed with tomatoes, currants, and seeds to make a delicious casserole.

Answer 3

hi
moussaka is a greek dish. I never heard of algerian moussaka .

Algerian cuisine shows the historic influences of Berber, Arab, Turkish, and French tastes. (Not Greek) .

The traditional diet of desert nomads is based on couscous as in the rest of the Maghreb countries, and the meat of the sheep or goats they herd.

Answer 4

People keep going on about it? What people do you mix with? Noone I have ever know has mentioned this before?

At a guess I's say it was a layered dish of potatoes, aubergines and snails all baked in a tomato sauce with a bechamel topping and served with couscous.

Answer 5

moussaka? isn't that a food? i thought it was a greek-derived food, that they eat all around the mediterranean, including france, and which is kind of like a greek lasagna.

Answer 6

Maybe it was a mosque? A religious building?
