Pairing Bambalouni correctly — a note on Celtia beer

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Bambalouni. I ordered it with Celtia beer and the fiery and aromatic elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. olive oil in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Tunisia is the world's third largest olive oil producer and olive oil underpins the cuisine. The a market food stall is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Bambalouni with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
