Pairing Chorba correctly — a note on Celtia beer

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Chorba. I ordered it with Celtia beer and the boldly spiced and warming elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. dried rose petals in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Tunisian cuisine is the spiciest of the Maghreb cuisines thanks to the importance of harissa. The a market food stall is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Chorba with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
