Snails and orange juice

Here’s a photo taken of Marrakesh’s main tourist square, which is empty during the day but is occupied by vendors at night. Most sell a fish meal, but you can also get other things like tajin, couscous, and other things. Two other things that I’ve heard are mainstays in this area are snail vendors, who sell this snail soup that I’d probably never try, and secondly, orange juice stands that sell you oj shots. These guys will call you out from 50 yards, tell you their price (3 Dhms), and then if you choose, you can keep your distance and try to haggle them down.
