Tunisian-Algerian couscous adopted as a Marseille canteen staple after the great Maghrebi migration: steamed semolina with merguez, lamb shank, chickpeas and a harissa-spiked vegetable broth.
Couscous arrived in Marseille with Algerian, Tunisian and Moroccan migration from the 1920s onwards, and consolidated as the city's defining North African dish by the 1960s. Le Femina on Rue du Musee opened in 1921 and serves a Kabyle barley couscous from the predominantly Berber region of northern Algeria; Chez Yassine on Noailles runs the Tunisian red-sauce version with merguez.
