Tunisian "Original" Recipes

Asleema all,

I've been trying to develop my Tunisian cooking range, and the more I look into it, the more I find there are many differing suggestions on what is a true/typical Tunisian recipe vs what has been changed or modified. As such I was wondering if people in this community knew or could offer your take on some of the following dishes listed:

a) Shakshuka (my top 5 dishes of all time for me, but getting mixed-messages about what style is true to Tunisia vs Moroccan, Turkish, Egyptian, Afghan etc)
b) Lablabi
c) Brik a l'oeuf
d) Slata mechouia
e) Loubia
f) Shorba Frik

These are just examples. If the community here has other dishes and personal Tunisian homemade favorite recipes, I'd be keen to learn, or from whom I can find authentic recipes (...and grateful if it's in English).

I really enjoy what I've tried/been given so far. It has a lot of similarities to North-West/Western Indian cuisines that I'm familiar with, including sweet/dessert dishes, and some Italian overlaps too; and happy to exchange recipes as a thank you. For example in Western India a dish very similar to Shakshuka substitutes egg for Potatoes as the base ingredient (Batata Nu Shaak, or, 'potato curry'). Other very similar Tunis ~ Indian equivalents are:

Zalabiya ~ Jelebi;
Makroudh ~ Barfi (well, one of the many types);
Harissa Hlowa ~ Sooji Badam Halwa.
(They're not exactly the same, but if you compare recipes, you'll find they're almost the same ingredients with some variation on how to cook or style/dress).

Aycheck Barsha as always

بين انقلاب كوريا وتسحيح مسار تونس

خرج الشعب الكوري الجنوبي في مسيرات حاشدة بعد إعلان رئيس دولته إقامة الأحكام العرفية وتجميد البرلمان

الجيش انصاع لموقف البرلمان المدني ولم يتهمه بالخيانة والتواطؤ وما قالوش "أحنا أقسمنا باش نحميو الوطن" وهذا فرق كبير بين احترام القوى الصلبة للشعب ونواب الشعب وبين الي صار في تسحيح المسار.

كوريا عندها جي دي بي يتجاوز الترليون دولار وشعب تسحيح المسار الجي دي بي متاعو لا يتجاوز الخمسين مليار دولار

في العالم المتقدم يورثوا لصغارهم الحرية والكرامة وفي العالم الفقير يورثوا لصغارهم "احترام القادة واجب" و"تفضل السيد الرئيس" وهو نظيف أما ما خلوشو يخدم وهات من هاك اللاوي

صحة لكوريا الجنوبية وربي يصبرنا خاطر زعيمنا لن يسلمها إلا للشرفاء

auto entrepreneur questions

I just found out about the autoentrepreneur.tn ., which help freelancers work legally without any issues.

I've been working for years as SUARL company, but the taxes are pretty high. Auto-entrepreneurs only pay 200 TND per year, which is incredibly good.

I want to transition to this new system, but the only issue is the 75K TND cap. All the other requirements apply to me.

What are the solutions here?

The difference in payment is huge. I'm currently paying 20-30K TND since I don't have any liabilities. The government takes a cut from every penny I make.

Why there is 75k cap anyway, if you are freelancer, u just u are , it don't matter how much you make, they could have made a gradual increase system instead no ?

My Experience with AIESEC: Both as a Member and as Someone Who Went Abroad Through Them

Hi everyone,

As mentioned in the title, I’m here to share my full experience with AIESEC—both as a member and as someone who participated in their program abroad. My goal is to help you make an informed decision before engaging with them.

As a Professional

Last year, I decided to go abroad with AIESEC for a market research position in Istanbul starting in January 2024. Here’s a breakdown of my journey:

  • Initial Process: I had interviews with both AIESEC Tunisia and Istanbul. After being accepted, I paid an initiation fee of 230 TND for the opportunity.
  • Expenses: Beyond the initiation fee, here’s a breakdown of the other costs I incurred:
    • Flight ticket: 700 TND
    • Rent contract fees (notarized): 400 TND
    • Real estate agent fees: 400 TND
    • Monthly rent: 800 TND
    • Deposit fees: 800 TND
    • Residence permit fees: 800 TND
    • Insurance for residency process: Additional cost.
    • Visa processing expenses: I had to travel to the capital for this, which wasn’t necessary since Turkey allows 3 months of visa-free travel. You can handle visa status changes directly in Turkey—don’t let them misguide you and waste your money.

Total: A LOT more than expected due to hidden costs AIESEC Istanbul never disclosed.

  • The Job: Upon arriving, I discovered that the job description didn’t match reality. I felt stuck in a poorly managed role that was completely different from what was promised. Despite pushing through for 3 months, the company terminated my contract due to “lack of performance”—even though they themselves failed to honor the contract’s terms.
  • AIESEC’s Response: I contacted AIESEC Tunisia, Istanbul, and their international department. None of them offered a logical solution. Instead, they proposed a new position as a graphic designer in another state—requiring me to pay again for new contract fees, real estate agent fees, and other relocation costs. After everything I had already spent, I couldn’t afford to start over, so I treated the trip as a vacation and returned home.

As a Member

Being a member of AIESEC was another disappointment. Here’s what I experienced:

  • The team was poorly organized and overly focused on social events. They scheduled conferences every 3 months, each costing around 150 TND with zero added value.
  • They pressured members to buy their merchandise, attend events, and dedicate excessive time (up to 4 meetings a week) to discuss things that felt unproductive.
  • The entire experience was unprofessional, and the environment felt like a group of aimless kids rather than a serious organization.

My Takeaway

Whether as a professional or a member, AIESEC offered me zero added value. They were careless, disorganized, and didn’t provide support when issues arose.

This is just my personal experience. If you’ve had a different one, feel free to share. But if you’re considering joining AIESEC, I hope this post helps you make an informed choice.

Practicing taekwondo for over 30

I think the title is explicit

I'm 33 yo, and wanna really start practicing Taekwondo,

I know it requires a high level of flexibility and maybe at some point being able to do splits,

I'm in good shape and I also had some kung fu classes years ago, so I can get back to doing front split at least,

But my questions for professionals, do you think it's doable, what are your recommendations ?

Thank you in advance !

British Council IELTS Materials and Teaching Methods?

Hey,

Does anyone know what the British Council uses to teach IELTS? Like, what books do they usually rely on? And are there any good online resources they recommend? I’m trying to find good materials and thought their stuff might be worth checking out.

Would love to hear from anyone who’s taken their courses or knows about their approach.

PS: I’m asking this for my brother who’s preparing for IELTS right now. Thanks!

Underrated Tunisian rock bands, midnight pin

Hello Reddit family, I noticed in my latest post a lot of y'all do listen to alternative rock music, but I wonder what you guys think of our Tunisian groups like: midnight pin, mizaj, barzakh ext... I feel like they're proposing some really good music with a lot of talent especially when you hear "midnight_pin-inside" where Mina Achir sounds like PRIME Amy Lee from evanescence and the song only has 11k streams on Spotify, I wonder what y'all think of them and why are they not popular even if they're mega talented.

Customs Advice Pet Travel

Hello everyone! I am an American living in Tunis with my dog. I want to travel home and also around Europe with him but I am not getting consistent information from the customs official and my veterinarian about re-entry. Is it possible to get re-entry paperwork from my vet here? Or will I need to bring my dog to a vet at every destination in order to bring him back into Tunisia?

Thank you for the help!

Should I study engineering alongside with my masters ?

Hey, I'm 24 yo with a bachelor (licence) in computer science, I've been working as a software developer for almost a year and half (since graduation) and I'm doing my master at the same time, after the first year of masters I had the idea of getting an engineering degree in private school since I can get into 2nd year because I finished my master's first year, I did the inscription and now I feel like it's a waste of money and time and I wanted to know if it makes a difference in IT especially if I'm considering leaving the country when the opportunity comes
