Try the World ~ Marrakesh Box
And so we meet again. Here we are, traveling the world with Try the World. This is my second box from Try the World (my first was Venice) and I was really excited to receive it since the theme was Moroccan based with the city of Marrakesh. I waited patiently for my pretty blue box to arrive. When it finally did, I set out to make a video recording the opening.
There were so many great things in my box. So, let’s go through each one, shall we?
Mustapha’s Mediterranean Preserved Lemon Confit. This is basically pickled lemons. Only, I didn’t know that until I popped open the jar thinking these would taste good on some vanilla frozen yogurt. Nope. While they don’t taste pickled like you would think of pickles or something like pickled okra, there is a very different lemony taste. So, Mr. Yum and I decided that we’d try to make some Moroccan chicken and roast a whole chicken and cook it with some of these lemons to see how it turned out. I’ll update when we get it made.
Mediterranean Gourmet Ras-El-Hanout Blend. I used this spice on my boneless porkchops I made for my Weight Watchers weekly meal prep. My house smelled amazing as they cooked. Tasted good too. This is one spice I can’t wait to use more of.
Sultan. Fancy smancy sardines. Seriously. In oil. I love sardines but I have not tried these yet.
Villa Jerada Kefta Rub. This smells amazing. I roasted up a giant slab of ribs over the weekend that had this rub on them. Mr. Yum and kiddo had no problems picking the bones clean. She said they were the “best ribs ever!”
Dip & Scoop Culinary Argan Oil. Argan oil can be used for so many things (protect your skin) and in so many dishes. It’s also perfect for bread dipping. I need some fancy bread. Then I’ll show you 😉 For those new to Argan Oil, this oil has a bit of nutty taste. It is one of the healthiest oils next to olive. What I love is that is has three times the Vitamin E than olive oil.
Mediterranean Gourmet Harissa Sauce. My husband was excited for this. These are zesty peppers ground with spices like coriander and cumin. We love those spices. I want to try this with some couscous or quinoa.
All-in-all it was a really nice box. Not sure yet how to incorporate the goodies into a recipe. But I promise, I’ll share with you when I do!

That sounds like an easy way to try something new – and I do love trying new foods. What a fun idea.
My Hubs and I both love to travel. I must have missed your Venice box, but that is where I want to go.
I see you got Sultan Sardines, if my hubs seen that.. he would be jealous.
I really love this particular gift box subscription. I love food, and I LOVE to try new flavors. This is great!
I am a big time foodie, too, so I love trying new things.
That would be my Hubs Stacie. He loves food and trying new things. I tell him he lives to eat and I eat to live.
I used to get a monthly subscription for a food service and it really helped me try new things. This service looks like it would a great intro to different flavors and meal ideas.
I really love the sound of these boxes. It’s great that you can sample to world in one box and get to try different flavours and foods too 🙂
I love making culinary dishes from all different countries, so this box sounds like it would be awesome for us. Thanks for the coupon code, I am definitely going to consider ordering!
My husband and I both love to try new foods, spices and rubs. This really looks like a great subscription box. I’m going to look into it.
Oh how fun to travel the world from home with good eats. Everything looks and sounds like something we would love. It would probably be the closest I’d ever get to Venice :).
Oh how fun! I didn’t know they had packages like this. Those sardines could be used in quite a few recipes.
When my kitchen remodeling is finished this sounds like a fun thing to do. I like experiencing new types of food and making dishes from other country.
Oooo I love subscription boxes, they are so fun to get! I haven’t heard of this one until now and very interested in getting one. =)
There are so many subscription boxes these days, this one is interesting. Its great to be able to try foods & spices from different countries in the comfort of you on home.

I still haven’t opened them. I enjoy good sardines so I am sure these will be. I was thinking about creating a recipe with them.
I have been hearing a lot about this company lately. I’ll definitely have to check them out!
That argan oil really interests me! I’ve heard so many good things about that product!

Oh what a great subscription box! I have never heard of this one, but I’d love to try all the things from all over.
I keep saying I’m going to order one of these boxes and forget. It is just SO much fun!
How funny that I didn’t know Argan Oil was for eating too. I thought it was just a health/beauty product. I really shouldn’t admit these things out loud. 😉
What a great way to try new foods from around the world. Never heard of this subscription before!
I’m such a picky eater that I don’t think I would enjoy this monthly subscription. It’s a shame too because I bet all the food tastes so good. I wish my taste in food could be more worldly lol.
Sounds like some great products.Really neat subscription.
Oh, this is really neat. Sounds like a great gift that keeps on giving… I have a friend who always gives her husband monthly subscriptions like this. Cool idea!
There are so many good stuff in the Marrakesh box. The sardines sound yummy and the Dip & Scoop Argan Oil is interesting – didn’t know that it can be used for breads too.
What a fun way to try new foods! I think this would be a great gift for my sil.
It is fun to try new food. And I love free shipping.
It’s like food tripping all the time plus an added much fun to it.
I bet the lemon confit will be fun to use! What great items! Thanks!
Someone needs to buy this for me. Great idea for a gift or for yourself. Being able to have a little taste of the world when actually going there is out of the budget is really cool.
This one is pretty affordable because it is only every other month.
Merrakesh Try the World boxes sounds amazing and I will have to truly check this out. I think the different foods around the world that come to your home are an awesome treat indeed. Thanks for sharing.
I love the concept of this box. I think this particular country has an assortment of goodies that my Dad would appreciate more than I. He would especially enjoy the sardines.
The argan oil sounds amazing! I may have to look into this box for gifts this year 🙂
YUM, lemon confit?! Yes please! I am just starting to find out about these subscription boxes but I think they are AWESOME! Thanks!
I think this box would be lots of fun. A great way to try different things.
This sounds like my kind of box. I love to try new products that I don’t normally find.
I have tried Mediterranean food before but never tried preparing one here at home. I would love to try the spice for our pork chops too. Must be so delish!
ahhh now this is my kinda box!!! Being a foodie I would love to have yummy new things to try out in my kitchen. Need to look more into this 🙂
Well I know someone who would love those sardines! I’d like to try everything but those. 😉
I am not a big fan of subscription boxes but this box does look interesting.
This is soo neat! What a great way to try new things. I have never used argan oil for cooking, or eating at all. Only for my hair and skin. Learn something new every day!
I’ve been hearing great things about this box. I want to try it. I bet the food is delicious.
There’s so many subcription boxes out there, but this one beats them all. I would love to get one!!

Whoa! I’ve heard a lot of different product subscription boxes, but the Marrakesh box is definitely the first I’ve seen. Unique and I’m very curious to try the products! Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Cool idea. We are always up for trying different foods and this kind of makes the decisions for you, which I struggle with!
I’m all things lemon and would be interested to try that! I will be waiting for you post about how the lemon turned out in your dish
I still haven’t quite decided what to do with it. I am thinking about putting it inside of a chicken and roasting it.
As someone who loves international food and travel, this box sounds like something that would be right up my alley. Thanks for the discount code too!
I saw your last video too. I think it is very interesting! Enjoy!
