Unlike most Middle Eastern and North African foods, the food of Tunisia is
noted for its spicy hotness. It is said that a husband will judge his wife
by the amount of hreesa she uses to prepare his food. Some even believe
that if a wife's cooking becomes bland, it means her love for her husband
is fading. On the other hand, when food is prepared for visitors, the
amount of hreesa is decreased to suit the more delicate palates of the
guests.
