IIL An Account of the Moorifli Way of Dref 
fing their Meat (with other Remarks) in Weft 
Barbary, from Cape Spartel to Cape de Geer. 
By Mr. Jt'z.reel Jones. 
TH E Mauritanian or Barharian Moor^ when he ri- 
fesin the Morning, wafties himfelf all over, and 
dreflcs, then goes to their Ji^w^j, or Church, fays his 
• Prayers, and remrns home, where his Wife, Concubine, 
or Slave, hath his Breakfaft provided for him, which is 
fometimes made of Barley or Wheat-Gruel for I have 
known both. It is made fomewhat thicker than ours, 
till it be ropy ; they put Origan, and other Herbs, pow- 
dered, into it, which for fuch ufes they keep dry'd ail 
the Year fon^ will put a little Pepper, and other 
Spice. I have often been treated with warm Bread, 
frefli Butter, and Honey, in a Morning, which is not 
feldom ufed amongft themfelves, an Hour or two after 
they have had <iruel ; as alfo Hafty-Pudding, with 
Butter, afid fometimes Butter and Honey, (as the Guefts 
are, and according to the Ability of the Entertainers.) 
Some again give Cufcufoo, with Milk, others with Flefli, 
a third with Roots. It is to be obferved, when any one 
hath a Gueft or Guefts in his Houfe, the Neighbours 
bring their Di(h to welcome him or them, on account 
of the Refpe<9: and Love they bear to their NeighboQr, 
as well as to (hew their Readinefs to entertain the Stran- 
ger. This Pradice is found conftantly ufed throughout ^ 
the whole Country amongft the Moors^ one towards 
another, reciprocally. And I have as often found the 
like Civility, as I had occafion to take up my Lodging 
at any Place, where I was acquainted with any of the 
Inhabitants.
