Solution
Tagine is a historically Berber dish from North Africa that is named after the special earthenware pot in which it is cooked. A similar dish, known as Tavvas, is found in the cuisine of Cyprus. The traditional Tagine pot is formed entirely of a heavy clay, which is sometimes painted or glazed.
The Tagine is used to bake staple bread. Each and every Algerian family has a Tagine, usually bought from rural villages where old women prepare them from clay and sell them. Tagines are also used and made in Morocco. They can be made and sold in the local economy.
