TUC, one million people work on Christmas day. In 1647, the English parliament passed a law that made Christmas illegal. The ban was lifted when the Puritans lost power in 1660. About 35 million Christmas trees are produced each year to cope with holiday demand.

The Atlas Mountains Poppy Jones reflects on her time spent in the little village of Asni, located in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, which she visited last summer. The Atlas Mountains of Morocco are as yet little exploited by the tourist industry, and this greatly adds to the excitement of visiting and exploring them. Last summer I spent a week in the village of Asni, located in the Atlas Mountains, as part of my school’s community service programme. The village and its small community offered the chance to escape from everyday life, and it was fascinating to immerse ourselves in a culture so different to our own. After a ferry ride to Tangiers and then a ten hour coach journey through Morocco during the heat of the day, we finally reached our destination – only to find that our first challenge was to climb to the top of the hill in the dark, carrying our luggage! The point of our trip was to experience another culture and learn to understand a way of life so different to our own. One barrier which became apparent very quickly was language. The people generally spoke little English, and we also soon discovered that French is only learnt as a second language in Morocco, where most people speak Arabic. Nevertheless, somehow we managed to communicate, and interacted through gestures, smiles, songs and games. We stayed in a building recently constructed in the village, which consisted of just a few rooms, and we greatly appreciated the fact that they had thought to install a toilet

for us – we had been expecting the traditional hole in the ground! Moroccan cuisine is definitely worth exploring, and with our meals being prepared for us daily by the local women, we tried a variety of new and different dishes. Perhaps the most famous Moroccan dish is the ‘tagine’, a slow-cooked stew cooked in a distinctive pot, which consists of a variety of different

“We delighted in activities that elsewhere may have been outside Health and Safety regulations.” fruits and vegetables combined with either lamb or chicken. Also not to be missed on a visit to Morocco is the mint tea, which is delicious. Tea was served in both the mornings and the evenings, and we would eagerly await the sight of the ornate silver teapot heading towards us. Travelling to Asni or to the Atlas Mountains is a trip which requires a different approach from the kind of sight-seeing weekend spent in somewhere like Paris or Rome. We went with only a vague itinerary, and just ideas of how we might spend the time. We enjoyed each day as it came, and just being in a new place provided a variety of ways to spend our days. We helped the community, taking part in the farming activities of planting, watering and digging.

We also levelled an area so that the children could have somewhere to play games like football. We played with the children and exchanged songs, games and gifts. We also delighted in activities that elsewhere may have been outside the Health and Safety regulations – a highlight was travelling to a nearby lake to swim; we all stood in the back of an open truck as we hurtled round the winding mountain roads. Another morning was spent in the local market, which had stalls selling everything from clothes and jewellery to live rabbits and donkeys, furniture and haircuts. We decided not to follow the man who passed by with a half-butchered cow’s carcass across his back – no doubt heading for the meat market. Another day was spent trekking in the surrounding area, which boasted some spectacular views. Despite being so close to the Sahara Desert, Asni is located next to a river, which gives rise to a lush, green valley in the midst of the dark red hills. The people of Asni were just as curious about us as we were about them, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know one another. Every day ended with traditional Moroccan music and lessons in dancing to it, standing in one huge circle and slowly shuffling round whilst clapping and singing choruses. As the week came to an end we were all very sorry to leave, and I think we all returned home altered in some way by our experiences and by what we had seen. As we parted with the little community, we were left deeply affected by the realisation that whatever our culture, language and customs, as human beings, we have more similarities than differences.

Last July my friends and I ventured out to the island of Majorca in search of sun, sand and cocktails, and it didn’t disappoint. The white, sandy beach of Puerto Alcudia stretches out for miles and the sea is a brilliant mix of turquoise blues. Framed by ƚŽǁĞƌŝŶŐ ĐůŝīƐ ƚŚĂƚ ƉƌŽǀŝĚĞ ŵƵĐŚͲ needed shade, as a beach lover I was suitably impressed. We spent most days at the beach, hiring out pedalos and surf boards, exploring the side streets on the outskirts of the town, and browsing the market of fresh fruit, brightly coloured fabrics and leather satchels. We tended to stay away from any English-looking bars, preferring to discover where the locals went. Most nights we drank during happy hour at the cocktail bar Venue 21 in the centre of the town, or a place called Goodfellas. Both, despite ƚŚĞŝƌ ƌŝƟƐŚ ŶĂŵĞƐ͕ ǁĞƌĞ ĐƌĂŵŵĞĚ with Spanish locals.

How to Stuff a Bird this Christmas

Here at Concrete Food we have had a thought: why do people eat turkey at Christmas? Chicken is tastier, cheaper and easier to cook. How many people do you know with a pan big enough to make turkey stock? So forget tradition, find yourself a huge great big free-range chicken, stuff with this Christmas stuffing and tuck in. Method

Ingredients

1. Preheat your oven to 190°C/Gas 5.
