There is a dish in Egypt called Tagen (with hard "g")

And in Tunisia there is some meal called Tajine ... both meals are different.

Gary, please describe what did you eat exactly ... was that in clay pot?

Tajine is a morrocan meal.. very famous aound the world same as COS COS and HARIRRAH ( the famous soup ).. Tajine normally consists of beef/lamp and Vegitbales. and I would think there is no differnce bteween TAGIN as egyptian food and Tajine as morrocan one,,, I mean in the basis as meat and Vegi but ingredints could be differnt and .. herbs.. spice.. Now Gary if you are in Uk then you can find Tajine in so many resturants speically in London.

COS COS is the most famous north african dish... mostly in Morroco .. it is the traditional dish and it is widley used in Algeria and Tunisia as well
not sure about Lybia .,, but in Egypt is used by differnt concept... COS COS is kind of Pasta which you can eat with Vegi, Checkin or Meet .. In Egypt it is normally with sugar as weet .. this in the city but in country side thsy eat with sose... lamp..etc.. Harirah is the best and most rich soup you can evry eat in your life .. mixed with nuts and if you are in france for instance you will find millions of resturants in Paris service all these types of food.. also can be found in London but on small capacity... enjoy the food.. opps enjoy reading I mean
