I just had this exact dish - looking exactly like your picture- at a restaurant in a French Tunisian restaurant (in Brisbane, Australia). I did not know what to expect ordering it and had not read realised that the mint (or any of the other ingredients) was not fresh but had been stewed for the 12 hours as specified on the menu. I was encouraged to eat this with extra baguette on the side. I feel ready to cross a dessert now though the taste was not something I would eagerly look for again. Not something I'd replicate for a dinner party, especially given the effort that would be required - yet it was special and interesting. Interesting enough to research and comment on. It left me with an odd cross of feeling definitely not hungry yet not weighed down or tired. (I feel I may not need to eat for a few days.) An acquired taste, like for a form of special, health giving food, one would eat before/ or while going on a long hiking expedition. Thank you for putting this out!
