So, African food, eh?!


Question:

So, African food, eh?

I once made an ok Moroccan lamb stew, but apart from that... what's up with African food? Everything African I've been served has been inedible! Bland... gristly, greasy, squashy... after 3 tries, should I go back for more? Have you had good African food? Do tell.

Hehe. it was actually a recent visit to an Ethiopian restaurant that prompted me to ask the question. We must have been unlucky, I guess. Worst restaurant meal I ever ate! Or didn't eat, in this case :-) I'll have to try somewhere else.

Ethiopian food, when done properly is magnificent. Fresh injera, wat, etc...
Eritriean food is very similar but also can include okra, tomatoes and zucchini, and is just as good. Eritrean food also has "sambusas" which are a bit like Indian Samosas but even better (if you ask me). Both countries make a magnificent honey wine called tej (or sometimes mes). Their coffee is the best in the world.
Senegalese food is also delicious.
East African food, for example in Rwanda, is hearty and tasty - especially if you like tilapia with a variety of sauces and chips (French Fries).

Ethiopian food is full of wonderful flavors and textures. Lamb, chicken, beef stews, which are spicy but not necessarily hot. There are tons of vegetarian entrees: greens, lentils, and a stew made with cabbage, carrot, and potatoes. It's served in small mounds on a platter lined with injere bread, which soaks up all the juice. Mmmmm, its delicious.

But I'd really try to find a Ethio restaurant.

My Fave is Nigerian food. It's not to greasy full of spice and veggies plus a bonus most recipes can be easily converted to seafood.

Do you really like being narrow minded, just because you are used to artery clogging burgers and fries, don't diss other foods, no wonder this country is hated by everybody.

And to the girl below me, Take your meds, you lousy *****.
