Ethiopian is generally terrific, North African can be amazing, but I don't think Egyptian is that good (maybe I just don't like ful). Some African cuisines are abundantly vegetarian/vegan friendly, too, so that can be a bonus.

But you're right, we don't get a lot of African discussion, and the only experience I have is from my own city (not in Africa). Need to get some natives up in here saying what's what.

>> No.6118815

Egyptian and Moroccan cuisine are really good, tho they are usually denoted as middle easter, which could work both ways I guess. You are right in saying that they don't get enough love here in /ck/ but that's mainly because of the orientation of 4chan in general.

Africa is a really big country with lots of little states, similar to ours. Each state has its own specialities, similar to Chicago pizza, Texas Chili, etc.

My mum makes a peanut stew with various curry-like spices, onion, garlic, chilies, fresh turmeric root and ginger root as well as lamb or goat meat, potato, bell peppers and herby stuff. It's built on lamb-or-goat-tomato stock (usually lamb because she doesn't like goat much, but she's done it a few times with goat). The stock is made by boiling bones in tomato juice rather than water.
Well, "made," actually not "makes." She hasn't actually made it in years and years now, sadly. I made some last year, though, but since I don't have a ginormous cauldron like she used when I was growing up, I could only make a small amount. Mine's pretty good, but not as good as mum's.

>>6118777
The Horn and nearby countries each have great foods. I'm most familiar with Djiboutian and Eritrean stuff, though.

I hear that West Africa is pretty delicious, too. I don't tend to like North Coast African cuisine, though, and central Africa doesn't have food, lulz.
Malagasy cuisine is like a cross between Horn food and Southeast Asian, but very toned down. It's pretty delicious, too. Reetz (or however it's written; a type of dish similar to Indonesian rendang) is really, really good and Malagasy fried chicken is best fried chicken.

I spent a couple weeks in Morocco last year, and the food was very good. What was odd was that dining out is not so much of a thing there, so the more expensive restaurants generally sucked (from the handful I tried). The street food, the home cooking and the little joints near mosques or baths were where the good food was.

Tagines often land in a middle ground between Middle Eastern stews and curries, with lots of nuance and flavor. At night on the street one could get various grilled sausages. Merguez was a little expensive (and elusive), but smaller, similarly spiced sausages that obviously contained some organ meat were cheap, tasty and easily found. In the medina in Fez I found a guy making sandwiches of steamed veal head seasoned with cumin salt and hot pepper, and I pine for them to this day.

Simple plates of grilled/fried vegetables (peppers and eggplant) and nicely seasoned white kidney beans were available from little places neat mosques, and with a hunk of bread made for delicious (and cheap) lunches.

Best meals of the trip were a chicken tagine cooked by a Berber family in the Sahara desert, a meatball and egg tagine in tomato sauce at a little joint in Chefchaouen and everything I ate over several visits to Chez Thami in the Fez Medina (though his fish tagine really stands out).

If any of you make it to Fez I recommend eating at Chez Thami at least once. It's in front of the baths by the Blue Gate. Fucking delicious, cheap and right in the heart of the medina.

This was my first post in the thread (>>6118890).

I've technically been to Africa (Morocco) and live in a city with lots of good Ethiopian and other African food (Somalian, Rwandan, N. African, S. Africa).

I don't think Africa consists of mud people in huts, but perhaps posting a picture of a city built during the Apartheid by the Afrikaans isn't the best strategy for showing others the technical advancement of (black) Africa.

Depends on where you go. Stay the fuck away from places where there's conflict or racial/tribal/religious tensions and you'll find Africans are as friendly (or even a little friendlier) than most people. But the legacy of colonialism pretty much assures there will be tensions and fighting there for generations to come.

Of course it's that very sometimes uneasy mix of cultural influences that makes some of the food there so good. I don't care how poor you are, when you have spices and a wealth of traditions guiding your cooking you are very likely to make excellent food.

Randomly draw borders in lands shared by a variety of people, and drag them into an economic system where they compete at a great disadvantage and have to play by rules they had no part in establishing and guess what you set things up for? Generations of fucking conflict. Same shit in the Middle East, and to a lesser degree Central and South America. I understand it's difficult when history flies in the face of your ideology.

Moroccan food does end up over rated I think. The French are particularly guilty of this, but it's understandable - it's the one "spicy" cuisine they understand. The Dutch are the same way about Indonesian, the English about Indian and the Americans about Mexican. Remember Morocco is a tiny country, too. So even though most of the food breaks down along the lines of salads, couscous, tagines and kebabs the fact that they manage to have the nuance and variety they do is pretty good. For what it is it's great, but after two weeks I was very excited to get back to the food in Andalusia, Spain.

The standout dishes were world class, though.

I recently spent 6 weeks in Uganda and Rwanda, and yes, the food is fantastic. I lived with local families, so I was eating very traditional meals.

Rwandan food was much more plain that Ugandan. Most nights my host family would make just rice and beans, but they always had this chili oil that was dangerously spicy and unimaginably flavorful. Most restaurants are buffet style, and the buffets would include fresh fruit, (pineapple, watermelon, bananas, mango), sliced vegetables (red peppers, cucumbers, carrots), white rice, red beans, various stwes made with vegetables and beef, goat, or chicken, posho (ugali), cassava root, and fried potatoes (a crowd pleaser). In Rwanda you are much more likely to find western restaurants and western food. One night I went to an italian restaurant and got some of the best lasagna I've ever had.

Ugandan food was absolutely delightful. Although it was available in both countries, I found much more chipati in Uganda, which is a simple flour and water bread that's cooked in vegetable oil. Omlettes (eggs with onions and peppers) were also very popular as breakfast or as an afternoon snack to be eaten with tea. Rolex was AMAZING. It's basically a mixture of chipati and an omelette. Avocados were very popular, and I even had guacamole a number of times. Fish was more prevalent here as well, and it was often dried, which I did not like much. Groundnuts (peanuts) were a huge staple in their diets and the often made stews and sauces (like homemade peanut butter-YUM) with it. You wouldn't think that peanut fish stew would be good, but it's really quite good. Matooke (boiled, mashed green bananas), cabbage, and potatoes (irish and sweet) were also common. My favorite meal was this wrap-like lunch I had. This wonderful woman used chipati as a wrap and put an omelet and sliced avocado inside. It was simple, but so fresh. I also had tangerine/avocado juice which was to die for.

I'm not sure if this is ambiguity fallacy or you just being an idiot. America was financed by rich people, like pretty much every other country. America was BUILT by pretty much everyone imaginable: English settlers, Irish slaves, Chinese railroad workers, Italian and German immigrants, the list goes on and on. That's why your original claim of "America wouldn't exist without Africans" is fucking nonsense. Despite what your college history course told you, colonial America was more than cotton fields and plantations.

That 1% that owned slaves were the richest caste of Americans. That 1% that owned slaves signed the declarations and did the tea party and all that other shit you read about in the history books.
That 1% used slaves to build America. While the slaves were slaving away doing that 1% labour, that 1% had enough time to go on and do all that shit I just mentioned.

Aaaaaand dropped. The Irish were already being shipped to America as slaves in the 1620's - nearly 20 years before the first instances of black slavery in colonial America. And yes, the Irish were both more numerous and were treated worse. I'd say that they built more of America based on that alone.

Other way around. Irish slaves didn't arrive until after the Catholic rebellion of 1641. African slaves arrived before 1619.

My family are well versed in traditional Creole cuisine, most of it rooted in the early agricultural expansion in the early 18th century of Senegal

Most people are unaware of this but Africa domesticated a species of rice independently from Asian rice and most Creole dishes are essentially Sengambian cuisine that adopted tomato, pepper, peanut and wheat flour before watering down here in the US.

If one really cooks and reads the history of crop migration and adoption at least it becomes quite clear.

My SIL is a Congolese metis griffone who
would make fufu and peanut stews, very filling and flavorful with the native spices but I'm only just now seeing them outside import store and only a couple.

My interest was first Habesha cuisine.

"Ethiopian cuisine" as known only encompasses the main group in power Amharic/Tigrinya with some Gurage dishes like at in, gomen, kitfo...but not the majority Oromo.

But now I am experimenting with a conceptualized kind of cuisine, like idk interesting ways to use various root starches and crops but I don't like posting about that here because I get called hipster.
>>6120238
Rice to the New World for one
Black eyed peas
Okra
Sorghum
Pearl Millet

Crops are mainly been useful for semiarid regions like northern India, Mexico and Australia apparently.

They are the reason most cuisines from Brazil to the US occured, enslaved blacks especially women were often responsible for some of the best cuisine examples from Gumbo and jamabalaya to idk every single dish in the Caribbean and most dishes in Brazil save for the more recent Italian, Japanese and German dishes.

You do realize the process of domestication is not naturally occurring but rather its a mutualistic exchange right?

It's not a matter of cross-cultural cusines when slave societies exclusively ran on slave and free black people cooking.

The only "cross" anything were food crops themselves.

Of course I am not stating every single dish is of their making (as I already mentioned) but it's not reaching at all to state they are responsible for nearly all of them.

I am saying that the main food items utilized in the cuisine, the people who created the cuisine and the people still continuing those traditions are rooted in Senegambian food ways.

NOLA does not mean Creole, Creole does not mean NOLA.

Italians are mostly a late 20th ccentury import around Louisiana, they are known for their baked goods like bread. The "germans" were actually from Alsace and border regions, mainly francophone and mostly are known for pork sausages but that's a component to dishes not.

the Acadian migrants merely produced same foods as rural Creoles. Their culinary history in the Maritimes were not replicated down in the bayous, neither were they alone when they migrated down there. They were met 2 to 1 by Creoles.

In all this you are ignoring the fact that every group had African workers, chefs, cooks and wives/placee cooking for them.

My experiences with African food...

> Ivory Coast :
the food there was very good, I ate lot of grilled fish, grilled giant land snails, crab, fried plantain bananas, and many dishes cooked in delicious sauces. Most of the people is very poor, tho, and survive on a diet of grains made of kassava, which are very bland if eaten alone (they call it Athieké). Most of the people eat using their hands but it's not recommended if you don't want to get an infection, as well as eating fresh food (salad, fruit) that you haven't prepared yourself. In the markets you can see bush meat; which is not difficult to find.

> Morocco :
food is ok (couscous, tajine and the like) but can be monotonous if you eat in cheap touristic places. Non-moroccan food was usually very bad.

> Tunisia :
has some interesting dishes such as "bricks" (fried wheat sheets with tuna inside), the tunisian salad is also worth trying.
