My boyfriend comes from Nigerian & Zimbabwean parents (but didn't take the accent, thank god) but his mother is always having me try their food. Its not bad, consistency of most dishes was generally thick and mostly spicy. Though I found it interesting that Sadza (the white side in OPs picture if anyones wondering) was basically the same thing as grits in the US.

I've been meaning to try Fufu aswell but haven't gotten around to it. I heard its good though?

because they strongly believe that Africans, as well as those of African descent, are subhuman, and that they're incapable of doing anything worthwhile. that belief is part of the foundation of their identity, so they react strongly to anything that challenges it, such as the idea that Africans can make food that looks and tastes good.

In my research, I first found out about the Haitian dirtcakes and must have been laughing about it for almost a week off and on, like deep and hearty laugh sessions lasting for hours.

I am very interested in Ethiopian food though I have never had it. I will probably just take a trip to NYC one day (only like 90 minutes away) and go to an Ethiopian place, I know there are some down there.

As far as food products from Africa go, I have only had coffee from Ethiopia, Burundi, and Rwanda. All of it is generally delicious and I prefer it to South American or East Asian coffee.

I will be going to Morocco for a week in June though, to various famous/well known cities, and I am super excited for the food.

Well, this being a kind of a sheltered white website, I suppose it'd be kindest to start with something folks here can directly relate to.

Zanzibar pizza, a form of street food consisting of what is more or less a pancake fried around a dish of though containing a stuffing, hardly ever actually cheese, but focusing around an egg that is fried in the middle of it all. Comes down to a neat, often spicy package easy to eat on the go.

It seems that way because we can tolerate the spillover from /pol/.

There's a casual African restaurant/take-out place near where I live. They took over a pizza place that closed, so it's a small, cozy, hole-in-the-wall kind of deal.

It's owned by two brothers and one of their wives, all from Ghana, so they specialize in West African cuisine. They're some of the friendliest people I've ever met, desu. When it's your first time there, they give you a plate full of free samples of some of the more popular dishes and answer any questions you might have. Plus it's all fucking delicious.

I've had Jollof rice, black-eyed peas with chicken, spinach stew, cabbage, curried goat, and red-red.

There's nothing wrong with voting against your direct economic interests. The large majority of wealthy people in NYC on a regular basis vote Democrat, directly against their economic interests.

Progressive taxation and social safety nets are not seen by everyone as being justified in purely moral terms

Relief of extreme poverty and the desperation it causes can be viewed in the same way as vaccines for everyone. Some problems are everyone's problem, like it or not.

New York is a dense city where the wealthy are often in contact with the working class, unlike in some places where menial jobs are taken by middle class teenagers. This breeds a form of utilitarian social consciousness. The wealthy have good reason to think of the welfare of the very poor as directly related to their own personal welfare.

Because it's from Haiti, a tiny island that's incredibly densely populated and also almost completely full of mountains. Some areas can support crops and of course they're grown there (roughly half of the Haitian population works in agriculture), but the entire infrastructure got fucked during the earthquake. Add to that an extremely corrupt government, and you get starvation.

>doesnt explain why the food is so similar when the ingredients weren't available somewhere else and the people were seperated by generations.

Sure it does. A lot of the ingredients were brought from Africa during the slave era. A massive number of the plants grown in the Southern US were not native but rather were brought from Africa. So were the cooking techniques.

There's an African restaurant literally right opposite my apartment building. I'm really curious about trying it, but I can't get over this fucking stupid hangup about how I'll be perceived by them for being the only white guy eating there. I know it doesn't fucking matter, and they'll probably just be happy to have another person giving them custom and appreciating their food, but I just can't get past that hang-up.

What do?

Going here next time I'm in Seattle.

Probably gonna get beg wat with goman and miser lentils.

Or the Ful Special.

Just put your cards on the table. Go in, say you live across the street and wanted to try something you haven't before. People who run authentic ethnic food places are usually friendly.

Do you -really- think you're the only white person that will have eaten there? You're not special. I've eaten in authentic Chinese, Mexican, Indian, Korean, Ethiopian restaurants, I've never been treated with anything but kindness.

>Traditionally, the Zulu economy depended upon cattle and a considerable amount of agriculture. Villages were economically self-sufficient. Agriculture was the sphere of women, whereas cattle were tended by the men. Crops grown were mealies, Kaffir maize, pumpkins, watermelons, calabashes, native sugar reeds, and various kinds of tubers and beans.

My spice palette is almost completely central and southern Ethiopian/ coastal Yemeni with Northern Indian influences. Most foods I prepare are done in a very Ethiopian way with a liberal usage of butters, seasoned oils and onions and really it's just something I'm most confident in.

Grains of paradise, red pepper, timiz, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, clove, fennel etc... With ginger juice and my own modifications using fish sauces, locust paste, smen, tomato paste and gelatinous bone broths.

Lots of simmering in clay or cast iron pots.

Right now I'm making a low protein diet plan after gaining too much muscle helping my grandmother build a garden (5% of my calories coming from protein) so it's tibs of mushrooms and wots of African eggplant, cabbage/potato/carrot, avocado; gomen, sour cream instead of ayib, with some injera.

The issue now is trying to cut 3 good meals 500 calories each and it be substantial.

They can't have any farms or livestock due to them not having any topsoil for planting caused excessive deforestation which then in turn, caused soil erosion during heavy rains and hurricanes etc etc

Yeah you kind of missed the part where the only reason DR turned out ok was because a batshit crazy dictator who tried to start a war with Venezuela over a personal grudge and had 30,000 people executed for not being able to correctly pronounce culinary herbs decided to launch military air strikes against commercial loggers because of his radical environmentalist beliefs.

Like what's the point of posting on an African food thread when most of you guys just want to basically make this into a black hate thread?
>>
>>7521182

I just imagine it's hard to develop a cuisine centered around U.N. rice rations.

Post recipes you assholes

These pictures mean nothing to me if I don't know what's in them. There's a Libyan market near me that probably has most of these ingredients.

Thanks for the post, I appreciate it. Have any specific recipes to share so that I can try making some of my own? There's a halal market near me with a Somali section so I think I can find most of the unique ingredients.

>most of you guys just want to basically make this into a black hate thread?

This board is populated with social recluses who barely graduated high school and had to go into the food industry to find jobs. One of the few joys in their lives is posting racist shit to get a rise out of strangers on the internet. The best way to deal with them is to not rise to the bait and to use the report button when necessary.

All major Ethiopian wot recipes begin with extremely finely chopped shallots (I tend to just grate them), I then add niter kibbeh/seasoned oil followed by a cooking down period using a dash of baking soda to quicken caramelizing (it must break down almost into a paste so who wants to wait and stir forever when baking soda quickens it) and a half teaspoon of fish sauce + two table spoons of ginger juice freshly ground.

This must be dark like red wine from reduction but not burnt, it's a process without the baking soda. It adds body, mellow sweetness and a baseline savory taste that makes the "meat" of the dish.

I then add quartered mushrooms cooked for five minutes finished off with basically a gram marsala.

Habesha cuisine doesn't often have "secret" ingredients so on the surface it looks really simple but it's all in the building and layering of flavors through reductions. The use of fish sauces, bone broths and other things are just personal preferences I appreciate but used sparingly like devils dung so it doesn't overpower.

Somali food to me is rather simplistic. It's basic Yemeni, Habesha and Indian food, the only point of going to a Somali market is for spices or canjero.

Lived on W Africa for a while a few years back. Then I found a spot in PA AND Arizona last November. I love jollof with kelewele and shiito. One of the best things ever created. Fufu is good, but gets too slimy after a while.

Fuck kenkey, though. That stuff can rip you a new anus.
