When you are on a mission in a foreign Country, your job allows you to find new tastes, recipes and products. Can you tell us about a local food that you discovered thanks to the project?

Attieke (cassava ground into couscous-like grains and eaten with fish or meat), very popular in Ivory Coast!.
With FoDiBo project ADG NGOs, I discovered fonio. Fonio is considered one of the oldest African cereals. Fonio is rich in valuable micronutrients to human health: magnesium, zinc, calcium, manganese, protein, amino acids.
We recommend it especially for diabetics (through its insulin-secreting elements) and overweight people.
It is a cereal that does not require pesticides and grows easily even when the soil is not rich.
'Chikandanga' this is a local food which is made from wild tree roots. It is a very popular dish in southern Tanzania. The roots look like cassava. you can use it for lunch or dinner.
In addition to Nicodemas' comment, the most common food one can find across our project areas in Tanzania is Ugali (similar to stiff porridge, common among most Southern Africa countries), generally eaten with beans, local vegetables (kisamvu) and fish!
Bonjour à tous,
Nous sommes en train de monter un projet AGR pilote pour 4 bénéficiaires.
Elles vont faire des galettes et des soupes marocaines pour le petit déjeuner et des dejeuners dans un deuxième temps.
Bonne journée
I've tasted almost all the local food across my country, even before the being a part of this project.
