The most authentic staple food in C? te d 'Ivoire is Attiéké, and there is no Chinese translation online. Attiéké is just a kind of cereal that is crushed and fermented into granules. It looks and tastes like Gusgus, a kind of millet in North Africa, but it is a little sour and fermented, so I don't like it very much.

Attiéké is very sticky, so the local standard way to eat it is by hand. Black people also like to mix tomatoes, onions, meat pieces and the like and grab them together with their hands.

The second staple food is Alloco and Klaklo. These two staple foods are two different things to the local people, but they are basically the same thing to me. In short, they are all fried bananas. The difference is that the former is fried with banana slices with normal maturity, while the latter is fried with bananas with almost black skin. You may think of fried bananas, our traditional food in Wuhan, but its popularity is completely incomparable with fried bananas here. C? te d 'Ivoire is a big country producing all kinds of bananas, so the production cost of Alloco and Klaklo is quite low.

Bread and rice are also local staple foods in C? te d 'Ivoire, but the prices are not so close to the people compared with Attiéké and fried plantains. Local bread is no different from French bread. There are baguettes or whole wheat croissants and chocolate bread (grape bread is rare because there are no grapes locally). One of the characteristics of cooking in Ivory Coast is to try not to make white rice. Generally, a small amount of spices or vegetables will be added, but the amount added is not as much as the vegetable rice we eat in China, just to adjust the taste.

main course

The basic principle of local cooking is that no matter what ingredients are smoked first, they are called local French braising (note that this is basically different from French braising or English braising). Followed by stew (rago? T) and braised pork, there are few fried and fried dishes that China people are good at.

food

Pork is not very common, and chicken has naturally become the favorite cheap meat of local people. There is a very famous local chicken called Pintade Guinea fowl, also called African chicken, which was quite noble when it was alive.

Beef and mutton are relatively luxurious ingredients in C? te d 'Ivoire. I usually buy veal in the street at 60 yuan RMB per kilogram, which is not cheap compared with the price in China. However, local cattle and sheep are often stocked, especially in rural areas, where lovely goats are everywhere, and the pure natural meat quality is absolutely not lost to domestic production.

The most common way to roast beef in the local area is smoking. When cooked, it is mixed with onions and tomatoes and sprinkled with pepper and garlic cloves. This dish is called smelly duck by local people. Every night, there are many stalls selling stinky tofu in downtown Abidjan. Stalls are often near noisy streets. Mosquitoes and dust are Qi Fei. The sound of cars is boiling and smells like hooligans, if you can bear it.

The night market is mainly for packaging. There are no bags in the package, all paper bags, and one book is only a dozen RMB. The local people are full of praise for this food. I didn't eat much, and the evaluation was good. Beef tastes tough but not old. It tastes slightly heavier but enters the meat, so it is very suitable for eating and drinking.

Chinese food pays attention to sauces and ingredients, while western food separates sauces and ingredients. Therefore, a sauce system that Chinese food does not have is derived from western food. When I arrived in C? te d 'Ivoire, as mentioned above, the way of making ingredients is relatively simple, so sauce has become a very important part of the eating habits of Ivorians. In particular, local people often like to soak fish, meat, meat and other ingredients in thick sauce, which is far from the habits of China and France. You can feel it at will through the pictures below.

First of all, this kind of peanuts, roasted coconut shreds and so on in glass bottles,

Chien means puppy in French. According to legend, many black-hearted stall owners used to hang sheep's heads to sell dog meat, which made people afraid to eat mutton skewers for a long time, and said that street barbecues colluded with money.

sandwich

Bread should be coated with a lot of disturbing sauces.

Gbofloto

Probably the most common breakfast for local people, which is basically fried dough sticks.

Jungle meat

Recently, a local food has gained popularity in world public opinion: jungle meat. According to legend, the earliest Ebola virus was obtained because humans ate jungle meat infected with Ebola virus, so jungle meat can't be found in the current market in C? te d 'Ivoire.

Jungle meat refers to the meat of wild animals caught in hunting, including the above-mentioned orangutans and monkeys, as well as various wild boars, antelopes and bats (roasted bats, a famous dish in Abidjan). Black people are not good at cooking. They often bake jungle meat into animal shapes and chew it, which often gives people a strong visual impact.

In people's impression, Africa is vast and sparsely populated, coupled with drought, laziness and lack of materials, it seems that there is nothing to eat all year round. Actually, we don't have to worry about these black brothers. Their food is not as bad as we thought.

Africa is not rich in products, but it can also grow some crops, such as rice and corn, which are the staple foods of most Africans. In addition, it is said that there is a magical food in Africa called cassava, which is suitable for all kinds of eating methods and is deeply loved by African blacks. We often eat vegetables that Africans eat, such as tomatoes, potatoes, onions, pumpkins and celery. Meat, pork, beef and mutton are also common in Africa, but not everyone can afford them.

Africa is divided into South Africa and North Africa. Generally speaking, South Africa is more developed, with better living conditions and much better food. In North Africa, seafood is a luxury ornament. Long-distance transportation is costly and expensive. Most people don't eat at all. But in South Africa, although seafood is also expensive, there are many more people eating it.

Here are some photos of African farmers' markets. I'll believe that when I see it.

Barbecue is not cheap in terms of local prices.

It's easier to cut up the fish and sell it.

Prawn, this is a luxury. The price refers to Qingdao prawns.

African specialty, African snail. It is said that it has high nutritional value.

Finally, let's look at the fruit market in Africa. Look at a banana, there are not many kinds of fruits.

In African food culture, cassava and plantain are generally staple foods. As a highly adaptable organism, cassava can even grow on barren land. Therefore, Africa's cassava production is very high, accounting for half of the world's production. Cassava has a variety of practices and is also a unique flavor of Africa. And plantains, Africans don't regard them as a kind of fruit, but use them to fill their stomachs. Sure, eat whatever you have.

Brother came back from the wild!

When black people eat, they feel that no matter what they are, they like to eat roasted bats, roast chicken, roast mutton, roast beef ... these are common foods in Africa, and they also bake bananas. Bread, such as pillow bread, will be cut into pieces and fried. Barbecue frying, like the unique cooking style of black people, tastes delicious, but it is also unhealthy.

In this respect, unhealthy food culture is also one of the reasons why black people don't live long.

Africans who live by the sea like to drink coconut juice, and they also use coconuts or other grains to make wine. It is said that the only local wine that African governments are allowed to sell and drink now is called "Busa". When drinking, several people, even dozens of people, put their thin pipes three to five meters long into the jar at the same time, smoking and chatting.

China people pay the most attention to "food is the most important thing for the people", and the food is also rich and varied. However, in the vast land of Africa, there are many kinds of food, but people may not be able to eat it.

Rich countries in Africa can pay attention to their diet, while poor countries really don't look good.

Some of my classmates work in Africa. There are many Africans working in their factories. Sometimes the factory is very profitable. African workers are very excited to improve their food, cooking a potato stew chicken, cooking cabbage with big meat and so on, because this is the way they have never seen before to cook food. They never thought that simple ingredients could make such delicious food.

Most Africans eat without sauce. Maybe the staple food is potatoes, cassava, or rice, all of which are eaten directly with hands dipped in sauce.

I don't know what these sauces are. They are all stewed with oil, vegetables and meat.

Asked a lot of people, they all said that African cooking methods are mainly roasting and stewing. Some African girls cook in China factory and learn some simple cooking skills from Master China. They are very excited.

While slightly richer African countries such as South Africa, Egypt and Ethiopia can pay a little attention to their diet and start using tableware.

South Africa produces a sacred meat, which locals call "sacred meat Biltong", which is generally an excellent food with red wine.

Samosa is an appetizing snack in South Africa, which is deeply loved by local people.

The most popular food for barbecues in South Africa is undoubtedly this long sausage.

Simple and rude foods like South African sandwiches are also very popular.

Ghana is rich in food. Simply put, it is stewed with palm oil, vegetables and meat. And often make a pot of soup. Dip your hands in rice when you eat. This is the local ethnic food.

In the poorest countries in Africa, people may not be so particular about what they eat, and often eat when they are hungry (if there is food), while fewer people use tableware, and most of them grab it directly with their hands.

Cassava and plantain are gratifying because they are produced in Africa. Many people eat directly by roasting or stewing, which is also a staple food that many people like.

Others cook banana rice, which is often baked or cooked with the skin on. Anyway, locals like to eat like this.

Corn soup is a rare food for many Africans. Most people in Africa live on corn, rice and potatoes, while the poor live on cassava.

Lemon, a kind of fruit all over Africa, is picked by children and adults in South Africa in a strange way and eaten directly with the skin before it is fully mature.

Of course, Africa is very vast, and the food flavor is also varied. Please supplement your explanation.

Many friends may think that Africa is backward and poor, and the food is definitely not satisfactory. But is this really the case? Let's continue to see what they eat. Take their daily diet as an example to understand.

1.Ugali This is their staple food, which is made of all kinds of miscellaneous grains powder and water. But these miscellaneous grains contain cassava flour, which is mostly used to make snacks in China, such as taro balls. But most people don't know cassava. There are sweet potatoes, cold potatoes and potatoes in China, but cassava is rarely seen.

Cassava is equivalent to wheat and rice in China in Africa, and it is one of the staple foods of African people. In fact, in the famine years, our compatriots also had the experience of eating cassava, but with the development of agriculture, they gradually faded out of the table.

However, due to its extensive planting methods, it is loved by lazy African people with low level of agricultural modernization. Data show that more than 60% of cassava in the world is produced in Africa.

In Africa, almost every agricultural family in sub-Saharan Africa grows soybeans. Cassava is also known as the "king of starch", so it can become the staple food of Africans.

Some people say: if you haven't eaten cassava, you haven't been to Africa!

Cassava tuber, as a very important staple food, is soaked in water, peeled, ground and baked at high temperature to detoxify. The general shape is sticky dough, called "Xiang", which is yellow and white, and is eaten with vegetables. It tastes like a rice cake, but it is more tough, light in taste and full. There are also vendors selling cassava with zongzi leaves on the streets of Africa. The price is very low, a string is enough for one person to eat for a day!

2. Super food II-Nshima Many people have seen this kind of food in the video. In fact, it is corn paste, usually made of corn flour, and a small part of it is made of cassava flour or a mixture of the two.

Production method: grind corn into powder, pour it into boiling water, stir while cooking, and finally concentrate the finished product into imam. It's eaten the same way as Wisdom Fofo Agbo, but it's light, so it's best to eat it with sauce or side dishes.

I wonder if any careful friends have noticed that corn paste is white.

This is because the maize varieties in Africa and China are different. /kloc-from the beginning of the 6th century to the middle of the 7th century, Arabs and western Europeans introduced corn to all parts of Africa by sea and land. Horse tooth white corn has become the main edible variety in Africa. This kind of corn is resistant to fertilizer and water, with high yield and poor taste, and is suitable for making starch or alcohol. Therefore, it has become their daily feast.

3. Rich Fruits Africa is a huge wild orchard. Fruits such as mango, mangosteen, annona, avocado and banana are very common in Central and West Africa. Some Africans grow mangosteen in their yards. In the mature season, the picture is enviable.

But there is a banana-banana's brother-banana plain, which is not in the fruit circle in Africa, but active in the staple food circle, and is affectionately called "African sweet potato". Rice banana is a wild variety. It tastes astringent raw and the pulp is hard and thick. But after peeling, baking or slicing and frying, it becomes soft and sweet, and it is the best staple food in the hearts of many Africans!

When eating in a restaurant, the waiter usually asks whether the staple food is rice, French fries or bananas. Africans are very creative in cooking bananas, such as stewed bananas, fried bananas, bananas with Chili sauce, banana wine and so on.

If you eat in a restaurant, the waiter usually asks whether the staple food is rice, French fries or bananas.

4. Seafood Africans sell seafood, which is really super cheap, 1 yuan a catty, and seafood is much cheaper than vegetables and fruits. The price of seafood in Africa is the same as that of vegetables in China, which is super cheap. It is no exaggeration to say that the African vegetable market is a seafood paradise.

However, seafood is not so popular in Africa, because it was relatively fresh when it was first salvaged. However, the weather in Africa is hot and dry, and no one buys it for a long time, and the fishy smell of seafood will be emitted, which is strong and pungent. Many local people have nothing to keep fresh at home. If there is a refrigerator at home, it proves that they are already rich, but ordinary people don't.

The main fish they eat are freshwater cultured catfish (catfish), tilapia and swordfish. Shrimp and crab are generally not considered as food. However, oysters have been widely planted and eaten, including cooked oysters, which can be used as snacks.

5. Africans who eat soil really eat soil, which has a very long history in Cameroon, Africa. You can buy soil in any supermarket in Cameroon. This kind of soil is called kaolin locally, and every child here has the experience of eating soil. This kind of behavior is recorded in the local literature of colonial period.

In fact, eating soil has been reported in many countries. In Wuxiang, Shanxi, China, there is a snack called "Fried Fingers", which is made of loess.

Other countries including Argentina, Iran and Namibia also have records of eating soil. The study also draws some rules: in the tropics, this kind of behavior is more likely to happen to two kinds of people: children and pregnant women. Pregnant women use clay to treat nausea. Of course, it also plays an auxiliary role in the fetus invisibly.

Attachment: Many people think that Africans are poor and backward, and Africa has no hope. In fact, the happiness index of Africans is very high. Africans are not very rich, but they are easily satisfied. Although hunger is very common in Africa, in fact, even if they don't have enough to eat, they are not worried. Many Africans take bananas and other African tropical fruits as their staple food, and they are happy to eat bananas when they are hungry. Perhaps it is because their pursuit of material things is not too high that they can feel happier.

Please correct me if there is anything wrong. I am @ Slow Food. Have fun and learn something! Click like, let more people see this answer, thank you for your support! Because of my work, I worked in Uganda, Africa. I know something about what Africans eat, so I will tell you what I have seen.

Uganda is located in East Africa, which is divided into dry season and rainy season, and there is no shortage of rain all year round. Moreover, the land in Uganda is very fertile and the farming conditions are very good. However, Uganda is not self-sufficient in food and needs relief from the United Nations. This is very incomprehensible.

We hired many local people in Uganda to take care of the lunch. Our company set up a separate black canteen and gave them meal tickets at noon every day. They usually give each person a plate and add some soup to a spoonful of rice when eating, which is good for them, but black people can't look at it with their hands.

The black diet is incomprehensible. For example, black people can directly cook bananas with skins as staple food, which tastes similar to sweet potatoes. They can also air-dry banana jackfruit and add some rice to porridge when they want to eat it. Moreover, blacks can drink it three times a day, and bananas and pineapples in Uganda continue all the year round, so blacks have no income and don't worry about eating and drinking.

All the people who can eat rice in Uganda are well-bred, but the local rice in Uganda is not delicious. All the rice we eat is in containers consigned from China.

I don't know about other parts of Africa. I have only been to Congo cloth. The characteristics of people's diet here can basically be summarized as one sentence: "Eat whatever you catch". The staple food is cassava, which can be eaten into balls after fermentation, drying, grinding into powder and finally boiling with hot water. As for other meats, it's really all-encompassing, only what you haven't seen, and nothing they haven't eaten. I once visited their farmers' market, which was really a gathering of wild animals. Small crocodiles are directly chopped into pieces for sale, and a catfish with a head as big as a washbasin is still pink. Monkeys can be preserved for a long time without peeling or molting. A cobra more than one meter long cut off its head and cut it into pieces for everyone to share. Six or seven centimeters long, white and fat worms are sold as pots. Other nameless wild animals can also be seen everywhere.

Friends, African cuisine, like African personality, reflects the cultural diversity of this rainbow country. Because it combines traditional African food and other resources. When you taste these foods, you must accompany them with African beer.

Africa is a poor country in everyone's impression. When it comes to African cuisine, people may think that there is nothing delicious here. In fact, the African diet is quite distinctive. Now, let's introduce African food culture to you.

In the climate of Africa, the food here in Africa has formed a unique food culture. Africa is rich in spices, vegetables and fruits. Therefore, many kinds of food are mixed and cooked here. For meat, most of it is roasted and then mixed with curry, milkshake, tomato juice and so on.

South Africans like to capture and cook delicious food with captured animals. Africa's unique cuisine is to cut mutton or pork into cubes, put apricots into the meat, then put the meat on a wooden stick and bake it slowly in the open air. After the meat is cooked, it is served with corn porridge, which has a very unique taste. Barbecue has always been a favorite of South Africans. The main material is pork and beef sausage, and various spices including cardamom, fennel, clove and garlic are added. Roast lamb chops and steaks slowly on the barbecue catkins, with thick corn porridge and special onion sauce, which is very delicious.

Cassava is the main dish in Africa. There are many ways to eat cassava in Africa. Africans process cassava into granules, powders or lumps, which can be steamed, fried, boiled and baked. Cassava processed into different shapes has different names. Ivorians call crushed cassava "Attuyer Gai", which can be eaten with special vegetable juice after being cooked. Many working-class lunches in Central and West Africa are just Atiye lids in plastic bags. Ivorians call cassava noodles processed into flour "Futu" or "Fufu". When eating, it is brewed with boiling water, repeatedly mixed and pounded into a paste-like dough similar to China rice cakes, and served with vegetable juice or other dishes.

When processing edible cassava blocks, you only need to cut fresh cassava into your favorite blocks, steam or fry them and eat them, just like eating sweet potatoes or potatoes. Baking cassava is the easiest, as long as the fresh cassava is roasted directly on the fire, you can eat it. It should be noted that raw cassava is easy to be poisoned, because the tuber, stem and leaves of cassava contain a cyanide called cyanoside, which must be soaked and cooked before it can be eaten.

There are many poor countries and regions in the world, where people often don't have enough to eat, but what do you think when you know that people in a place are eating soil every day? In some parts of Africa, this phenomenon is real because of local climate and environmental factors.

Food can't be planted at all, and people there have to eat soil to survive. They usually choose some good soil, first choose a piece of land, then dig out the soil layer, bring some fresh soil home, and after some simple processing and filtering, it becomes food.

People in poor areas of Africa will put mud in the sun and make mud cakes. In order to make mud cakes have some flavor, they usually add some seasonings. But if you eat this food in your stomach, the consequences can be imagined, and some people will always have a stomachache.

Besides, there is a disgusting smell in my mouth. Eating such food for a long time will not only lead to malnutrition, but also do great harm to the body. Knowing their living conditions, do you suddenly feel happy every day? (The above pictures are all from the Internet)
