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?

Maadi is based

Real African food is basically bush meat + maggi.

Ok, cool. I was worried.

Why are 98% of the ingredients in this thread not native to Africa?

North African food = Best African food.
South african food is good tier
West African + Horn food is meh
Rest is goatshit
The best African dishes in my opinion are tagines and Merguez sausage (pic)

>>7521182
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.

I remember my freshman year of college I had to do a presentation on various aspects of a different culture, I was given Haiti. 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. My gf at the time, avid SJW, despised me for it, but holy shit they fucking eat dirt willingly. I'm fucking giggling about it now, and that was almost 5 years ago.

I travel many moon to eat famous dirt cake like my ancestor before me

Well first off, you don't eat it by yourself, bring a friend.

You tear a piece of the bread off, fold it, and use it to grip a piece of anything on the platter. Eat and repeat. Enjoy.

>>7522764
You tear and scoop. I've been to a few African restaurants on a whim, and they've always been pretty good. I don't understand the complaints.

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.

>>7522728
>posts pick of someone's cat puke on the dish
Well I think it's delicious so you can fuck off for all I care.

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.

>>7522920

>sheltered white website

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

Whereas in Reddit, they had all been banned before (you) could see them, giving the illusion of a magical multicultural utopia where everyone lives happily with diversity.

Are Whites really sheltered here? Or is it that people here just don't demonize Whites like they do in your safe space?

Poverty among southern Whites is among the deepest poverty in the country, and yet they tell themselves, at least they are not black, which allows them to vote against their interests. That is shelter from the realities of the class structure.

>>7523005
Anything that falls out of their incredibly narrow frame of reference. Whites are more afraid of the unfamiliar than the most insular nigger tribe.

>>7521182
It's a meme at this point, just ignore it. Anyone who knows food knows that Africa has some bomb-ass food.

Anyone see the Bourdain where he went to the Ethiopian restaurant in DC? And they served him raw ground beef with coca cola sauce and that fucked up sponge bread?

Was funny watching him try to hide how much he loathed it.

>>7521086
That looks tasty as fuck. But what is that long thing in the bottom left? Looks like either a banana or a breadstick

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.
It's all damn delicious, now I'm craving it. Gonna have to stop there soon.

>>7523016
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. Perhaps it's more justifiable for them because they're not starving. Still, it's not somehow dumb to value other things more than your tax rate and how many services you get from the gov't.

>>7523120

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.

I've never had African food before, what are the base ingredients to most dishes? It looks like a lot of chilis and grilled meats, looks spicy too

>>7523005
The concept that perhaps that the way of life they enjoy might have something to do with subjugation of others. So when people ask for equal treatment, they're not seeing it as people getting their share fair of the pie, they're seeing it as people after their own.

Can't I escape this shit in /ck/ even?

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.

i was wondering the same thing, most pictures here if i seen them on another thread id just assume theyre from the south in the states, in fact the resemblance is pretty amazing, yeah, slaves i know, but that doesnt explain why the food is so similar when the ingredients weren't available somewhere else and the people were seperated by generations.

>>7525036
>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.

If you want to learn more about this, check out the "Mind of a Chef" episodes with Sean Brock

>>7522920

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.

Looks like tripe.

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.

I literally make a detailed post about my food culture and process and no one is interested in a thread meant to discuss these things.

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.

you faggots are really trying to force this meme?
African food is poo and ants, everything else is something the rest of the world has been making for centuries. You can just rename food and call it african

>>7533773
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.

>>7533793
I wish being stupid was illegal.

>>7533907
Simply epic.

>>7533904
Oh shit, forgot the most important part. Berbere must be added once the onions start to reduce with a bit of added water to make sure it won't dry out.

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.

>>7525978
Is this a thing? How am I supposed to feel as a black person eating in a diner? It never crosses my mind that anyone gives a shit, just think of that, what do you think when you see a non white person eating at a place full of whites? Probably don't even bother to think about it, you are there to eat.

I think you should cover where someone could make berbere, if they didn't have access to it. I have no idea how to make it so it would be helpful.

>>7538950
>>7533904
Not that guy, but you best shell out and buy it from an Ethiopian shop/market if you're in a metropolitan area. Proper berbere recipes are passed down through the family from generation to generation. My aunt goes to the market, buys just the right amount of peppers and about 10 other things (can't remember) and dries it for a few days. Shit I wish I took a pic of it, it was beautiful. Once it's ready she puts all that stuff in a big ass mortar and smashes the shit out of it with the designated smashing stick. There's probably substitute recipes for habeshas living abroad, but it won't taste the same desu.

t. half Ethiopian

This stuff is really good.

>>7533904
I got kind of antsy and tried my hand at this, but I didn't have time to get all the special stuff so it's just shallots and ginger and a little garlic, as per your method. The meat is pork cheeks and the spices are aleppo pepper, cumin, black pepper, cayenne, and fenugreek. I also used a little bit of white wine to deglaze the pork cheek fond before adding it to the shallots.

The shallots went from like the entire pan, to like an inch at the bottom of the pan, I feel like I should have used more. Also it took about an hour and a half to reach the deep brown, since I didn't do the baking soda.

It's not really proper but if it turns out tasty I might make the 2 hour round trip for all that crazy stuff this weekend. Still got a while to go for the meat to get tender.

fucking wish there were half decent african restaurants around me

anyone had that nasty af ceremonial tea from west africa?

i love gambian food, but whenever i go out to the restaurants the owners always want to give me the tea as a special favor and i have to choke it down each time, ruins my meal.

reminds me of a time i went to a birthday party cook out. knew the people were black so i was psyched, didn't know that they were gambian. showed up to a whole roasted goat, never been more happy in my life.

How vegan does African food get?

yes

Holy shit, I thought I'd never see the day.

We can't even have an Indian food thread any more due to pooposters.

Maafe best girl, as long as it's swimming in palm oil and with big ol chunks of yam and plantain.

Fufu on the side.

>>7540523
did you scroll over that /pol/ part?

>>7538950
That's easily googleable desu, I have a family recipe like >>7539182 talks about but other than roasting on a dry cast iron and using a mortar and pestle (THAT YOU MUST NEVER WASH) can't really say any of them are incorrect.

>>7539182
Ferenj will never have access to timiz, birds eye pepper or korrima anon, they have never even tasted it at a restaurant so they would notice too much of a difference.

Also what's the other half of you (are you the half Mexican from /int/ who posted pics while in Central Asia?)
>>7539601
Glad you liked it, I can't vouch for pork in Ethiopian food. The only people who eat swine in Ethiopia are basically untouchables who come from hunting castes or really poor people who hide it.
>>7540312
Tbh all African cuisines are vegan friendly, meat was never all that common save for hunting people's and wealthy.

To get richness fermented seeds from Parkia spp., Egusi, Cowpea and roselle seeds were used. However bullion has replaced that because it's a prestige food.

Don't ever eat anywhere outside of Ethiopian restaurant in the West for vegan food though.

Why's that? It's the tastiest animal there is. Is it just a cultural hangup from when y'all were Jews?

>>7523768
Underrated post /10

>>7541393
Some of us are still Jews ;)

But to put it simply, yes. Judaic Christianity and Islam make up the majority of Ethiopia to this day. Those who eat non-kosher animals/creatures that are hunted are seen as impure even if they haven't in a generation or two.
