Due to the influence of Italy, Turkey, India and Arab countries, the food culture of Somalia is also very rich. Below we will introduce some of the most commonly eaten delicacies of Somalis.
1. Somali pancakes look very similar to Chinese pancakes, but to tell you the truth, the taste is different.
These pancakes are usually made in round or square shapes and are made from wheat flour. They are soft and crispy and are usually eaten by Somalis with sauce or tea.
I wonder if adding our donkey meat will taste like donkey meat being burned.
2. Fried crispy horns. These fried snacks are usually eaten during Ramadan. By the way, many people in Somalia are Muslims.
There is usually a filling of beef and other ingredients inside. When you take a bite, it is crispy and spicy. It is very delicious, but you must eat it while it is hot.
3. Soft bread This soft bread is eaten all over Somalia. It is baked from flour with baking powder, butter, milk and vanilla. It tastes soft and sweet.
4. Somali Breakfast Pancake This type of breakfast pancake is inspired by the Indian style. It has the feel of Indian flying pancake. It is usually rolled and eaten with sauce, just like Northeastern green onions dipped in soybean sauce.
5. Pilaf This kind of pilaf feels like a hodgepodge. It contains mutton, onions, lemons, etc. plus a variety of seasonings. It tastes very rich.
6. Stewed chicken. When it comes to stewed chicken, many friends are going to start talking about it. Who doesn’t know how to cook chicken? Which country doesn’t have it?
To be honest, the taste of chicken cooked in different countries is indeed very different. Although they are stewed in the same way, first of all, the meat texture of the chicken is different, the ingredients and seasonings are different, the processing methods are different, and even the pots are different.
The meat tastes different. This Somali chicken stew is added with tomatoes, potatoes, coriander, ginger and some other ingredients. The locals like it very much.
7. Pie This pie looks more like our ordinary pie, but it is made of flour and cornmeal. The way to eat it is also very different. They will add lemon to it.
Bananas, even grilled.
8. Egg balls, as the name suggests, are egg ball-shaped snacks. An egg is wrapped in mashed potatoes and fried into balls. Sometimes beef balls are made from beef if conditions are better. This delicacy is not only a snack of Somalis.
, and it is the memory of delicious aftertaste for many people. After one bite, to use a Chinese saying, everyone becomes happy.
9. Somali Crystal Dessert This is the first time I have seen this kind. It is made from corn starch, butter and sugar. It is usually served at weddings. It tastes very sweet, but eating too much will damage your teeth.
10. The traditional fish set meal is different from some countries in Africa. Others use cassava flour as the staple food, while Somalia uses rice. The dish is stewed with fish, eggplant, tomatoes and onions, and is eaten with rice. The locals are very fond of it.
Love the combination of food.
