Influenced by Italy, Turkey, India and Arab countries, Somali countries are also rich in food culture. Let's introduce some foods that Somalis eat most often.
1. Does Somali pancake
look very similar to China pancake? To tell you the truth, it tastes different. This kind of pancake is usually round or square, made of wheat flour, and tastes soft and crisp. Somalis usually eat it with sauce or tea. I don't know if our donkey meat will taste like donkey meat on fire.
2. Fried crispy corners
This fried snack is usually eaten during Ramadan. By the way, many people in Somalia are Muslims. There is usually a little stuffing made up of beef and other ingredients. Take a bite, it's crisp and spicy, and it's very delicious, but eat it while it's hot.
3. Soft bread
This kind of soft bread is eaten all over Somalia. It is made of flour, baking powder, butter, milk and vanilla, and tastes soft and sweet.
4. Somali breakfast cake
This kind of breakfast cake draws on the Indian style, the feeling of flying cake in India, and is usually eaten with sauce rolled on it, just like the feeling of green onions dipped in big sauce in the northeast.
5. pilaf
this kind of pilaf feels a bit like a hodgepodge, with mutton, onions and lemons and various seasonings, which makes it taste rich.
6. Stewed chicken
Speaking of stewed chicken, many friends have to start spraying it, no matter who doesn't know chicken, which country doesn't. To be honest, the tastes of chicken cooked in different countries are really different. Although they are all stewed the same, first of all, the meat feel of chicken is different, the ingredients and seasonings are different, the processing methods are different, and even the stewed chicken tastes different because of different pots. This Somali stewed chicken is very popular with local people, including tomatoes, potatoes, parsley, ginger and some other ingredients.
7. Pie
This kind of pie looks more like our ordinary pie, but this kind of pie is made of flour and corn flour, and the eating method is very different. They will put this kind of pie with lemon, banana and even bake it.
8. Egg balls
As the name implies, egg balls are spherical snacks, in which an egg is wrapped in mashed potatoes and fried into balls, and sometimes beef balls are made of beef when conditions are better. This kind of food is not only a snack for Somalis, but also a memory of many people's delicious aftertaste. Take a bite and, in Chinese, the whole person will be happy.
9. Somali crystal dessert
This is the first time I've seen it. It's made of corn starch with butter and sugar. It's usually used for entertaining people at weddings. It tastes sweet, but eating too much will ruin your teeth.
1. Traditional fish set meal
This is different from some African countries in that cassava flour is used as the staple food, and rice used in Somalia is stewed with fish, eggplant, tomato and onion, and served with rice, which is very popular among local people.
