FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Republic of Djibouti is located in the Horn of Africa, with a coastline on the Red Sea. This makes Djibouti a hub of commercial maritime activity and it acts as an essential port. Its population is the smallest of mainland Africa and is majorly comprised of two ethnic groups: the Somali and the Afar people.
Djiboutian cuisine is a mixture of Somali, Afar, Yemeni and French cooking and also incorporate a lot of Middle Eastern spices. We really recommend checking out some of the delicious meat and fish dishes of Djibouti, like Skudahkharis, which is the national dish. However, Mwara is joining Bridget this month in doing VEGANUARY, so we opted for Djiboutian Banana Fritters.
These Banana fritters are a common sweet treat in Djibouti and were very easy, quick and cheap to make. These can come in different forms, from pancake-type to deep fried balls, so have a look online. Either way, they are traditional served dusted with some sugar – YUM!
