Local food (especially for Agne)
How should we describe the Zanzibarian cuisine? We’d say it’s a mixture of Arabic, Indian and British food. From spicy curry-courses (chicken, fish or meat), potatoes (chicken, meat or fish) in coconut sauce, different types of flatbread (chapati), great seafood and so much more! And we are trying it all (especially Jurgita).
Kingfish wrapped in banana leaf
Chapati (flat bread) with raita
Mbatata za nazi (potatoes in coconut-sauce cooked with chicken)
For lunch it’s popular to have different types of fried food, like samosa (fried bread filled with meat or vegetables), meatballs (fried of course), fried potato-ball with spices and egg, fried spring roll with fish or vegetables. And of course sweet rice-pancake which is one of our favorites. In other words, it’s high-carbo food.
Rice, papayasalad, goat and vegetable currys
Lunch at the hospital. (Pancake, samosa and other local dishes)
Pancakes filled with egg and spinach. Plus coffee with spice.
We like local food, but sometimes we do have pizza too. Its Ok, isn’t it? Other times we go completely crazy having hamburger with fries!
No comments…!
At home we make a lot of salads, soups, pasta with fresh pesto, minced meet, chicken and mashed potatoes, fruit salads, etc.
And at nights we dream about taco, brown cheese, Norwegian white cheese, pizza Grandiosa and smoked lamb ribs…
Bon appetite!
