Yeah, I could relate to that HHB. Every time I visited Northern part of Africa, I made sure to stay away from curries and dry rubs because of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspices in them.I just never was big on that kind of spice blend, but with this TD the berbere spice from Ethiopia opened up a new spice world for me. :)

Your hubby did a great job with this entry.

SL who knows, Jack and I may decide to hike and ski some day on that side of USA. ;)
 
Hey LB, remember to make me one of those mugs.


Ok Boss....go ahead and start to verbally berate me for not paying attention to the letters on the mug...I am ready...

it all looks like what the 10% of the rich in africa can afford to cook.

'tain't necessarily so, sic. While it is true that good portions of Africa are dry and difficult to impossible to farm, that's not true for the entire continent. Those still in villages in fertile areas have previously and still farm, often raising chicken, cattle, etc., along with the primary staples of rice and yams. They are not financially "rich" in any sense of the word as we know it, not even when compared to others in Africa, but they DO eat well - better than many of us here - and work quite hard to make it so.

Mmmmm wings with a peanut sauce and braised beef curry that sounds delish. Where in Africa did you get this idea from? Thanks

peanuts are pretty common - West African have a Granpeasoup and Peanut powder kebabs are common- Mozambicans put cashew, coconut and spinach in their famour soup. I like Pepper soup and Palm butter soup from tht coast. Kenkei and Fufu is also good.
