Middle Africa
user ratingMiddle Africa is the heart of the African continent and traditional food is the heart of the region’s cuisine. Because the central countries are landlocked and less subject to external influences, the food is quintessentially African. Whether eating in Cameroon or the Democratic Republic of Congo, starches will undoubtedly find their way into the meal. Cassava, plantains and yams are staples, usually pounded into a paste and served with sauces, soups and stews. Peanuts are also common ingredients used throughout Middle Africa, especially when preparing sauces and desserts.—Alexandra Menglide
