A first time safari in Tanzania is anexciting adventure. For many travelingto an exotic climate may involve culinary delights, however, to findinformation on Tanzanian food is a challenge. Is it possible for tourists to eat and enjoy the local food? As, letsface it eat local dishes Tanzanian is not famed for its cuisine. Having said this the coastal regions and Zanzibar has over thecenturies had a distinctive Indian influence and some of the local dishes areworth trying and bellow is a small example of what to look for when orderinglocal foods either in your hotel or restaurants. Kuku Wakupaka: This is pan fired chicken cooked incoconut milk and local spices literally translated painted/coatedchicken. This dish is popular along thecoast and on Zanzibar. Delicious it is too. Samakiwakupake is the fish version of the same dish. Mtori: Banana Soup: Often eaten at breakfast in Northern Tanzania. It is a soup made from green bananas and beef short rib; and traditionally cooked over an open fire in a clay potcalled a chungu. Katchubari: sometimes this is served as a chilihot tomato sauce but for me it is a side salad of slices onions, cucumber,tomato, and hot bell pepper. Samaki Chapatti: the Tanzanian chapatti is knownto rest of the world as a roti: Great with spiced coffee or tea for breakfast Kunduchi Samaki Chapatt this dish is onlyfound north of Dar es Salaam,is a wonderfully flaky chapatti that is stuffed with tuna that has been lightlyand magically spiced with local garlic and ginger. Pure heaven! Marahagwe: dried beans [of which there is abewildering variety] boiled in a tomato sauce and a sprinkling of peanut flour, this dish iscommon and not normally a appetizing color, but tastes good. Matoki: green unripe bananas. There are manyvarieties of bananas; in fact just outside of Arusha town there is a cultural walk thatpasses over thirty varieties of banana! The Matoki comes originally from Uganda, servedwhole or more traditionally mashed with peanut.Ugali: Maze flour cooked with water into a stiffporridge. This is a staple diet for many Tanzanian's. A great meal if eatenwith local spinach. As it is eaten with your right hand, make a ball of Ugaliand push your thumb into the center of the ball to form a 'spoon' with whichyou can scoop up your food. Chai Tangaweizi: This drink is made by boilingmilk, tea leaves and spiced with a variation of the following spiaces ginger,black cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper and of course Zanzibar cloves. Usually servedsweet. Chai rangi or black tea is greatin the hot afternoons when infused with local spices, black pepper or lemongrass.Mchicha: this is a local spinach. There mayvariants of local spinach. They varyfrom the very bitter to sublimely sweet. Mchicha is probably the most popularspinach and has small oval leaves and thin stems very good with Ugali. Mchicha is also used to let someone know theyare especially well turned out - use this expression sparingly! Sorpotel: A dish made in Zanzibar. It has quite a kick as you would expect being made on the Spice Islands. This dishtastes wonderful even if the ingredients are not so fashionable they includebeef tongue, Liver and pork with spices and chilies and onion. It melts in the mouth. Most hotels are now serving a selection of westernand traditional Tanzanian dishes. However, if you find yourself on the coast orin Zanzibar -speak to the local people and see where they recommend. Tourist Information offices are not much helpin Dar es Salaam. However, the Old Fort, Stone Town Zanzibarand Boma Street Arusha are the best tourist information office ever. Enjoy!
