Our Cambodian meal was Chicken and Pickled Lime Soup, Pineapple Rice, Grilled Corn with Coconut Milk and Nom Plae Ai. The soup was really good. It was salty from the limes that we pickled in salt water for a week. We plan to make it again. We made pineapple rice […]
Our Burundi meal was delicious! “Fish with Tomatoes and Red Palm Oil”, “Red Kidney Beans with Plantains”, “Date and Banana Mix”, and Banana Beer. I hated red kidney beans; haven’t had them in years. It was the texture. I decided it was time to try them again and they were […]
Our Burkina Faso meal was Ragout D’Igname (traditional Burkinabé Yam Stew), Burkinabé Tô and Banfora (fried pastry with pineapple). We drank Bissap a la Bonne Dame (hibiscus tea with pineapple).
