Everything african I've ever seen is just beef tomato stew with some rice and magic bongo seasonings. Do they have any actual recipes?

/his/fag here I study a lot of Mediterranean, South Asian and African history and sometimes I come across interesting things about food. This quote tells about food in the African Dahomey Kingdom.
>The natives are in general very good cooks, and contrive to make a great number of dishes from the same material. Of the animals cooked were bullocks, roasted and boiled, as well as stewed, sheep, goats, venison, and the young elephant, pork both roasted and boiled, fowls, Guinean fowls, Muscovy ducks, and turkeys' and of vegetables, yams, manioc, sweet potato, India corn or maize, with numerous varieties of underground peas, as well as many other sorts above ground. Their food is generally highly seasoned with pepper and palm-oil, which, when fresh, has an excellent flavour, and is very wholesome.

>On a table a perfect regiment of bottles were arranged, and we opened the proceedings by drinking the king's and the prince's health…. A sumptuous repast was then served up, consisting of roast, boiled, grilled, and devilled meats, vegetables, bread, and claret together with limonade gazeuse by way of drinks.
Several baskets of the usual pattern, with calabash covers, branded with the royal hieroglyphics, were then brought in and set on one side for Gézu; the whole assembly praising the king's bountiful hand. We were then called to the front, and a sucking-pig, fried whole, nine fowls, two ducks, and an abundance of stews, hashes, and cankies given to us. (Skertchly 1874:285)
Fowls, roasted and boiled, pigs, pigeons, and goat's flesh, were then brought in, together with yams, sweet potatoes, and roasted plantains.
And then they killed a bunch of Thots and the festivities ended

>The Chiefs rarely eat meat, the people never. They live upon ‘cankey,’ which is made from Indian corn, and mixed with palm oil” (in Burton 1864:366)

Ive never seen a African food restaurant in a majority white neighborhood but I see Chinese, Mexican, Indian restaurants in white neighborhoods all the time. The African or Afro Caribbean restaurants are always relegated to black neighborhoods.

I recently got back from a trip to Uganda where I was a documentarian.

After a couple weeks I couldn't keep eating the copious amounts of goat and meat in stews. My teeth were starting to hurt from the stringiness.

HOWEVER, one thing that I always liked were chapati underneath a nice omelet, and this thing called malakwang. Malakwang is made with a bitter leafy green, a few other things, and peanut butter. It's quite tasty and I would always scoop some for myself when it was available.

I personally think its due to a lack of public interest to have african food. Or an interest that reaches further than just a food trend for white people.

Find your nearest Ethiopian place, get some coffee (ask them to skip the incense) and vegetable injera platter :-)

Enjoy the sensation of being unable to eat more while still being hungry because you have a belly full of oil that doesn't satisfy your hunger for nutrients

I made moimoi and jollof rice to have for lunch today. I cheat, though. I use canned beans that I press through a sieve to remove the skins then I mixed it with the other ingredients + bean flour then steam it. It's easier than traditional and the taste and texture is identical.
