Wuzyurdaddy: 10 is the number, before I start I'd love to start for the purpose of clarity that I'm no longer in Sudan or its environs. This is just a memoir.. I couldn't cope with the weather which was always sunny and above 35 degrees even in the evening. Let's begin.. 1 Like |

On arrival at Khartoum International Airport, Sudan I was greeted by my Nigerian mates residing there and the first thing I said to 'KC' was 'guy abeg I dey H', any naija restaurant around here'. He laughed and said 'O boy not even one oh' deep down I was like WTF? How will I survive these months here. I just shrugged it off and said to myself that their food can't be that bad. If only I knew how wrong I was. On getting to the hotel I had a very long shower due to the fact that everywhere in Sudan has this funny windy and at the same time very sunny weather...... 2 Likes |

After the shower I went to their quarters to mingle and get acquainted with the Naija dudes living in Sudan. Along the line I brought up the food issue again and 'Mike' was like 'na tru oh, make we go stroll first '. Just down the road from the hotel we came across this BBQ spot but it was nothing like our own here. I had to pass kuz* the meats were looking very strange and I had this phobia for eating strange meats. So we came across this sweet smelling Bread shop. They call the bread Kisra, overtime it has become the main dish in central Sudan. It's the main staple of the Sudanese people. Kisra is basically a type of bread, that is made from corn. It is accompanied with a stew. The stew is prepared from dried meat, dried onions, spices, and peanut butter. Milk and yogurt are also added for flavor... Here's the funny thing about this bread, once you open it from the pack you have to finish it because it gets very strong after some minutes /hours and unconsumable. 6 Likes

IamR: Much appreciated @IamR, now let's get back to it. After consuming some slices of Kisra with a bottle of Sprite, I had me a long sleep because even God rested when his creations were made... The next day I woke up very hungry and early too, I didn't want to disturb my mates in the next room so I decided to follow the path we took for the stroll the previous day. It took me a long time to come across this shop/restaurant kuz* most of the shops didn't display their wares like we do here. You have to enter the shop to know what they are selling, so I smelt meat at this very shop and decided to check it out. Behold I was wowed with this dish of Umfitit, It's an appetizer that is served in Sudan. The main ingredients of Umfitit are sheep lungs, liver and stomach. Apart from sheep lungs, liver and stomach, peanut butter, onion, and salt are also added all to be eaten raw. Peanuts play a crucial role in the Sudanese kitchen, they are a must ingredient for any Sudanese food. They are responsible for providing taste, texture, and flavor to the dish. Brethren that was how I ended up eating raw onions, basil leave and what not..hunger bad I tell you but man must wack* 7 Likes

felixjet: I have this very strong system that accepts any type of food but after I had Umfitit, mehn na so* toilet begin dey call my name. My advice to you out there is this, when you're not sure of the food you have before you, always eat in small portions/amount. I learn the hard way On my way back to the hotel I came across this figs and dates shop. Back in Naija I wasn't big on dates but in Sudan it was a big deal. They said it gave them energy for Sex, that is it's a Sex enhancing fruit. I was intrigued, so I bought a much as I could get for myself and the squad. We later found out that it not only was a Sex enhancement fruit it also gave us energy. Till this day brethren, I can say that I'm a big fan of dates that I used to hate. 5 Likes

If ever you're in Sudan, I'll recommend this dish of Semolina or rather Sweetened semolina aka kuindiong. It's a traditional dessert prepared by a particular tribe in South Sudan and Sudan alike. The main ingredients I gathered of kuindiong are yogurt, milk, semolina, sugar, and butter. Trust me, it taster better than it looks. I was hooked on to this meal for weeks before I switched on to the next one. At this juncture, I'll add this, please always travel with Ijebu Garri and G/nut for the sunny days 8 Likes

MariaAngeles: Coming from you ma'am I'm humbled, your updates in the other room gets me drinking water out of long throat, now let's get back to it. There was a day I wasn't with enough cash, I summoned courage and reached out to Umar, the hotel cook. He reacted much more than I expected with kindness rather than rebuke, he just told me to wait for some minutes that the kitchen was full with people. That was how I waited and waited and waited only to be awoken with a knock on my door. I opened there stood Umar smiling with a bundle in his hands, I asked him what the strange dish he had was. He said that it was Moukhbaza or something like that, that it's made up of banana paste or mashed bananas. Milk and dairy products are an essential part of the food, brethren I must say thjs, never judge a meal by its appearance. I had myself a good one with this dish, even though that night my toilet experience was one kain* but hey I enjoyed Mouhkbaza 7 Likes

Wuzyurdaddy:I actually like the look of umfitit It looks like a Togolese and Benin republic cuisine...they accompany their dishes with lots of fresh onions, tomatoes with pepper |

From all you have posted, I think its the Kisra I can try willingly. I'm not adventurous with food especially funny looking ones. Enjoying the thread and learning at the same time |

It does matter. Posting food photos from different Google websites shows lack of credibility. He should post actual photos of these foods from this so-called journey in Sudan, that is, if he's not making up the story MariaAngeles: 2 Likes |

The photos I took of each meal aren't on this my current phone so I decided to improvise via it he Web. And I appreciate the fact that y'all took time out to do research on the meals aforementioned. I appreciate you all, now let's get back to it. There was this Sunday during Ramadan, we were just hanging out at the rooftop. This was towards evening or so, when they were about to break their fast. You needed to see the level of organisation in making sure they all ate together, we were wowed and decided to go have a stroll around the hood. After many requests to come and join them break fast, we came upon this mosque. I will say it's the extreme neatness of these lots that made us finally succumb to their requests. So myself, 'KC and Mike' sat down on the mats already laid out outside the mosque. We were given water to wash our hands kuz* they rarely use cutleries to eat, that was how we came across this next dish of Aseedah. Aseedah is the Sudanese version of polenta and is usually served with tasty tomato sauce called mullah or so. This is a form of porridge, which is served on all special occasions in Sudanese households. It is nutritious and filling because it is prepared from flour and water. It is prepared and served during. the month of Ramadan according to the locals, wedding celebrations, Fridays, and other religious holidays. PS: @mariangeles thanks for being a good sport. <3 <3 6 Likes 1 Share
