Burundi, officially: Republika y'u Burundi; République du Burundi; Republic of Burundi is a small country in the Great Lakes region of East Africa. The country gained independence from Belgium on July 1st, 1962 and its capital (and largest city) is Bujumbura. As of mid 2006 Burundi has an estimated population of 8,090,068. Roughly 85% of the population are of Hutu ethnic origin; most of the remaining population are Tutsi, with a minority of Twa (Pygmy), and a few thousand Europeans and South Asians. The largest religion is Roman Catholicism (62%), followed by indigenous beliefs (23%) and a minority of Protestants (5%) and Muslims (10%). The country suffers sporadic attempts at genocide, the worst being in in 1972 where an estimated 250,000 Hutu and moderate Tutsi died. The official languages are Kirundi and French, although Swahili is spoken along the eastern border. Beans are the staple of Burundian cuisine and the typical carbohydrate sources are beans, plantains, bananas and corn. Like many East African cuisines there is a strong Asian influence on Burundian cookery, including the use of hot spices and the prevalence of Chapatis at meals. |

Much of what we know, historically, about English cookery originates from the grand houses, as only these recipes were written down in recipes. The food of the 'common man' had to rely on oral tradition to be transmitted through the ages. As a result we know far more about the cookery of the grand houses than the cookery of the common man. This all changed in the Victorian ear with the rise of the middle classes and the adoption of recipes, spices and cookery methods from elsewhere in the world.
