Guinea and its Cuisine

Guinea; officially: République de Guinée; Republic of Guinea. Guinea is sometimes called Guinea-Conakry per its capital, to differentiate it from the neighboring Guinea-Bissau (whose capital is Bissau). The country attained independence from France on 2nd October 1958. The main ethnic groups are: Peuhl 40%, Malinke 30%, Soussou 20% with smaller groups making up less than 10% of the population. The country is predominantly muslim (85%) with 8% Christian and 7% following indigenous beliefs. The main languages are Fula; Maninka; Susu; French; Arabic; Wolof; Insula; Kissi with French being the official language.

Like many West African countries Guinean cuisine is based on the use of local fruit and vegetables along with fish. Fufu is the traditional staple and is generally served with soups (stews) made from greens, peanuts, fish and chillies. Guinean cuisine is also well known for using lots of hot chillies and spices in these stews. Typical ingredients include peanuts, rice, sweet potatoes, black-eyed peas and root vegetables.

French ice creams (glaces) are based on an egg custard and taste rich and creamy. Find out more about these frozen desserts and how to prepare them.
