Rwanda and its Cuisine

Rwanda, officially: Repubulika y'u Rwanda; République du Rwanda; Republic of Rwanda is a small landlocked country in the Great Lakes region of east-central Africa. Its capital and largest city is Kigali and it attained independence from Belgium on July 1st 1962. Most Rwandans speak Kinyarwanda and the nation is roughly 84% Hutu, 15% Tutsi, and 1% Twa, with smaller minorities of South Asians, Arabs, French, British, and Belgians. The nation is some 56.5% Roman Catholic, 26% Protestant, 11.1% Adventist, and 4.6% Muslim, original beliefs 0.1%.

Rwandan food tends to be simple, made with locally-grown ingredients. Typical staples include sweet potatoes, beans, corn, peas, millet and fruit. Porridge is the traditional breakfast and meat is seldom eaten outside the cities due to its expense. Though stews are often flavoured with dried fish and meat, as is common in much of Africa. Flaked and dried fish is sometimes cooked with Chicken, yam, onions, various spices and water to prepare a flavored stew.
