São Tomé and Príncipe and its Cuisine

São Tomé and Príncipe, oficially: República Democrática de São Tomé e Príncipe; Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe is an island nation in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western equatorial coast of Africa. It consists of two islands: São Tomé and Príncipe, located about 140 kilometres apart and about 250 and 225 kilometres respectively, off of the northwestern coast of Gabon. The capital and largest city is São Tomé and the islands gained their independence from Portugal on July 12>sup>th 1975. São Tomé and Príncipe is the second smallest (in terms of population) African country (larger only than Seychelles). It is the smallest country in the world that is not a former UK dependency, a former US trusteeship, or a European microstate. It is also the smallest Portuguese-speaking country. All of the island's populatoin represent various ethnic groups that have migrated tothe islands since they were discovered by the Portugese in 1485. The seven identifiable groups are: Mestiços, or mixed-blood, descendants of Portuguese colonists and African slaves brought to the islands during the early years of settlement from Benin, Gabon, and Congo (these people also are known as filhos da terra or "sons of the land"); Angolares, reputedly descendants of Angolan slaves who survived a 1540 shipwreck and now earn their livelihood fishing; Forros, descendants of freed slaves when slavery was abolished; Serviçais, contract laborers from Angola, Mozambique, and Cape Verde, living temporarily on the islands; Tongas, children of serviçais born on the islands; Europeans, primarily Portuguese and Asians, mostly Chinese minority, including Macanese people of mixed Portuguese and Chinese blood from Macau. São Tomé and Príncipe has four national languages: Portuguese (the official language, spoken by 95% of the population), and the Portuguese-based creoles Forro (85%), Angolar (3%) and Principense (0.1%). French is also learned in schools, as the country is a member of Francophonie.

The population of São Tome and Principe is vary varied, reflecting the diverse populations of these islands. The foundation of the cuisine, however, is hot spices though local Sao Tomese cuisine is famous for its fresh fish and seafood, and tropical fruits like bananas, pineapple, or avocado. Maize forms the country's staple.
