Seychelles, officially: Repiblik Sesel; République des Seychelles; Republic of Seychelles is an archipelago nation of 155 islands (115 islands and 40 islets) in the Indian Ocean, some 1,500 km east of mainland Africa, northeast of the island of Madagascar. The capital and largest city is Victoria and independence from Britain was gained on June 29th 1976. Some 90 percent of the population was Roman Catholic as of 1992. The initial white settlers in Seychelles were Roman Catholics, and the country has remained so, despite ineffective British efforts to establish Protestantism in the islands during the nineteenth century. Approximately 7 percent of Seychellois are Anglicans--most coming from families converted by missionaries in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Some 2 percent of the population are adherents of other faiths, including Hinduism, Baha'i and Islam. Official languages are English, French and Seychellois Creole. Seychelles has the smallest population of any sovereign state of Africa. The Seychelles are almost unique amongst African countries for using breadfruit in their cuisine. With their position in the Indian Ocean Seychellois recipes have been influenced by Indian, Chinese, African, French and British cuisine. Seychellois specialities include coconut curries, kat-kat banane, chatini requin, soupe de tectec, bourgeois grille, bouillon brede, chauve-souris or fruitbat, cari bernique and salade de palmiste that consists of coconut palm. Daube (made from breadfruit, bananas or plantains, yams and cassava) is a staple of Seychellois cooking. The use of fish and shellfish is common, but all forms of meat are also employed. Tamarind, lemongrass, ginger and coriander are also important components of this cuisine. Curry is also an important dish and is generally accompanied by rice, though it may also be accompanied by fresh vegetables. |
