We have a rich diet within our country. However our nutrition, like our cultures in general, are critically merging into foreign cultures. :( In rural areas, we still eat lot of foods which come from our ground. At the opposite, check out our great restaurants in urban areas, our local dishes are not very popular. We even <strong>fear</strong> to eat some dishes like 'ndole' because you don't trust those who cook it. And the truth is that <strong>you are right when not trusting them!</strong> :mrgreen: We should value our own dishes and food. It's a fact that they are not well suited for the eyes (let's a newbie compare a dish of eru and a dish of 'couscous algerien' and wait for his answer) but they are good when you give a try...
