Drinks

South Africa’s Western Cape area is known for making a number of finest qualities of wines. Shiraz, chardonnay grapes, and cabernet sauvignon all flourish in Africa. Though a few good vintages exist, growing conditions are not perfect for sweeter Riesling or pinot grapes varieties. Beer is extensively available in Africa and frequently drunk during barbecue celebrations or sports ceremony. One of Africa’s best-recognized beer brands is Castle.

 

Spices

In order to add sparkles to vegetable dishes, African cooking often utilizes numerous spices. Garlic, cloves, peppers, turmeric, nutmeg, and curry powder are all general in African dishes. When sampling African food, be certain to ask what spices go into the food ahead of time. If you have a preference of heavily-spiced foods, order something with a lot of cooked-in spices. In some areas of Africa, it is thought to be rude to add spices to a portion of food after it has been cooked. The addition of extra spices is seen as a major change to the recipe and an offense to the cook.
