Pounded Yam and Egusi
This is a Nigerian delicacy that mainly comprises pounded yam
(as the name already implies) and vegetable leaf soup thickened with ground

soup can also be eaten with other dishes like amala and eba (dried grated
cassava flour mixed with hot water and stirred into a firm dough).
Braai/Shisa Nyama
This is a very popular meal
in South Africa and is largely considered a part of the South African eating
experience. This meal largely consists of barbecued meat and is usually

barbecued meat usually comprises of beef, chicken, pork, lamb or sausages.
Alloco
This meal is largely
associated with the Ivorians. It's a fried plantain snack that's often served
with chilli pepper and onions, or egg and tomato sauce. It's quite easy to
prepare and is popular for its unique taste. The meal is widely served as a
fast-food that's readily available on the streets of Cote d'Ivoire, and food
vendors that are known for 'alloco' commonly go by the name, 'allocodromo'.
Piri Piri Chicken
This is a spicy Mozambique
dish with a rich blend of African, Portuguese, Oriental and Arab flavours. It's
believed to have been created in Angola and Mozambique when Portuguese settlers
arrived with 'chile' pepper. It is generally known as 'grilled chicken piri
piri' by tourists, and is commonly served with 'matapa', a dish of cassava
leaves cooked in peanut sauce.
