Does the Somali cuisine need improvement?

[Tukraq]

never heard of Somalis eating lobsters and crabs. Only fish.

is fish not seafood? I think even sharks, but defiantly all

It is but I meant there is more to seafood than fish. Do they eat sharks in somalia?

 

[Waaqo of Punt]

Simple, seafood.

Also, we have many camels that produce enough milk. Why don't we make products out of it like yoghurt, cheese, butter, cream and etc?

We can make desserts out of it. Why don't we make our own versions of breads and khubz. It's so easy to invent your own cuisine. We can take food from other cultures and make it into our own with a Somali twist.

We have the longest coast in Africa and access to many trading routes....

and barely any seafood/pescatarian dishes

 

[Nilotufian]

Come up with vegetarian and vegan dishes not everyday red meat

 

[Sol]

Don't know why fish isn't a staple of our diet since we have such a blessed coastline

 

[SilentE1001]

What's a better breakfast then:

Laxoox, muuqmad & cup of tea
(Don't you dare say that's not the correct name)

I'm waiting... (None)

Im sick of halwo iyo biskurt

 

[NotMyL]

How we don’t have more seafood based dishes I will never understand. Also our breakfast lacks, no one wants to have sugaar at 6am, we need more light food besides malawax.

Its always been considered low class in Somali society, thats been changing now.

Bump

@Yusra Luuza

Maybe cambuulo with other veggies. They now add too much oil and sugar which isn’t healthy.

 

[AussieHustler]

Camel milk doesnt produce any cheese

@Libaaxseendheer

Not true, an Australian company makes feta cheese from camel milk.

Imagine bragging about having the longest coastline in Africa and only have a couple fish dishes on the menu.

I like cambulo with milk and sugar

We have enough main dishes, our bariis is the best. We have enough dough based dishes as well, canjeelo, sabayad, muufo. And we have our version of pita bread as well, it much bigger, I forgot its name. Just remembered it, ceesh

What we truly lack is desserts. Macmacaan like xalwo is not a dessert

Honestly, it’s one of the few redeeming qualities. My family makes fantastic Somali food. Unfortunately, it’s too high-carb.
