I don’t believe in anything that inferior called ibn butt-uta wrote, seriously.Interesting point the Jamaicans scholar says a lot of the foods described in muqdisho by ibn Batuta are similar to Jamaican foods.
Eastern Bantu food practices entered the Swahili and coastal cultures, the influence in Jamaica possibly Congolese Bantus or perhaps Niger Congo farmers.
It's ironic now that Lamu is being developed back into a major trading port.
