Mark wein feasting on tanzanian food

[GeKo]

The Zwahili sabaayad or what they call Chapati is slightly softer than the Somali Sabaayad . Some of the Southerner Somalis do make the Softer version . There are also variants of Sabaayad across all of North/ Eastern Africa . It’s not an Indian invention .

Egyptian Fatiir

Some of my half -Yemeni relatives eat sabaayad with chopped up moos and tea

Swahili adopted biriyani, pilau, and chapati from the indian traders.

I have tasted their “ chapati “. It’s a halfway between Somali Sabaayad and Indian Paratha .

Indian food is very influential . They influenced the Jamaican cuisine too .

It's sweet,moist and soft enough to be eaten by itself or with shaax. Its nice.

Are you saying, indian cuisine hasn't influenced us as well. We were mostly nomads with goats and camels and we traded with the world, most of our food is from somewhere else but with our own taste.

Magufuli is good at fighting corruption but he's a bit extreme at times. Does he stop ppl who want to do business as well? Does he not understand investments would create jobs? Thats crazy lmao

I heard this mentality that all foreigners are parasites, runs deep there. Why are the bantus in TZ so communist while in Kenya they're more progressive capitalists.

Magufuli's corruption tackling is very selective at times. All the corrupt officials who stuck with him were pardoned, like my Somali friends dad I mentioned. Kikwete, Mkapa and all previous CCM heads and members will not be touched as well unfortunately. Nonetheless, he has done an extremely good job at controlling the natural resources for our benefit, and exposing foreign exploitation. There was huge gold mining scandal a while back.

He is extremely hard on fellow Africans because the perception is that a Tanzanian could be doing that job. Quite a number of Kenyan teachers, nurses, traders, students and store owners have been expelled. Some working Rwandans also get a lot of crap and harassment from authorities, even though they were born here (Tutsi groups are even as far out as Congo, I was surprised). However he is very lenient on the Chinese as long as they operate business honestly. I think it is because the Asians usually stick to tech sectors and large scale engineering projects, while training locals. A while back they were engaged in many illegal activities like ivory trade. Those guys got trialed and deported, people even protested outside the PRC embassy.

The main reason I would say is the history of Socialism here. Nyerere did many good things, but destroyed the nation with a collectivist mentality. I still think that the Arusha Declaration and principles of Ujamaa have a lot of good aspects. Disregarding the socialist context they were defined under.

@South Cushitic do you speak Somali?

No, but I do have a teach yourself Somali book, and a dictionary of most frequently used 2000 nouns and 1200 verbs on my kindle (non of which have been opened yet though, haha). Any Somali words I use are picked up from my bro's family or you guys.

So basically just bastardised Indian food?

Is there a traditional East African cuisine that isn't just bastardised Arab/South Asian food?

Dude you watch this guy too?

I thought I was the only Somali who watches him.

I wonder if his gonna kill himself too since Tony Bourdain killed himself.

This guy has a young family. He has a lot to live for.

If you have no connection to these CCM members, do not even try coming to establish an enterprise. Magufuli has made it extremely difficult for anyone seeking business opportunities who is not of Tanzanian origin. 'Timua Wageni' is the new slogan, 'kick out the visitors'.

I am baffled that the Somalis managed to escape the mass corruption purges. I think it is because they stuck with the party, unlike a few other members who fled to CHADEMA (the principal opposition party during elections at the time) and got locked up after.

Is Bashane in the ruling party?

Is Bashane in the ruling party?

You talking about Ahmed Bashane or Hussein Bashe?
