Popular Somali restaurant in London has some people pressed

[Nilotic]

that fufu thing, I was on FaceTime with my Algerian friend and was confused why she was eating fufu kulaha we call it aseed

You call it aseed? It's aseeda to me

 

[killerxsmoke]

Not a single piece of saladh on that plate. How can people eat this without saladh?

Salad makes it worse

 

[Qeelbax]

You call it aseed? It's aseeda to me

Arabs call it aseed, I've only seen somali Kenyans eat it and its called ugali to them

When a yemeni sees meat that slides down softly with rice, they automatically thinks its yemeni food

That's unfortunate, mate; I love seafood, especially fish and prawns.

You are a culinary disappointment

Rice is the greatest

Rice is my go-to carbohydrate; I use it for fuel and I have no fear of ever becoming fat, because, well, it's impossible

I'm eating a shawarma plate right now and the rice is going straight to the trash. What a terrible thing to put in your calool. Maybe Dinkas can control the amount of rice they eat but not Somalis. 90% of the food on their plate is rice or pasta. It's a mountain on their plate. It explains their obesity crisis and high rates of diabetes.

Take a Somali restaurant's menu to Somalia and almost all dishes will be foreign to them. Somalis do not even know what alffreedo is but it's a very popular sauce put on linguine (something else they don't know) in Somali restaurants. So many flavours on the meat that is more a fusion of western and Indian. It's great food but not Somali. Even beef sambusa is alien. Somalis dont eat beef. It's even worse in Europe. They put tuna in their sambusa. Not only is that totally unheard of in Somalia but disgusting. I warn everyone not to buy sambusa from a Somali restaurant if you're in Europe. That would be the worst betrayal ever. Luckily I had it at someones house, also a betrayal.

UK Somalis have Al Kahf and US Somalis have Kaah


why are these Yemenis pressed in the comments?


That food though, my mouth is watering.


I know where to go if I'm ever on that depressed island

These 5'1 langaab Arabs really put a patent on rice & meat fucking hell lol. Acting like rice originated from Yemen either

Aseed and ugali are different. In somalia we call ugali "soor"

 

[Danakiil]

The comments were very much tame, even by the Yemenis that commented. I didn't see any name callings or insults. The absolute majority of the comments were just about the food looking amazing and asking which restaurant this was.

On another note, i'm tired of these bootlicking Somalis that perpetuate the banana stereotype. Literally all the comments are about where the banana is, not even talking about the food/restaurant in the video.

Sure, many of us eat with it (and it's indeed delicious) but many of us don't either. They act like that is an universal Somali experience. Very much a caricature that they love pushing for it so much, now all these non Somalis (both in the comments and just overall) are saying the same stuff (many who have never seen and eaten Somali food).

Why are you getting offended by a banana joke ma ciyaal baa tahay

 

[Danakiil]

I live in coastal town all we eat is seafood only reer waqooyi and interior people frown on this

Fish is eaten in Berbera too. The retard geeljire taboo is slowly dying

Why order a plate if you don't like rice when you could have gotten a sandwich? Even better you could have gotten a shawarma poutine

Thats even worse than rice.

Interesting. I never been. I hate going downtown and when I did go downtown, I avoided that intersection due to the zombies. I'll check it out.

This is how we used to eat in muqdisho

"The food of these people is rice cooked with butter, served on a large wooden dish. With it they serve side-dishes, stews of chicken, meat, fish, and vegetables. They cook unripe bananas in fresh milk, and serve them as a sauce. They put curdled milk in another vessel with peppercorns, vinegar, and saffron, green ginger and mangoes, which look like apples but have a nut inside. Ripe mangoes are very sweet and are eaten like fruit; but unripe mangoes are as acid as lemons, and are cooked in vinegar. When the Mogadishu people have taken a mouthful of rice, they take some of these pickles. One of them eats as much as several of us: they are very fat and corpulent."

Idk what's with the obsession with fish here; it's not even that good. Any type of meat is superior, let alone hilib ari or hilib geel. I can see why Geeljire looked down on it. I dislike tuna myself.
