It seems you don't like seeing any criticism directed at the north but that wasn't my intention. I'm just talking about what I've heard from people who have been to both north and south. I guess some people take things too seriously.The urbanities of the South do not represent most of the South who have not deviated much from their nomadic eating habits. And if we're keeping it 100. My father worked as an Engineer in Southern Somalia working on projects in the 70s. They were barely eating fish at the time. Requesting farms to be built along the coastline. Even the ajnaabi Engineers were wondering how misguided/clueless these people were when they could fish. FYI their cuisine wasn't as dexterous or as memorable as you are portraying it to be but keep believing that. The Cadcads (which are the ones doing the laborious cooking) can mostly make pastries. Do you think pastries and baasto are an amazing feat/contribution to the Somali diet? They are not.
