what is the nomadic Somali diet

[SanDheer_Landheer]

I've been trying to change my diet to replicate what our ancestors ate which makes intuitive sense. So far I've only come up with camel meat and other livestock , camel milk and the odd grains like sorghum etc. It seems similar to the carnivore diet with some regional tweaking but I think there has to be more to it. Any camel produce is ridiculously expensive though so an alternative is needed.

Hilib and walking for a long time. Our ancestors had longer lifespans than the queens and kings of europe. Even today, its not odd to find 100 year old somali men

Subag,cad,caano.

 

[Dalmoor]

I think it's Caano geel/lo'o, hilib/livestocks's meat, soor/ kinda like maize flour..

Breakfast; Canjeero/laxoox with otkac/muqmad with any shaah

Lunch; This is kinda modern somali food, so it's either baasto with sauce or bariis with suugo or any other

Casaryo/Asr; shaah cadeys, could be milk direct from animals or the ones in the shop... We prefer caano xooleyd as geeljires

Supper; this depends on different somali region.. Let's say the Koonfur; they eat cambuulo as supper

Waqooyi, it depends some eat bariis just like the afternoon while some snacks and juices.. but then everyone isn't eating the same

NfD; supper is like Ugali/soor or bariis iyo cambuulo just like the koonfur or baasto and bariis.

Let's me something about our forefathers; I heard times like casr/evening, they use to do gabeey/amaan= complimenting our somali ethnicity, while drinking their shaah... I don't wanna say something about this generation..

 

[Dalmoor]

As for exercise, Geeljire used to run in their spare time.. They also used to do something called lagdi,=it's kinda wrestling, but not punching each other or hurting

Herding livestocks for long hours till habeen/night is another work= they used to drink Camel milk, which gave em the energy

Watering livestocks singlehandedly at night or evening/Asr

Jumping challenges
Climbing trees
Training with arrows..

A geeljire never feared of attacks from deadly wild animal roaming around baadiyo.. I think it depends tho..

For me, I have encountered many adeers of mine being attacked by lions& hyenas, but they saved themselves from the wild animals. I saw the evidence too, (Scars of biting and so on)

Again this generation, I don't wanna say something about them

No. Laxoox iyo canjeero wa iisku mid. Same thing. Malawax u add 3 eggs milk sugar and little bit of salt
