Angola and its Cuisine

Angola, officially: República de Angola; Repubilika ya Ngola; Republic of Angola A former Portuguese colony, it has considerable natural resources, among which oil and diamonds are the most significant. The capital and largest city is Lwanda and independence from Portugal was gained on November 11, 1975. Angola was ruled by Portugal and both countries share cultural aspects: language (Portuguese) and main religion (Roman Catholic Christianity). But since most Angolans are blacks, the Angolan culture is mostly native Bantu which was mixed with Portuguese culture.

The Portugese colonized Angola for almost four centuries and their influence on Angloa's cuisine has been subtle but pervasive. The Portuguese brought the European sense of flavouring with spices and techniques of roasting and marinating to the traditional Angolan foods. These influences blended with the local cuisine and produced interesting new recipes. Sea food is a common part of the diet as are cassava, yams and sweet potatoes. The cuisine of Angola can be called a ‘rainbow cuisine’ because it has integrated influences from India, Malaya and Europe.

Much of what we know, historically, about English cookery originates from the grand houses, as only these recipes were written down in recipes. The food of the 'common man' had to rely on oral tradition to be transmitted through the ages. As a result we know far more about the cookery of the grand houses than the cookery of the common man. This all changed in the Victorian ear with the rise of the middle classes and the adoption of recipes, spices and cookery methods from elsewhere in the world.
