Angola
Angola, officially: Rep�blica 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. |
