Central African Republic
Central African Republic, officually: République Centrafricaine; Ködörösêse tî Bêafrîka; Central African Republic is a landlocked Central African country. Its capital is Bangui and the Central African Republic gained independence from France on August 13th 1960. The nation is divided into over 80 ethnic groups, each having its own language. The largest ethnic groups are the Baya 33%, Banda 27%, Mandjia 13%, Sara 10%, Mboum 7%, M'Baka 4%, and Yakoma 4%, with 2% others, including Europeans. Religiously, about 35% of the population follows indigenous beliefs, 25% is Protestant, 25% is Roman Catholic, and 15% is Muslim. Being isolated the Central African Republic has long been outside the influence of Western cookery, though some important imports from the New World into Africa, such as cassava, peanuts and chillies have become an important part of the diet. Today, Central African cuisine is considered to be quite a unique cuisine, presenting a large variety of exotic dishes. Plantains and cassava provide the most important carbohydrate sources for the diet. Fufu made from fermented cassava root is the most important part of many peoples' diet. Bushmeat and river fish are important ingredients in the diet and these are of ten presented in tomato and/or peanut sauces that are often flavoured with chillies and native greens. Cassava greens are also a very important constituent of the diet. |
