The Republic of the Congo (French: République du Congo; Kongo: Repubilika ya Kongo; Lingala: Republiki ya Kongó), also known as Congo-Brazzaville (locally, "Congo-Brazza") or the Congo is a former French colony whose capital and largest city is Brazzaville. The Republic of the Congo gained its independence from France on August 15th 1960. A quarter century of Marxism was abandoned in 1990 and a democratically elected government installed in 1992. A brief civil war in 1997 restored former Marxist President Denis Sassou Nguesso. The main ethnic groups are: Kongo 48%, Sangha 20%, M'Bochi 12%, Teke 17%, Europeans and other 3%. Various languages are spoken, of which the most important are: French (official), Lingala and Monokutuba (lingua franca trade languages), many local languages and dialects (of which Kikongo is the most widespread). In terms of beliefs, 50% of the population are Christian, 48% follow traditonal animist beliefs and 2% are Muslim. The relatively sparse population of The Republic of Congo share many of their recipes and cooking methods with their neighbours the Democratic Republic of Congo and both cuisines can be grouped together as 'Congolese Cooknig'. The recipes below represent shared cuisines from both countries. The Congo region of Africa has been argely free of culinary influences of the outsider world, until the 19th century, with the exception of the widespread adoption of cassava, Peanut and chilli pepper plants which arrived along with the slave trade during the early 1500s. Traditional Congolese foods use a combination of locally available fruit, grains and vegetables, milk and meat products. Freshwater fish and bushmeat also form an important part of the diet as does palm oil and peanut butter. |
