Equatorial Guinea and its Cuisine

Equatorial Guinea, officially: República de Guinea Ecuatorial; République de Guinée Équatoriale; República da Guiné Equatorial; Republic of Equatorial Guinea is one of the smallest countries in continental Africa. Equatorial Guinea is comprised of a mainland territory known as Río Muni (including several offshore islands); the island of Bioko (formerly Fernando Pó), where the capital, Malabo (formerly Santa Isabel) is located; and the island of Annobón in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is Africa's only Spanish speaking country and gained independence from Spain on October 12th 1968. The majority of the people of Equatorial Guinea are of Bantu origin. The largest tribe, the Fang, is indigenous to the mainland, but substantial migration to Bioko Island has resulted in Fang dominance over the earlier Bantu inhabitants. The Fang constitute 80 percent of the population and are themselves divided into 67 clans. The Bubi, who constitute 15 percent of the population, are indigenous to Bioko Island. In addition, there are coastal tribes, sometimes referred to as "Playeros" (Beach People in Spanish): Ndowes, Bujebas, Balengues, (Kombi)s, and Bengas on the mainland and small islands, and "Fernandinos", a Creole community, on Bioko. Together, these groups compose five percent of the population. Spanish and French are the official languages, though the indigenous languages are enshrined in the constitution as: "integral parts of the national culture". Equatorial Guinea is one of the largest oil producing nations in Africa, yet little or none of this oil wealth has trickled down to the local population.

Though the cuisine is, for the most part, native it has been influenced by Arabic, Portugese and Spanish traders, settlers an slavers. Most traditional dishes use fish as a mainstay and boiled plantains and rice are the most important carbohydrate sources. Most sauces are peanut based and, unusually for much of Africa, fresh fruit form an important part of the diet and are served as snacks and appetizers.
