Mali; officially: République du Mali; Republic of Mali is the other land-locked country in West Africa (along with Burkina-Faso, above).

Mali has long been a part of the Arabic trade in spices and precious metals. As such this country has a rich and diverse cuisine. Malinese cuisine is generally based on corn, millet, and rice porridges which can be served with a wide variety of sauces.
