Mayotte and its Cuisine

Mayotte (French: Mayotte, Shimaore: Maore), officially: Collectivité départementale de Mayotte; the Departmental Collectivity of Mayotte is an overseas collectivity of France consisting of a main island, Grande-Terre (or Mahoré), a smaller island, Petite-Terre (or Pamanzi), and several islets around these two. The capital and largest city is Mamoudzou and in 1974 the country voted to remain a territory of France. French is the official language but native languages include: Shimaore (a Comorian LAnguage), Kibushi (a Malagasy language), Kiantalaotsi (another Malagasy language) and Arabic.

Though a French territory, the cuisine of Mayotte has been influenced by Indian, Arabic, French, and African cuisines. The cuisine also makes great use of spices such as coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. In Mayotte the basic meals are those containing meat and rice, but a lot of seafood is also cooked in this island. Exotic dishes consist of freshly caught fish, crab and calamari, which can be prepared together or separately. A typical meal will always include different combinations based on meat and rice, enhanced with vanilla, cloves, cardamom, coriander, nutmeg and cinnamon. Common seafood include grouper, tuna and octopus. Bean and squash soups are also common staples.
