Togo and its Cuisine

Togo; officially: République Togolaise; whose capital is Lomé. The Togolese Republic achieved independence from France on April 27th, 1960. Togo's culture reflects the influences of its thirty-seven ethnic groups, the largest and most influential of which are the Ewe, Mina, and Kabre. Though French is the official language, the many indigenous African languages spoken by Togolese include: Gbe languages such as Ewe, Mina, and Aja; Kabiyé; and others. Over half the Togolese people adhere to native, animist, belief systems despite the influences of Islam and Christianity.

Despite having been a German colony and then split between France and England much of Togloese cuisine is a native one. Staples include maize, cassava, yam, rice, plantains, beans and millet. The most widely eaten food is maize, while rice consumption is quite low. Like many West African countries fish is the most important source of protein, though bush meat is often hunted and consumed. Fufu ranks amongst the country's staples. Togolese cuisine is a combination of African and French culinary styles, combining rice’s, sauces, fish, meat and vegetables in order to serve traditional dishes, like koklo meme, grilled Chicken with a spicy chili sauce, pâté, made from millet, plantains, corn or manioc, riz sauce d’arachide, simply rice with Peanut sauce, and other sauces based on Eggplant, tomato, fish or spinach. Generally Togolese cuisine is rich in sauces and pates and is often spiced with chillies.
