There’s a lot to learn from a group of people by the way they put together their meals and drinks. The ingredients, cooking methods and energy they apply into feeding themselves extend beyond nourishment, with their culinary skills reflecting different beliefs, traditions and habits. It is no secret that experiencing and experimenting with local traditional foods and drinks of Ambazonia provides an education of the culture, too.
