is there a Somali food ?

[Enemy_Of_Mad_Mullah]

I don't think there are a lot of unique Somali foods but the way that they make it is unique. The way hilib, bariis, suqaar, etc. is made definitely has its own feel, and definitely the bannana.

Muufo is delicious and very authentic. But I hate it for it reminds me of my Darood relatives. ( I understand muufo originated from kismayo?)

The lamagoodle use to live off the milk and meat of farm animals i.e cad iyo caano. Any other type of food we know comes from outside sources.

Sorry saxiib, my relatives all grew cambuulo and masagow while raising goats, camels, cows and sheep.

Garaad,

We have been eating the blessed bean for eons. There are two factions: the settlers and the nomads. The settlers were involved in farming the coastal plains and merchant trade. The nomads eked out a living in the wilds only to come running to the coast during the dry season and to trade. Masago is sorghum and is quite tasty and plenty of fibers. In the oasis of Xeerodhagaxley, we also have palm trees, grow watermelons, citrus fruits like grapefruit, onions, tomatoes.

I hope to help build them a windpower generator to pump their water, introduce drip irrigation, crop rotation, introduce natural pest control, composting, natural fertilizers.

about the factions, i know a lot of tolka are settlers but how long they been farmers , roughly ? i know hawiye like isaaq and darood are nomads even if some of them settle to farm , Odaygii Hawiye (AHN) muusan bari ku aasnayn horta

hopefully somalis will abandoned this cursed way of life , the Shabelle and Juba regions are more then enough for all of us
So lamagoodles let's make love and babies and eat canbuulo iyo ugaali

Garaad,

Its been a long time. My three awowes have been sedentary farmers, and traders. So its perhaps a generational thing.

You are right. There is plenty of arable land, good water resources that can sustain a population of over 23 million. Not only the Shabbele and Jubba rivers but also the numerous underground coastal rivers like the one in Eyl, and the numerous coastal plains which have plenty of underground aquifers. Mudug alone can produce enough food for its own needs and doesn't need to rely on other parts. What is lacking most is peace, farming equipment, technology and agricultural input.

I salivate at the potential forestry projects in the mountains of Sanaag. We can have entire tree farms of pine trees, coffee plantations, khat plantations to sustain our addicts, etc.

We didn't "steal" our food from anyone... we all just happen to make similar stuff. There's only a few things that can be cooked in this world, vegetable, meat, and seasonings... come on, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to put some things together. Its crazy because somali restaurants are quite famous for their "individuality"... There's gotta be something in our ingredients that gives it the oomph.


Habeshas made Injera but we spun it around and called canjeero with a complete different taste. Same as Sambuus, we have our own way to make it. Everyone makes chicken and beef cubes(suqaar).... Mandazi is made by Africa LOL, Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Somalia, God knows where else, etc... We make our own maraq, does that mean we took the "soup" idea?

[SelfD]

Turns out we aren't the only ones that makes malawax..me thinks we may have stolen that too
