When you take a vacation to Africa, you may travel to Tanzania because you want to sit on the Indian coast of Tanzania every day. The sunshine on the coast is beautiful, and the people in every village are friendly. You must plan your culinary tour of Tanzania with a bit of care because there is so much food to enjoy. Consider each delicacy as part of your culinary tour, and remember that you can go anywhere you want to try out new food.
The Bantu People
In Tanzania, about 95% of the population is descended from the Bantu people. They have their own cuisine and view of food. This means that every local restaurant has roots in the ancient Bantu people and the way they ate long ago. Plus, you will see quite a lot of Swahili cuisine that focuses on fish. Coastal visitors can try seafood every day that is made in the traditional style. As you move to the interior of the country, you will see more meat dishes that are cooked in the traditional Bantu style.
Street Carts
Keeping some cash on hand allows you to buy street food, visit carts on every corner, and buy drinks from pop-up stands every night. These carts and stands feature items like barracuda and lobster that were pulled from the water that morning. Fresh seafood from a cart is typically served on local bread, and the local sauces are made from yogurts and ground spices. You can eat as the people of this country do almost every day.
Fine Cuisine
Dar Es Salaam and Zanzibar are excellent places to find restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. When you go into the cities, you will find bars that serve traditional cocktails from around the world. Plus, these bars and restaurants feature a few local liqueurs that you need to try.
Some wines are made in the deep valleys of the country, and liqueurs are often made by each bar on the premises. This is a bit like trying moonshine in America, but these local liqueurs are influenced by plants and herbs that are grown in the area. Plus, every bar will recommend which drink to try with certain items on the menu because they have eaten that way for a long time.
