    In Angola we also have Tchkuanga/Kikuanga, Sakamadessu, Fumbua, Makaiabo, and Pincho (the meet you showed). Especially in the provinces where BaKongo people mostly live such as Cabinda, Zaire (where Mbanza Kongo is located), and Uige. But as Luanda, is a place whre people from all provinces usually go to live to find better life opportunities, its now popular in Luanda as well, and also, because there are many Congolese people living in Angola. In Angola people usually eat them at home, weddings, and also we usually eat the meat you showed (we call it pincho) with Tchikuanga/Kikuanga, Fried Banana, and Fried Fries as kind of barbecue.

    I think I tried one Congolese recipe. I’m sure I didn’t make it correctly. And I swapped the peanut sauce for Tahini. Was scrumptious! Made me realize how familiar the flavorings and culinary styles were to cuisines that can be tasted all around the world. For example there is substantial evidence indicating the Congolese roots of dishes among Afro people in Centro, Southern, and Northern America. Even Mexican food has Congolese/Central African/ Niger Congo roots.

    Kwanga is called Congolese bobo lo in Cameroon
    I know a company that produces it here in DLA and exports it to London
    But until you taste Cameroonian🇨🇲 delicacies before we conclude if 🇨🇩 got the best.
    Much love from me to you. Nalingaka mingi ba vidéos na bino; they give me the zeal to learn Lingala.

    We called fumbwa --sakasaka, manioc leaves cooked in palm oil and pili pili and other yummy stuff. I make fufu, with saka saka or mwamba nsusu, but never learned how to make kwanga. In Kinshasa, they serve kwanga and sardines on the public buses. I need a congolese restaurant in California to visit!

  • @danchapman8218
    @danchapman8218 3 роки тому +1

    I love mwamba nsusu (chicken cooked in palm oil), add in some saka- saka (manioc leaves), with Kwanga, its to die for. I also love mbica (spelling?) pounded seeds cooked again, in palm oil, with fufu or kwanga. I've been making fufu here in California for years (who else is going to make it for me) and have it with my cans of sardines, whenever I'm missing Congo.

      😅 In the literal sense, it says “You can’t just buy Kwanga with the thought of eating it with someone else’s Liboke” 😊 It’s a metaphor and the way I understand it is simply not to make plans on other people’s belongings lol!
