our county homemakers group at the extension office holds an "international dinner" every year - each bunch is assigned a different country and then brings in a covered dish with something appropriate for that country -
so this year my group has "africa" - i have zero recipes for african dishes - any suggestions ?
note - any recipe requiring exotic ingredients necessitating a safari or suggested by anyone named hannibal will be rejected without reading -
thank you !~

Peanuts, yams, okra all come from Africa. Maybe a creamy peanut soup. I'd have to google a recipe but its good stuff. I googled it and came up with this. I'm goin to check them out too. allrecipes.com/recipes/world-cuisine/africa/ |

If you can't get yer self an Lion well you can always try Elephant they move slower.
Elephant Stew
Ingredients
1 Elephant
10 Warthog or wild pigs
100 kilogram tomatoes
half ton potatoes
2 bags onions
100 kilogram salt
1 wheelbarrow onions (heaped)
10 liter vinegar
20 liter chutney
4 Guineafowl
Method
Hunt the elephant, warthog and guineafowl. Hang guineafowl to ripen. Cut elephant into edible chunks, (will take about a month). Boil the warthog with other ingredients (except guineafowl) till nice and juicy. Now boil elephant chunks over high flames till tender. (will take about 4 weeks) and add everything together. Boil for another 5 to 7 days.
Produces about 3,500 helpings.
Note: If the above isn't enough, add the guineafowl as well.
