Christmas traditions do vary in each culture but nothing beats the fact that this celebration won’t be complete without a sumptuous array of holiday food shared with our loved ones over merry chatters and cheerful songs.
It’s been a couple of years since I celebrated Christmas back in my in Africa, was hoping to make it this Christmas but due to unforeseen circumstances, I’ll be celebrating here with family and friends. And the food is mostly going to be traditional.
I don’t know about you, but during Christmas, my palate longs for those bold, rich and flavorful African dishes that have served me good memories over the years. And in Most West African Countries, Christmas is about stews, chicken, rice, goat and chin chin.
So in the spirit of the holidays, I am sharing with you some of the Popular African Food to Celebrate Christmas that would often, if not always, make an appearance on the Table. These foods are very easy to cook and the ingredients are easily sourced. African foods tend to be spicy so don’t forget to moderate your spice to suit your unique taste.
