For me personally at least anyways, my favourite African dish is : grilled fish with fried rice and banana plantains. yum. I can have it for a 5$ deal from a Haitian lady over here at a local African restaurant. And you personally? Have you ever tried it yet or not personally? And if yes, what are your favourite African foods in your opinion?
 
I understand that okra was an imported food from Africa. I do really like okra; fried, steamed or very slightly nuked, in soups & gumbos.
 
Mine is African salad with grilled fish and a lot of garden eggs. I eat it every weekend at a popular joint around my place here.
 
Hmm, I don't even know what african food is or what it consists of primarily.

I'm really kind of at a loss about this question, too; I'm sure there are no African restaurants here; I've never been to an African restaurant or seen foods designated as 'African' in a grocery store. I wonder if that might be because there are so many countries & diverse cultures in Africa.
 
Here's an article I saw with some of their fav dishes: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/africa-food-dishes/index.html
Some of that looks pretty interesting; lots of available local veggies, fish, meats. I even spotted some okra in one of the pictures; "Also known as chicken muamba, this is a spicy, somewhat oily stew made with with palm oil or palm butter, garlic, chilis and okra. Variations of chicken muamba, such as poulet moambé, are to be found all over the Congo River region, where it’s often served with cassava leaves and white rice.
Thanks!

I've tried a few of the ones listed there, especially the bunny chow and they're pretty good. A little spicy but that's mainly the Indian influence on the cuisine in general.

 
I'll probably never visit Africa in my lifetime but I'd try their food!

Never been to any of those, I suppose I'll have to give them a try.
