Kenyan breakfasts
Greetings, friends! Here, Otieno. Tea and mandazi are a delectable way to start the day in our area. What else is incredibly cool, you ask? Another name for the Mandazi is the “Swahili coconut donut.”
It looks like a delightful treat made of fried dough mixed with coconut milk, a dash of cardamom for taste, and even a few playful coconut flakes!
Mozambique breakfasts
Hallo, chums! Carlos here. We have a lot of tea and sandwiches here. Even some adults enjoy coffee!
I’ll now tell you about our unique sandwich. Imagine a tasty bread cake, but what do you think is inside? fresh fish and eggs! Yes, it’s a delicious surprise that fills our bellies with joy.
Nigerian breakfast
Hey, everyone! I’m Olamide from Nigeria. Guess what we munch on? Akara, which is like yummy fried black-eyed beans, and pap, a special treat made from fermented corn. It’s like a delicious adventure for our taste buds!
Tanzanian breakfast
Hello, hello, my awesome friends! I’m Baraka. Guess what makes our tummies happy?
Crepes and pancakes that are super yummy! And some of us enjoy a snack of white bread with butter and a cup of tea. It’s like a tasty party for our taste buds!
Ghanaian breakfasts
Hey there, my new pals! I’m Appiah, and I’m here to share some cool foods we enjoy. Ever heard of Ampesi, Pumpuka, or kenkey? Ampesi is like a mix of cassava, cocoyam, yam, and plantain.
We boil it up with fish and onion for a tasty treat! Pumpuka comes from ground millet, and kenkey is special ground cornmeal. We let it soak and ferment, and then roll it into a ball. Yum! We eat it with fish or stew, making our tummies super happy!
South African breakfasts
Hey, new friends! I’m Nkosi, and I’m excited to tell you about some yummy foods we enjoy. Have you heard of putupap? It’s like a cornmeal porridge that’s super tasty, kind of like grits.
And guess what? We also love mealie bread, which is like cornbread. But that’s not all – we have beskuit too! It’s a crispy, sweet bread that’s a bit like rusk. Oh, and to make it even better, lots of us enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with our delicious treats.
Tunisian breakfasts
Hey there, pals! I’m Aziz, and I want to tell you about a yummy treat we enjoy in the morning. It’s called Bambalouni, and it’s like a special doughnut. We mix flour, hot water, yeast, and a pinch of salt to make the dough.
Then, guess what? We fry it in hot oil until it turns a nice golden brown color. And you know what makes it even more delicious? Sprinkling some sugar on top! It’s the perfect treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee.
Cameroonian breakfasts
Hi, friends! I’m Ebot, and I want to tell you about the tasty things we eat. For breakfast, I love having omelet with a cup of tea and some bread. But you know what’s even more exciting?
My neighbors enjoy puff-puff, which is like yummy fried dough, and they dip it in beans sauce. And there are other cool breakfasts too!
Some people have fried plantain with eggs, or they mix spaghetti with eggs and mayonnaise to make a super yummy dish. Isn’t breakfast fun?
Ethiopian breakfast
Hey there, pals! I’m Abai, and I want to share something delicious with you. In my country, we love eating something called Fatira. It’s like a big, crunchy pancake made from wheat flour.
And guess what? We get to have so much fun with it! We can eat it with scrambled eggs, drizzle some honey on top, or even do both. Imagine having a big pancake adventure with tasty toppings – yum!
