Africa Dinner Party
Food must be obtained and prepared, so some planning is necessary. Here are some thoughts:Main Course: In most of Sub-Saharan Africa, the most common family meal is a soup or stew or sauce (such as Moambé Stew, Groundnut Stew, or Palm-Oil Chop) accompanied by a Fufu-like starch (such as Baton de Manioc, Fufu, Ugali, Rice, or something similar). You may want to serve more than one main course, that way people can try more than one dish and everyone can find something to suit their taste. These are some of the easiest dishes to prepare, but everyone loves them. It's hard to go wrong with:

Pepper Soup
Fried Plantain
Fried Snails in dry sauce
Suya

Elaborate African Favorites: These dishes call for a lot of ingredients and preparation:

Jollof Rice
Pounded Yam
Groundnut Stew
Ndolé Soup
Palaver 'Sauce
Egusi Sauce
Efo Riro

For your African dinner, you may want to adapt an African soup or stew as a soup course to serve before the main course. African vegetable dishes, side dishes, or snacks can become appetizers or desserts.

Drinks: Besides water, the most common beverages served with dinners are bottled soft drinks and beer, always served with the cap on, and opened in front of the recipient. For more ideas on beverages, see the Beverage Recipes.
