I dare you...

One thing that's refreshing about Somali food is that everything is pretty straightforward. There are no surprises and you get the usual meat, fish, rice and pasta, and the only difference is the spices and herbs used as well as how it's cooked. But then comes something very interesting... eating banana with food!

In fact, Somalis eat banana with almost every meal, and they can forgive you for not serving dessert, but can't forgive you for not providing banana with the main course! For me, it's a normal combination, but I can imagine people's reaction; food with dessert?! That's like eating apple with pasta, or mango with rice! But this is different, I promise! So why don't you give it a try next time you are eating, whatever the dish as long as it's savoury? The combination might surprise you...:)

This is how I normally serve it

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to try eating banana with your next meal and let me know how you find the combination!

Have you ever tried strange food combination? Or is there a food combination from your country that is strange to others?
