The national cuisine of Kenya can be called international due to the fact that it combines Arabic spices and Indian sauces, and all food here, as in the UK, is washed down with tea and milk. As for the quality of food, Kenya is in favor of a healthy, proper and balanced diet.
The traditional cuisine of Kenya is represented not only by vegetables and exotic fruits, but also by the meat of zebra, crocodile, ostrich, giraffe, warthog and other representatives of wildlife. As for average Kenyan residents, they mainly eat rice, potatoes, maize, beef, chicken or goat meat. In some establishments, you can order spinach or sukumawiki on the side.
Besides national dishes, Kenya has some that are specific to a particular tribe or region. Swahili cuisine is the most interesting from a gastronomic point of view. It is based on tamarinds and coconuts. In the Luo tribe you can enjoy the taste of fried tilapia fish with utopi (maize porridge). A traditional dish for the Kikuyu tribe is irio, a stew of potatoes, corn and peas.
If you're wondering what alcoholic beverages are in demand in Kenya, you can buy Kenya Kane rum or Kenya Gold coffee liqueur of fairly good quality. The country also produces a large number of wine varieties that have a sweet fruity flavor. Wine made from papaya is particularly popular here. The best wine product is considered to be Naivasha.
