Tanté’s fantastic dish
It is actually Ivorian, but very close to Beninese cuisine - rice or couscous with a spicy pepper paste, tomato, onion, and of course fish.
In general, this is my diet: Beans and gari (manioc), rice, grilled corn, yams, pate (white clump of corn meal) and spicy tomato sauce, some fish, spicy noodles with eggs, soybean omelets, oatmeal, stuff like malt-o-meal with lots of sugar, couscous with onion and tomato, bread, pineapples, coconut, bananas, papaya, oranges, sometimes salad but hard to find enough vegetables AND AT THE MOMENT it is mango season so they are EVERYWHERE!

Sara -
Enjoy the mangos! When i lived in puerto rico they were everywhere too, as we entered class we could just pick one right off of the tree and then eat it in class - juice dripping everywhere! They're sooooooo good though! If you have a way to get one really really really cold you should do it - they're so refreshing almost frozen. Also - i thought of you last night because i was watching some nerdy science channel and they were discussing manioc and its use as a staple of diet. what an intriguing food! I guess it's the african corn - pretend it's corn and you can pretend you're at the state fair! :)
Miss you oodles, momma! Hang in there!
i love mangos!!! :) yum yum yum.
This food looks excellent! Mangos are very healthy too. We had mango trees in our backyard in Colombia.
