My Cuisine

Let's start with food.
All my food was natural, organic, and paleo. Prepared fresh by hand, brought over hot to my table. Ingredients would cost a fortune at Whole Foods, no tips required. One thing about Liberian food, you better like rice and spice. Two meals a day, but each is filling.
Some of my favorites:
Breakfast:
Spaghetti with canned sardines and chilies. You can eat it with mayonnaise as a cooling condiment.
Taro (called Eddo in Liberia) in a spicy sauce with onion.
Fried dough balls
Coka Oats (Oatmeal)
Dinner:
A large quantity of rice accompanies every meal, with:
Ground up cassava leaves, spice, palm oil, dried fish, chicken feet
Ground up potato greens, spice, palm oil, and ground hog
Ground up palaver leaves, spice, palm oil, chicken drumstick with canned fish
Pepe Soup, a spicy broth with some form of animal
Supper:
Left overs, later washed down with a beer from Dr.Nick's

As strange as the food sounds, I have come to like it.
