Somali food walk: 1


Many thanks to Abdikarin for putting me in contact with Erasto on Gleneagle road for the fantastic excursion around the area. Erasto, a chef based on Gleneagle road kindly agreed to take me on a guided walk of the area in an attempt to educate, inform me of  how Somalis shop, where in act they do so and what dishes are usually created. The weather was gloriously in our favor and it was a marvelous and insightful afternoon into the cuisine of his native Mogadishu and how it is executed in this country. Ersato complemented our tour with beautiful anecdotes of his childhood back in Mogadishu, that included insightful contrasts with that of city life here. Thank you very much, I'm indebted.

Again, the story of the day and the wonderful anecdotes will be available on the map and site.
