AFRICAN FOOD

   I haven't seen a single cookbook yet, but should see some in Dakar soon.
   Dogon Country (Mali) was a great experience.  The Dogons are famous for their charting of the Dog Star.  Less well known is that "Tad Dogon" coined the word "hot dog."  You just can't find all this good stuff on Google.
   This was the African menu at the Hotel Plaza in Bamako, Mali:

Saga-Saga (Sauce epinard)
Domoda (Sauce Tomate)
Soupe Kandia (Sauce aux Gombo)
Maffe (Sauce Arachide)
Fonia
Yassa (Sauce Oignon Poulet)
Tiep o Diem (Riz au Gras Poissons)

(OT: My diet here has been Captaine fish and pizza.)
