What is Somali cuisine?

Somali cuisine is the traditional cuisine of Somalis from the Horn of Africa. Somali cuisine does have moderate foreign influence from different countries mainly due to trade but traditionally also varies from region to region due to the expansive landmass Somalis inhabit with traditions varying in different regions which makes it a fusion of differing Somali culinary traditions. It is the product of Somalia's tradition of trade and commerce. Some notable Somali delicacies include Kimis/Sabaayad, Canjeero/Lahoh, Xalwo , Sambuusa , Bariis Iskukaris, and Muqmad/Odkac.

Pork consumption is forbidden to Muslims in Somalia, in accordance with Sharia, the Islamic law.
