Christelle takes the world on a street food tour!
When it comes to street food, Togo is a paradise in West Africa. From aulu to Suya and more, the streets of Lome offer a vibrant culinary experience. As Christelle takes the world on a tour through Independence Square, Deckon, and Akodessewa Market, showcasing the diverse flavors and dishes that make Togo's street food scene unique.
The journey begins in Deckon, a bustling area filled with electronics and food stalls. One popular dish is Suya, a deliciously roasted meat served with onions and pepper. The meat is perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor. If you're in Lome, this is a must-try delicacy.
Next, we enjoy fresh watermelon, one of the sweetest I've tasted, sold for just 100 francs. Then, we savor Togo salad, a colorful mix of spaghetti, veggies, eggs, and tomatoes. Its vibrant red hue comes from beetroots boiled with spaghetti, making it both healthy and delicious.
In Akodessewa Market, we indulge in aimu, a widely loved dish of rice and beans with pepper. It's incredibly affordable and flavorful, showing Togo's knack for creating amazing meals from simple ingredients. Here, street food vendors offer incredible value and taste.
Finally, she experienceed traditional fufu, with fermented corn paired with pepper sauce. These dishes are favorites in Togo, offering a true taste of the country's rich culinary heritage. The crispy cravette, a deep-fried snack, adds to the diverse array of street foods.
Togo's street food scene is an incredible mix of flavors, cultures, and history. If you ever find yourself in Lome, these culinary delights are not to be missed.
