Sudanese foods

Sudan is a North African country that lies on the Red Sea just south of Egypt. It is Africa's largest nation (as determined by land area) with a population composed, in the main, of Kushite Arabs and Black Africans. Though Arabic and English are the official languages the country is composed of hundreds of ethnic divisions and tribal groups.

As might be expected, the cuisine of Sudan is as diverse as the population. Wheat and seafood tend to predominate in the north and plantains are a staple in the east. Freshwater fish is more common in the south, where the cuisine is much more similar to that of neighbouring Ethiopia.
