One of the poorest on earth, Burundi



Hi,

Interestingly, Burundi which has three official languages, one of which is English, the others are Kirundi and French is one of the poorest countries on earth. It is interesting since the original colonist was Germany followed by Belgium (after Germany lost World War I).

Sadly, this country is the hungriest nation in the world according to the Global Hunger Index 2013. According to the index, a score over 30 is alarming; Burundi has a score of 38.8.

We decided to cook Burundi Beans and Bananas, an odd combination to the western mind and containing no meat. Apparently, the Burundi people don’t eat much meat, understandable considering the wealth of the nation.



The dish, while very different was quite editable. I would never have thought bananas, chili, beans and onion would have gone together.

Bye for now.
