Photo: Traditional Zanzibar Meal

While travelling with an adventure tour in Africa, I spent a few days on the "spice islands" of Zanzibar. After visiting the Kidichi Spice Farm, we were treated to a hearty lunch which was flavoured with many of the spices harvested on the farm. We entered a shelter and had to remove our shoes and sit on straw mats. The meal consisted of boiled spinach, fried sardine fish and spiced rice pilau with cassava.
