Top 10 most popular foods in Chad.

Chad abounds in indescribable culinary richness, facilitated by its multitude of ethnic groups.

The flavors change completely depending on the locality in which you find yourself. One vegetable, or example, can be prepared in different ways in more than one region.

However, there are unifying dishes that have become legendary and that can be found in almost every province of Chad. This makes cooking one of the few things that makes us equal. Poor or rich, we share the same vegetables!

Let’s round-up some of the most popular foods in Chad.
