Passport on a Plate: Africa


The great thing about homeschooling is that we have such a open field for study. One of the things that we are doing this semester is called "Passport on a Plate." We spend a whole week learning all about a country or continent, the geography, culture, family life and FOOD! This was the first week of on the adventure and Africa was the destination. We learned a lot about the large continent and we got pretty adventurous when it came to our African meal. We had ground nut stew (this stew had sweet potatoes, bananas, cabbage, peanuts, peanut butter and some other seasoning....it sounded kinda gross but it was pretty tasty) and jasmine rice. Fu fu balls (these were like a bread & potato ball that was soft), Kenyan nutty bananas, and Little yam cakes for dessert. African food is very filling and pretty yummy too. 1.29.10
