Whatâs stopping African cuisine from getting international recognition?
Three African countries were included in list of the worldâs top 50 best cuisines
A recent list of countries with the worldâs best cuisine has generated strong debate on social media. Taste Atlas, who describe themselves as a ââworld atlas of traditional dishes, local ingredients, and authentic restaurantsâ published their 2022 list of the best 95 cuisines in the world.
Algeria, South Africa and Tunisia were the only three African countries to make it to the top 50. Taste Atlas say rankings are based on audience votes for ingredients, dishes and beverages.
Italy, Greece, Spain, Japan and India were the top five countries on the list. But some questioned the order of the list and why so few African countries made it to the top 50.
Africa Dailyâs Alan Kasujja has been looking at whatâs stopping African cuisine from getting international recognition.
