Many people living in Eastern, Western and Southern African villages are farmers. They live almost entirely off the food they grow themselves. Traditional African food is also sold at outdoor markets. In countries like Morocco and Algeria couscous is a popular dish served with meat and vegetables. In Western Africa it is common for people to grow and eat cassava, maize, mille and plantains. When visiting African countries you will find that they are very traditional, with most woman and girls carrying out the task of cooking meals. Colonisation has also affected the food and drink served in some parts of Africa such as Kenya where it is common for people to drink tea.
