In addition, there is a base of sweet potatoes, millet, corn and rice. Hearty meat soups with fresh fruits complement the African cuisine of the locals. Restaurants offer specialties such as piri piri (chicken with pepper) and boiled yams called ishu, which are derived from a tropical climbing plant and are the staple food in Africa.
