by Marko Judia

Madagascar is where this taste comes from, Voanjobory sy hena-kisoa. Madagascar is an island in the Indian ocean. It can be located well from the western coasts of African continent.

The island has got varieties of cuisines like Foza sy hena-kisoa a seafood and pork dish and Koba a mashed bananas dish wrapped with banana leaves. Voanjobory sy hena-kisoa cuisine is composed of pork meat chopped and cooked along with Bambara nuts.

It is a simple dish to prepare although rarely cooked due to the less consumption of pork meat in the island.

Even though pork meat may cause low consumption of the cuisine, still many people from all over the world visits Madagascar often, this still counts for the preparation of this cuisine, that in return pays well.

The cuisine mostly goes with salad as a side dish.
