Street Food - Zanzibar - 5 Jan 08 - Part 2

Zanzibar, known as the spice island, traders of all skin colours for centuries, each of these people leaving their own mark.

Consequently Zanzibar has one of the richest food cultures in East Africa.

Al Jazeera samples some of the local cuisine from the island where the oceans are the streets.

[ummharoon]

this program is more about the zanzibar history and not about street food,

I'm a light brown Arab and Western call us Desert Niger! to me, that's an HONOR!

but you are right about Arabs with different skin color. the reason why we call ourselves Arabs not because of our DNA or gene! its due to our mother tongue!

@AlRahbi699 ahhhmm how about a big NO i hope ur joking



[malfini1]

Can't the native Zanzibari's tell us about their own culture?

[mamajoha]

EXATLY ummharoon. I was going to make a comment similar to yours but after reading your comment theres no need for mine (thumbs up to yours). Is this about food or politics?

[somalipal]

I think this is BS journalism and video camera activism rather than a programme about food. This woman is a disgrace who tries to spin history in favour of slave traders and racists. Many zanzibaris are probably disenchanted with the union but believe no one wants to be a slave to the tiny arab minority or work for indians at lowest of wages. Zanzibaris are not arabs 99percent of them are clearly negroid with some traces of foreign blood and portraying them anything other than that is BS

@eviltreemonster well you are wasting the years that you have been out of Islam and Islam does not need you on the contrary you need it so think what you want but remember to respect your self i don't go around saying that there is a place that is ruined by any religion even though i don't expect you to respect your self
