Part 22 of 25 World Cuisines to try. (5/5) Today’s Cuisine: #Somalia Speaking of sweets, I wrapped up my dinner with another #sabayad, but with a drizzle of honey. This is a common snack or dessert, especially during #casariya. #SomaliCuisine #Africancuisine #harlem #safari #sabaayad #sabayaad #AfternoonTea (at Safari NYC)

Part 22 of 25 World Cuisines to try. (4/5) Today’s Cuisine: #Somalia To wash down all the food, I tried out a Somali tea, called #Shaax or #Shaah #tea. It was an incredibly sweet chai-like tea flavored with #cloves, #cinnamon, #ginger, #cardamom and a generous but not overbearing amount of sugar. In #Somali society there is a tradition called #casariya, which loosely means #AfternoonTea. During this period, much like other afternoon tea occasions, there are servings of sweets and snacks alongside the tea. Tea is often taken in the morning and at dinner as well. #Africancuisine #harlem #safari #SomaliCuisine (at Safari NYC)
