Togolese cuisine is the cuisine of the Togolese Republic, a country in Western Africa. Staple foods in Togolese cuisine include maize, rice, millet, cassava, yam, plantain and beans.[1][2] Maize is the most commonly consumed food in the Togolese Republic.[1] Fish is a significant source of protein. People in Togo tend to eat at home, but there are also restaurants and food stalls.[3]
Togolese style is often a combination of African, French, and German influences.[2][4] The cuisine has many sauces and different types of pâté, many of which are made from eggplant, tomato, spinach, and fish.[2] The cuisine combines these foods with various types of meat and vegetables to create flavorful dishes.[2] Roadside food stands sell foods such as groundnuts, omelettes, brochettes, corn-on-the-cob, and cooked prawns.[3]
