West Africa's answer to fast food are the women who sit in the market, or at stations along the road and sell plate fulls of achekeh grated, fermented, steamed manioc â that has the taste of sourdough bread â but looks like couscous fried fish, rice and peanut sauces, rice and fish sauces, spaghetti, and much more. The food is delicious. Also for sale in season are fried sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, and taro root with a tomato based sauce, or oil sauce. There are also usually "coffee bars" or small wooden stalls where coffee Nescafe brand is sold with sugar, or sweetened condensed milk. You can usually order an omlette or egg also. Plastic bags of yogurt and juices bissap, ginger based juice, tamarind based juice are sold through out the market and in the coffee bar stalls. If you like pork â right next to the District Sanitaire Medical district office â NOT the hospital there is a bar and a pork roasting oven that swells packets of cooked meat. For those who don't like eating from food stalls as previously mentioned, Orodara doesn't offer much. Check out the one large hotel in the area for food options that cater to more western styles.
street food and snacks
A favorite is always the achekeh manioc served with fish, onions, tomatoes, sauce, and hot pepper Rice and various sauces are available everywhere. Also a nice place to get fresh bread is the bakery just on the other side of the Cinema on the same RN8 road. If you time it right â you get a hot baguette.
