They are believed to have migrated south in small groups over a period of several centuries, eventually settling in much of Central, East, and Southern Africa.

The Legendary All-Natural Recipes Of The Senegalese Peoples Of East Africa. The Cultural History and Food Practices of the Senegalese Peoples Of Senegal Senegal is a West African country with a rich cultural heritage that has been influenced by a variety of factors such as religion, colonialism, and geography. The country is home to several different ethnic groups such as Wolof, Serer, Fula, and Mandinka, each with their own unique cultural practices and food traditions. One of the most important aspects of Senegalese culture is family and community. People are deeply interconnected and rely on each other for support, especially during difficult times. This sense of community is reflected in the cuisine, which often involves large communal meals shared among family and friends. The most popular dish in Senegal is undoubtedly thieboudienne (pronounced "CHEB-oo-jen"), which is a flavorful and filling rice and fish stew. This dish is typically made with vegetables such as carrots, cassava, and eggplant, as well as spices like garlic, ginger, and red pepper. The fish used in thieboudienne is usually a whole sea bass or grouper, which is stuffed with herbs and spices, then braised in the stew until tender. Another popular Senegalese dish is yassa, which is a grilled or roasted chicken or fish marinated in a mixture of onions, lemons, and mustard. Yassa is often served with jollof rice, a flavorful rice dish made with tomato paste, onions, and spices, including cayenne pepper, thyme, and bay leaves. The Senegalese also enjoy a variety of street food, including fried snacks such as akara (bean fritters) and pastels (flaky pastry filled with spicy fish or meat). These snacks are often purchased from vendors on the street and eaten on the go. Senegalese cuisine also has a strong influence from Islam, which is the dominant religion in the country. Many Senegalese dishes are prepared without pork or alcohol, and the use of halal meat is common. Overall, Senegalese food is rich, flavorful, and deeply connected to the country's cultural heritage. It reflects the importance of community and family in Senegalese society, as well as the influence of religion and colonialism on the country's cuisine.
