Sierra Leonean cuisine is similar to that of many West African countries. Rice is typically served with every meal and is combined with commonly eaten meats such as goat, chicken and beef, pork being a lot less common. A meal without rice is usually considered incomplete. Rice is usually eaten by being rolled into a ball and then dipped into a sauce, commonly made with palm or coconut oil and various spices. The fruit commonly eaten by Sierra Leoneans are guavas, watermelons, mangoes and oranges, and they are all easily found in the region. Stews can easily be Sierra Leone's national dish – with many flavours and varieties, they are a fundamental part of the country's cuisine. An important cooking ingredient is cassava leaves, and they can be mixed with meat, fish, vegetables, stews and more. A common beverage in Sierra Leone is ginger beer: made out of pure ginger and can be had with or without sweeteners. When visiting Sierra Leone, keep in mind that talking during a meal and reaching over the platter is considered rude. You should only eat what's in front of where you're seated.
