Gambian cuisine

The Gambia does not actually have its own cuisine; the food that is to be found there stems mostly from neighboring Senegal, whose cuisine is French-influenced.

Common ingredients include fish, rice, peanuts, tomato, black-eyed peas, lemon, cassava, cabbage, potato, pumpkin, garden egg, lettuces, rice, couscous, corn, findi, salt, pepper, onion, chili, and various herbs.

Oysters are also a popular food from the River Gambia, and are harvested by women.
