Sudanese cuisine

Turkish foods found in Sudanese cuisine include kebabs, kofta, and shawarma, as well as sweets such as baklava.

In rural Western Sudan, fermented foods like kawal serve as substitutes for meat in mullahs.

Several stews, including waika, bussaara, and sabaroag, use ni'aimiya (a Sudanese spice mix) and dried okra.

Men drank millet wine, sharbot (an alcoholic drink from fermented dates), and araqi.

In September 1983, former Sudanese President Gaafar Nimeiry enacted sharia, marking the occasion by dumping alcohol into the Nile river.
