Chapter 303: Food Festival

The East African Military Advisory Group was sent to the Orange Free State along with military supplies to aid the Orange people, after all, the East African Military Advisory Group was ostensibly an Austro-Hungarian after-sales agent for the Orange people to buy weapons.

The after-sales operation of this weapon is very normal, so it is in line with the procedures of the international arms trade, and it is also convenient for East Africa to intervene in the civil unrest in the Orange Free State.

Although the British and Transvaals knew that East Africa would definitely come in as a-stirring stick, as long as the fig leaf was not lifted, everyone was still "friends" on the surface.

At a time when East Africa's periphery is in dire straits, First Town is hosting East Africa's first national food festival, in stark contrast to the war-torn Orange Free State.

Of course, there is no news broadcast in East Africa, and there is still no shortage of newspapers, so there will definitely be a page to promote this food festival.

"According to the experience of each sub-division last year, we should focus on Nairobi City, East Africans are the most particular about eating, and Nairobi City is the most discerning and picky area in East Africa, so we want to give Nairobi City more volume in this issue." Mark instructed, the director of the East Africa News Agency, to his subordinates.

"President, don't worry, we all understand this, after all, many immigrants in Nairobi are from the Venice region of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as well as immigrants from the Far East, and both sides have their own pursuit of food, which is famous throughout the country, and we will definitely be more interested!"

As a native Saxon, President Marc agrees with this, because Germans are too crude and have no talent for food.

"Well, Leon is right, Italians are more picky about ingredients, and pay attention to techniques and procedures, and at the same time are unwilling to accept the improvement of traditional Italian cuisine, while the pursuit of ingredients in the Far East is very focused on freshness, and at the same time the pursuit of rich taste, there are many methods, we in East Africa seem to be three separate in the field of food, but in fact, two powers."

The three are separated, and naturally German catering is added, but German catering is very scarce, especially in the 19th century, as for the famous German sausage, the meat sausage is generally unaffordable for civilians, and it is more mixed with vegetarian miscellaneous sausages, which is much worse in taste, but it is already very good for German civilians who have not eaten anything good.

German pickled sauerkraut is very famous, but East Africans are not good at this, after all, sauerkraut is good for appetizing, but East Africa is in the tropics, fresh fruits and vegetables are in constant supply all year round, with a better choice, the demand for sauerkraut is very small, but there are also people who will follow the traditional pickled sauerkraut, and occasionally change the taste is also good.

All in all, German cuisine is not at all able to compete with Italian or Far Eastern cuisine, and of course, an important reason for this is that many Italian immigrants from East Africa come from the Venice region.

The Venice area is a relatively wealthy area in Italy, and it is the traditional commercial center of the Mediterranean region, and it is also located near the Po River Plain in Italy, and there are Alps in the north.

Therefore, the standard of living of the people in the Venetian region is better than that of Germany and the Far East, and if it were not for the war, no one would choose to leave their homeland and develop in East Africa.

Mark continued: "This food festival is a good news material, and in conjunction with the conflict in the Orange Free State in the South, our newspaper should be doing well this month, so everyone should be positive." ”

There is no shortage of news in East Africa, but national competitions such as the National Food Festival are rare, which is an important reason why Mark actively promotes the promotion of this food festival.

"Alright, adjourn!" Mark said.

Then the reporters of the East African News Agency got into action, and the race ended in the first town, so it was still very convenient.

Today is a Sunday, so there are a lot of people on the street, and everyone is usually busy with work, so it is natural to accompany their families to go shopping and other activities on their days off.

"The topic of the first contest is to use the ingredients provided by the government, and the specific content is not limited, and the contestants will make their own specialty dishes by giving full play to the strengths of the contestants, and then the judges and citizens will evaluate them." The moderator announced.

The race was on the streets of San Antonio Street, so there were a lot of onlookers, and there were police officers at the scene to maintain order and prevent stampedes.

"Mr. Rawls, you are the winner of the Nairobi City Arena and one of the favourites to win this year's food festival, what are you going to do today?" East African News Agency correspondent Locks asked.

Rawls replied: "Because of the official ingredients, it makes me a little less selective, but there are still a lot of official ingredients, which makes more choice, and there is fresh beef, and I plan to make a beef soup based on this beef with carrots, onions, and various spices and condiments." ”

"Which fighter do you think is the biggest threat to you today?"

"Mr. Val." Rawls replied without thinking.

"As far as I know, Mr. Val is also very good at Italian food, and you are all from the Venice area, why do you think he is the biggest threat?"

"It's because he and I are both from Venice that our dishes are probably the most similar, so I put him first." Rawls gave his reasons.

"Well, Mr. Val is one of the winners of the Mombasa City Division, and he should be very strong." The Locks reporter agreed with Rawls.

Because although Nairobi is a well-known "foodie" city in East Africa, the strength of the players in Mombasa and Dar es Salaam will not be bad.

On the one hand, Mombasa and Dar es Salaam are the two economic headlands in East Africa, and there are basically no shortcomings in various fields, which is especially evident in the catering industry.

Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, as the windows of East Africa's foreign economy, also have the largest number of foreigners, and there are many restaurants and hotels, and the catering industry is a disconnected existence in the whole East Africa for other cities.

In both cities, Chinese, French, Italian, Indian, Arabic ...... All the world's mainstream meals can be found.

Therefore, if you really choose the food cities in East Africa, it must be selected among the cities of Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, and Nairobi is famous for foodies, so Nairobi is more suitable for judges.

On the other hand, Mombasa and Dar es Salaam are not on the same order of magnitude as Nairobi in terms of population, and only Mbeya can be compared with Mombasa and Dar es Salaam.

As for the textile industry in Nairobi, it also exists in Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, and there are other industries in those cities.

With a larger population, there is more competition, and the economic vitality of Mombasa and Dar es Salaam is also stronger than that of Nairobi, so the catering industry in these two cities is stronger than that of Nairobi.

As for the city of Mbeya, which is deep inland, it is much worse than the other three cities in terms of food, but it is the city of Soga, the future science and technology city of East Africa, and the first town of the capital can be compared with it.

The city of Soga has a high income and a strong spending power, and at the same time, the East African government, or Ernst, attaches great importance to the treatment of professionals, and the first town, as the capital of East Africa, cannot be inferior in this regard.
