Congo Edition
Regional/Cultural Day
Jour de la Saka-Saka
The same dish as pondu, the same cassava leaves, the same long cooking, but call it saka-saka in Kikongo territory and watch how fast the kitchen falls silent if you say pondu by mistake. The debate is not about taste. The debate is about identity. Every Congolese person knows both names. Every Congolese person has a preference. Nobody switches.
