D铆a del Nsom

Un plato de carne ahumada, conservada y cocinada en una salsa que lleva el sabor del fuego que la sec贸. Nsom es el sabor de la aldea, el sabor de la caza, el sabor de una tradici贸n que es anterior a la refrigeraci贸n por siglos. Cada grupo 茅tnico del Congo tiene su propia versi贸n, su propia madera para ahumar, su propia salsa para servir. El hilo conductor es que el nsom sabe a memoria.
