Somali cuisine is different from region to region and is a mixture of Somali, Arabic, Italian, Persian, Turkish, Eritrean, Ethiopian, Indian and Pakistani influences.
For example, Ethiopian and Eritrean Injera (a kind of flatbread) in Somali Canjeero.Or the way to cook the rice corresponds to South Yemeni customs.
Since Somalia is an Islamic country, there are only "halal" (allowed by Islamic rule) foods prepared.Pork and blood, such as bloody steaks, and alcohol or food which was prepared with alcohol are not eaten and the meat is sacrificed according to Islamic ritual.
