Isombe is a traditional Rwandan stew made from mashed cassava leaves and other ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, coriander, garlic, seasoning, and peanut butter. The dish often has a meaty flavor although it contains no meat due to the usage of stock from boiled beef bones.

Isombe is traditionally served with rice or beans on the side.

@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 I've never had matcha. It's good? Google says it's like tea? Is it minty or no?

User Profile: AiluraTheCat

@mytwistedsoul like Pure matcha is generally not minty...... it has a, grassy, earthy, and sometimes slightly bitter or seaweed-like savory taste 💗. matcha is deeply traditional, deeply rooted in centuries-old Japanese culture, specifically as the centerpiece of the Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu or sadō).

Originating from 8th-century China, it was brought to Japan by Buddhist monks who used it to aid meditation. The production involves shade grown tea leaves (tencha) that are handpicked, steamed, and stone-ground. uhm...!! that's huge, NVM 🤧img-20260125-111249_1769320395.jpg

They are light, fluffy, and spiced with warm cardamom and cinnamon. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a snack, these fried treats pair wonderfully with tea or coffee. Enjoy them plain or dusted with powdered sugar. Definitely need them with powdered sugar 😁
