This page categorizes recipes by their country and region. If a recipe is common in more than one country, it may be placed in the region's "all over" category. Recipes that are common in more than one region (Central Africa, Eastern Africa, etc.) are placed in the "all over Sub-Saharan Africa" category -- however, there are many dishes that are popular in, say, both Eastern and Southern Africa, yet little known in Central, Western, or Northern Africa.
