Togo offers one of the best cuisines in West Africa. Most of its specialties comprise sauce with rice, corn (in the form of corn meal or steamed pancake) or yam fufu. The sauce is cooked with groundnuts, fish, tomatoes, eggplants or spinach. You can also taste the very popular koliko (fried yam) or, beans or plantain fritters, the abobo (snail kebab), the egbo pinon (smoked goat meat) and the koklo meme (roast chicken with pepper sauce). Gourmet attractions include eating bats in Atakpame. As liqueur, you will find the sodabi (palm wine), the tchoucoutou (very thick millet beer) or the tchakpallo (fermented millet).
