potatoes
the cuisine of rwanda is based on local staple foods produced by subsistence agriculture such as bananas, plantains (known as "ibitoke"), pulses, sweet potatoes, beans, and cassava (manioc). many rwandans do not eat meat more than a few times a month. for those who live near lakes and have access to fish, tilapia is popular. the potato, thought to have been introduced to rwanda by german and belgian colonialists, is very popular. "ubugari" (or "umutsima") is a paste made from cassava or maize and water to form a porridge-like consistency that is eaten throughout the african great lakes. "isombe" is made from mashed cassava leaves and served with dried fish. lunch is usually a buffet known as "mélange", consisting of the above staples and sometimes meat. brochettes are the most popular food when eating out in the evening, usually made from goat but sometimes tripe, beef, or fish. in rural areas, many bars have a brochette seller responsible for tending and slaughtering the goats, skewering and barbecuing the meat, and serving it with grilled bananas. milk, particularly in a fermented yoghurt form called "ikivuguto", is a common drink throughout the country. other drinks include a traditional beer called ikigage made from sorghum and "urwagwa", made from bananas, which features in traditional rituals and ceremonies. the major drinks manufacturer in rwanda is bralirwa, which was established in the 1950s and is now listed on the rwandan stock exchange. bralirwa manufactures soft drink products from the coca-cola company, under license, including coca-cola, fanta, and sprite, and a range of beers including primus, mützig, amstel, and turbo king. in 2009 a new brewery, brasseries des mille collines (bmc) opened, manufacturing skol beer and a local version known as skol gatanu; bmc is now owned by belgian company unibra. east african breweries also operate in the country, importing guinness, tusker, and bell, as well as whisky and spirits.

unlike in the general population, where many restaurants and fast food businesses specialize in a particular type of food, many kosher establishments have a variety of different types of popular food. many kosher delicatessens exist that serve both "milchig" (dairy) and meat foods that are kept separate. the dairy items include various sliced cheeses and cream cheese, and the meats include cold cuts and meat spreads. many pareve items and fish items are also served, such as smoked whitefish salad and herring. pizza is a popular food served at kosher restaurants, but kosher pizza shops typically also serve middle eastern cuisine, such as falafel, and other foods that can be served with dairy, such as fish and pasta. some locations also have the menus common at pizza shops. bagel shops are also common, serving bagels and cream cheese with lox and a variety of other spreads. at kosher bagel shops, salads may also be served.
