Hi there. My name is Noela Mogga. I am a physician, mother, food blogger. I was born in South Sudan. I plan to showcase tasty South Sudan food recipes, traditional customs, and natural beauty regimens. When I am not busy practicing Anesthesiology in my adopted state of Texas, I can be found whipping delicious meals for my husband and children

Hi, I'm on MetaFilter and I could overthink Sahan ful!

Delicious looking recipes- right now I'm watching the cooking video for molokhia and it's good- like, well framed, well paced, informative. Plus dancing!

I am in favour of this!

I'm also a big fan of ful medames - the variations here in my part of Australia tend to be Egyptian, Lebanese or Iraqi, so it's great to have another take on such a simple dish...

I just sent this link to a friend of mine who is from Barbados. I swear he served this very drink at a BBQ some years back. It wouldn't be that odd that this drink from Sudan is also made in Barbados? It'l be interesting what he says.

"South Sudanese cuisine is generally complex and labor and time consuming."

Note to self: look up Sudanese restaurants.
