![]() ![]() Will you start in a specific location and then branch out or move around from the start? Since we have a serious sweet tooth, we can’t say we’re all healthy, but we’re 100% ‘pure’ goodness! We also want to use as many “added value” products on the truck, supporting local people making oils, jams, cheeses, breads, etc. We’ll strive to offer ‘complete’ meals, that is, well thought-out in terms of nutrients. We’ll serve up vibrant, adventurous dishes, including curries, soups, salads, noodle dishes and smoothies, all made of mostly local ingredients. We also want to involve artists and musicians to show off the culture behind the food. Well, we’re hoping that many of them are reading this interview right now! While the core team is us (a German-American couple) and a few international and local friends, we’re looking to partner and collaborate with many producers and food artisans in and around Dakar. We also believe that food is culture, and we want to explore a Senegal beyond thieboudienne, and what it means to combine local ingredients that have ancient histories with modern international cuisine. We also want to support local agriculture and food artisans and celebrate the plethora of amazing Senegalese ingredients, from mangos to moringa, from soow to soursop. That is, we want some well-thought-out vegetarian and vegan meal options madefrom the freshest ingredients, as locally as possible. So why did you decide to start a food truck?įor selfish and altruistic reasons! After twelve years in Senegal, I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had a delicious, ‘complete’ vegetarian meal made from local ingredients in a restaurant. And we’ve got the scoop, here on Dakar Eats in this interview with Kap. Abracadabra will be Senegal’s first vegetarian food truck, creating a fusion of cultures and flavors featuring local ingredients in international cuisine. ![]()
