In Madagascar, eating means a lot. Malagasy cooking is based on a large serving of rice with a dressing of sauces, meat, vegetables and spicy seasoning. The people of Madagascar enjoy very hot food and often serve dishes with hot peppers.======

How Dinner is Served. [[image:tea width="130" height="130" caption="Malagasy Tea"]]
In Madagascar every meal is served on a mat on the floor. Everything is put down at the same time. There are no preliminaries such as snacks, hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, or drinks. Guests are brought to the dining area and served directly. Malagaches like their food simply prepared, flavorful, but as I have said, not highly spiced. Fruits and vegetables are often used at their freshest, and it is not uncommon to start a meal with vegetable soup and then to serve two or three vegetables with the entree. The beverage that goes with the meal is Ranonapango, a drink made by burning rice and adding water to it. The entree might very well be a chicken or fish curry. Malagasy curries are prepared a little differently than in other countries. Malagasy tea, completes a nutritious meal.
