Cultures determine which foods we crave; in colder countries this could be for comfort foods that are high in energy to warm up the body whereas in hot countries like Sudan, cravings are often associated with foods that cool us down, a cold lime juice or homemade popsicles. In Sudan, and as temperatures drop, during the winter months or at the beginning of the rainy season, people have different cravings. They may choose to spend time outside, eating grilled meats such as agashay and shaya, or fish cooked in different ways like fried or grilled bulti or ijil and sometimes salted fish known as faseekh. A simple milky tea with ligaymat donuts is also a popular choice in the cooler weather. The way people describe the objects of their cravings is indicative of how keen they are; “hot fried fish with fresh rocket and white onions, and an ice cold bottle of fizzy pop” is listed longingly. Whatever the favorite dish, what people enjoy the most is spending time together enjoying the weather and the delicious food.
