In Beira last week we had many great moments in food.  We enjoyed peri-peri chicken down at the beach bar,  a couple nights out at my favourite restaurant in Beira – Ca te Espero, and a few dinners at home with fresh seafood bought from the market.

At the beach bar we also had the fortune to share a meal with a local woman from the Makonda tribe.  Her most striking feature was the tattoos on her face, which she told were applied when she was a very young girl. Tattooing among the Makonda people is a coming of age ceremony.  You can read more about this ritual from tattoo anthropologist Lars Krutak here.
