I'm a Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 who has stayed half of her life in Malawi 🇲🇼

If I could pick one souvenir food wise it would be this garlic sauce from here in Malawi.

Will make a series of posts on this.

French leaving in Germany. To French visitors, we give German wine (from the Rhine region). The French are always blown away that there can be good wine on this side of the border. They also like some of the Joghurt from here. They taste like before… They are usually unimpressed by the German beer.

The pics of the Rhine area are beautiful. I'm sure the white wine must be exquisite.

Their Riesling is top notch. It was originally developed there and they’ve been growing it since the Middle Ages. Very lively grape (also a favorite for sparkling wine production). Basically the quintessential German variety, though it is also grown in other countries nowadays.
