On Safari at the Fancy Food Show

What do thiakry and fonio have in common? No, they're not just made-up words used to get your scrabble high score. They're Senegalise grains making their American debut at the 33rd Winter Fancy Food Show , going on now at the San Diego Convention Center.

Carve your way through the prosciutto in the Italian section, squeak past the cheeses made in Ireland and salsa around Mexico and you'll find a newcomer on the scene. Yes, this year African food is making it's mark. Showcasing 38 different companies with items ranging from South African jellies to fair trade Ghana chocolates to Senegalise grains, these products are certain to influence culinary trends in this country.
