Spirit of Duluth Series at Zeitgeist Cafe Features Liberian Food

The gourmet meal featured four courses of traditional Liberian food like peanut soup, Jollof rice, and even pineapple upside-down cake.

DULUTH, Minn. – Zeitgeist Cafe served up Liberian food as part of its monthly Spirit of Duluth Dinner and Film series.

The gourmet meal featured four courses of traditional Liberian food like peanut soup, Jollof rice, and even pineapple upside-down cake.

The cultural food also reflected influence from African-American slaves who immigrated to Liberia.

“It’s just fun to submerge yourself in different cultures and learn something new and be a part of something new and yeah it’s just a fun way to share and learn about each other and it just kind of allows us to get a feel of others who live elsewhere in the world,” said Sandra Gbeintor Oyinloye, a co-curator of the Taste in Liberia night.

The evening rounded out with a documentary about the social unrest in Liberia involving their Civil War.
