Lightly Sweetened Cocoa Tea Biscuits
African
food is a fusion of many different nations. One influence over the centuries
is that of the European colonialists.
As
legend has it, Anna Maria Russell, the seventh Duchess of Bedford is said to
have made afternoon tea time a fashionable practice when she complained of
"having that sinking feeling" during the late afternoons.
From
this time on, a pot of tea and a light snack in the middle of the afternoon
became a part of European traditions. One very popular light snack is that of
the lightly sweetened cocoa tea biscuit or cookie.
