📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Ikivuguto is Rwanda's traditional fermented milk: cow's milk is left to ferment naturally in a container into a thick, sour drink. Cattle symbolize wealth and respect in Rwandan culture, and dairy is a treasured food. It's drunk with rice or beans or whenever you're thirsty.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a hillside ranch in Rwanda, beside a herd of long-horned cattle, white fermented milk is poured from a wooden vessel.
