Chadian culture

Like most African countries, Chad has managed to retain its cultural values. According to African culture, when guests walk in any home they are welcomed with a drink or food. This is not different in Chad. Guests are not expected to turn down food or any drink offered to them. Doing so is a sign of rudeness.

In Chad all meals are prepared in an open fire by women. When ready, the food is served on a sizeable communal bowl, which is placed on a mat. The main dish is served in the evening and is enjoyed by both men and women in separate areas. As a culture, foods are consumed using the right hand.

Washing hands before meals is paramount, and eating with the left side is considered unholy and unclean.
