They say that the most signature food is a pepesup dish which is spicy fish soup.

The ingredients are fish stock, onion, ginger, garlic, habanero, bay leaf, crayfish powder, and white pepper. I would not try this god forsaken dish. That stuff looks like throw up with meat in it.... NO!

The main sport in guinea is soccer/football. The reason its the main sport is because during the Spanish colonialism, football arrived to Equatorial Guinea.

Favorite Part

My favortie part is the sports even though they havent won anything. I say this because to me it looks like the better option from my choices. If i had to compare it to United States i dont think they could compete with them in any type of sports because U.S.A has alot of medals for the olympics.
