Damn Fresh Pics

Congolese capital Brazzaville has a subculture known as Sapeurs. This is a society of elegant people. Men of all ages dress up in designer clothes to look like French colonialists from the 50’s and 60’s even if they really can’t afford stylish outfit. A lot of people in Congo are starving and even get into debt in order to create their wardrobe. The fashion of Congolese dandies hasn’t changed in the last 50 years. Andre Grenard Matsoua is still the “God” of the SAPE movement. He became the first Congolese who returned from Paris in 1922 dressed like a French "Monsieur". His portraits can be found in many apartments throughout the cities of the Congo.

If we are what we eat, then these folks are strange, slimy, gross and delicious. They devour delicacies ranging from chicken feet to pig snout and everything in between without blinking an eye. Proceed only if you’ve got a strong stomach and pray do tell, which of these strange street foods would be courageous enough to try?
