ʻO ka meaʻai Cape Verdean kahi hui maikaʻi o ʻApelika, Pukiki, a me Palakila. Ua ʻike ʻia kēia meaʻai waihoʻoluʻu no kāna ʻono wiwo ʻole a me nā mea ʻala, i hoʻopili ʻia me nā mea ʻala a me nā mea kanu. ʻO ka meaʻai ka nui o ka iʻa, nā mea kanu hou, a me nā huaʻai, a ua hoʻoikaika nui ʻia e ka mōʻaukala o ka colonialism a me ke kālepa. He ʻokoʻa ka Cape Verdean palate e like me ka ʻāina o ka ʻāina, me kēlā me kēia mokupuni he ʻano meaʻai ponoʻī.
ʻO ka wehe ʻana i nā mea ʻokoʻa o nā kīʻaha Cape Verdean

He mea punahele kēia pāʻina, a ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka kulina he hōʻailona ia o ka colonial colonial o Cape Verde a me ka mana o nā huahana maile i hoʻolauna ʻia e nā Pukiki.
ʻO kekahi mea ʻokoʻa ʻē aʻe i hoʻohana ʻia i ka meaʻai Cape Verdean ʻo ka manioc, ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo cassava. ʻO ka mea kanu aʻa tuberous kahi mea nui i ka meaʻai ʻApelika a hoʻohana ʻia i nā kīʻaha like ʻole e like me muamba de galinha, kahi moa moa me nā lau manioc. Hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Manioc e hana i kahi ʻano palaoa i kapa ʻia ʻo farofa, kahi i hoʻohana ʻia i mea ʻala i nā kīʻaha he nui.
Mai Cachupa a Xerém: Ke ʻimi nei i nā ʻono ʻono o ka ʻai ʻo Cape Verdean

Hana ʻia ʻo Cachupa me nā ʻano mea like ʻole, me ka pīni, ka ʻiʻo, a me ka iʻa, a lawelawe pinepine ʻia me ka laiki a i ʻole ka berena.

He kīʻaha kaulana ʻo Xerém ma Cape Verde, a hele pū ʻia me nā ʻano kīʻaha like ʻole e like me ka iʻa palai a me nā mea kanu. ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka kulina ma Cape Verdean cuisine e hōʻike ana i ka mōʻaukala o ka ʻāina, ʻoiai ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka kulina e ka poʻe Pukiki i ko lākou noho aliʻi ʻana.
