This week’s trivia question was what is baladi? Baladi, or Sudanese round bread, is traditionally baked in an outdoor clay oven, which imparts a smoky aroma. In addition, the nigella sativa seeds sprinkled on top give baladi a pungent taste and smell. The Sudanese tear pieces of this bread and use them to scoop up stews, vegetables, or pieces of meat.
