In Abomey, we looked for someplace to take the kids to eat. Not much choice outside the few "hotel" restaurants. Stopped at a no-name place on the road. It looked clean anyway. Once inside, we found out that their sole dish of the day was a stew of agouti (a kind of giant rat). There was no way we were going to get the kids to eat that, so we just had a drink instead. We discovered Moka Cola, a coffee flavored soda. The kids loved it.
Favorite Dish: Well, we didn't try the agouti, but the drinks were cold!
