Like Anne C., this is my first venture into an African food shop. It’s not quite got the clout or stock of the excellent Lupe Pintos, but it’s pretty interesting nonetheless. Just wandering around it (and it’s absolutely tiny) made me feel happy. The lady running the place was great, really friendly and helpful.
They stock all sorts of African delicacies — jerk seasoning, palm oil, semolina flour (which you can get a lot cheap elsewhere) and plenty of other dried stuff. They also have all kinds of African fruit and veg — yams, okra, coconuts and so on. It’s a great little shop, it has to be said. I was particuarly enchanted by the African wig collection. Going to the next fancy dress party as a huggy bear. Although I’ll probably look more like one of the Scouse guys from Harry Enfield. Well worth a visit.

MaDeb is the first African food shop I’ve encountered in Edinburgh. I don’t know very much about African food, but to my untutored eye, this place seems to tick the ‘authentic’ box, with its sparse interior, nonchalant staff and shelves full of unfamiliar foodstuffs. They have bottles of bright red palm oil, huge bags of dried beans, jars of semolina and fufu flour, giant yams, and other items I couldn’t identify.
The most intriguing thing I saw was a vial of medicine from Ghana that promised to cure «phlegm, achy limbs and sexual weakness.» They also have an extensive range of African hair products.
