Finding Traditional Foods
This directory provides information about food businesses in the
Illawarra area – between Kiama and Thirroul - who sell, or can obtain,
traditional Sub-Saharan African foods, Asian, Indian or Halal foods.
Some Sydney markets have been included.
Ask about traditional foods at your local food businesses as many shops
stock or can order traditional foods. Also ask about delivery as many
businesses offer a delivery service directly to your home.
Some food businesses, including large supermarkets and other smaller
businesses, chose not to be included in this directory, even though they
may stock traditional foods.
Many suppliers of traditional foods can be found online. Be sure to
repeat your searches regularly as information online frequently
changes. Some words to use in your search are:
• Traditional food
• African food
• Halal food
