The cuisine of Rwanda is based on local [[staple food]]s produced by subsistence agriculture such as bananas, plantains (known as ''[[ibitoke]]''), [[pulse (legume)|pulse]]s, [[sweet potato]]es, beans, and [[cassava]] (manioc).{{sfn|Adekunle|2007|p=81}} Many Rwandans do not eat meat more than a few times a month.{{sfn|Adekunle|2007|p=81}} For those who live near lakes and have access to fish, [[tilapia]] is popular.{{sfn|Adekunle|2007|p=81}} The potato, thought to have been introduced to Rwanda by German and Belgian [[Second European colonization wave (19th century–20th century)|colonialists]], is very popular.{{sfn|Adekunle|2007|p=13}} [[Ugali]], locally known as ''[[Ubugari]]'' (or ''umutsima'') is common, a paste made from cassava or maize and water to form a [[porridge]]-like consistency that is eaten throughout the African Great Lakes.{{sfn|Auzias|2007|p=74}} ''[[Isombe]]'' is made from mashed cassava leaves and can be served with dried fish, rice, ugali, potatoes etc.{{sfn|Adekunle|2007|p=13}} Lunch is usually a buffet known as ''mélange'', consisting of the above staples and sometimes meat.{{sfn|Briggs|Booth|2006|pp=54–55}} [[Brochette]]s are the most popular food when eating out in the evening, usually made from goat but sometimes [[tripe]], beef, or fish.{{sfn|Briggs|Booth|2006|pp=54–55}}

In rural areas, many bars have a brochette seller responsible for tending and slaughtering the goats, skewering and [[barbecue|barbecuing]] the meat, and serving it with grilled bananas.{{sfn|Anyango|2010}} Milk, particularly in a fermented yoghurt form called ''[[ikivuguto]]'', is a common drink throughout the country.{{sfn|Nzabuheraheza|2005}} Other drinks include a traditional beer called Ikigage made from sorghum and ''[[urwagwa]]'', made from bananas, and a soft drink called Umutobe which is banana juice; these popular drinks feature in traditional rituals and ceremonies.{{sfn|Adekunle|2007|p=13}} The major drinks manufacturer in Rwanda is [[Bralirwa]], which was established in the 1950s, a Heineken partner, and is now listed on the [[Rwandan Stock Exchange]].{{sfn|Bralirwa (I)}} Bralirwa manufactures [[soft drink]] products from [[The Coca-Cola Company]], under licence, including [[Coca-Cola]], [[Fanta]], and [[Sprite (soft drink)|Sprite]],{{sfn|Bralirwa (II)}} and a range of beers including [[Primus beer|Primus]], [[Mützig beer|Mützig]], [[Amstel Brewery|Amstel]], and [[Turbo King]].{{sfn|Bralirwa (III)}} In 2009 a new brewery, [[Brasseries des Mille Collines]] (BMC) opened, manufacturing [[Skol]] beer and a local version known as [[Skol Gatanu]];{{sfn|Ngarambe|2012}} BMC is now owned by Belgian company [[Unibra]].{{sfn|Craig|2012}} [[East African Breweries]] also operate in the country, importing [[Guinness]], [[Tusker (beer)|Tusker]], and [[Bell (beer)|Bell]], as well as [[whisky]] and [[Distilled beverage|spirit]]s.{{sfn|Kezio-Musoke|2014}}
