Alloco

Alloco is a Ivorian snack made from fried plantain. It is often served with chili pepper and onions. It is predominantly popular in the Ivory Coast and the surrounding African nations.

Alloco is widely used as fast-food and is sold on the Streets of Côte d'Ivoire. An area with many grilled meat and alloco food vendors in the Cocody neighborhood is named allocodromo after this dish.
