You have to do Equatorial Guinea for a Spanish class??

Equatorial Guinea is a small place, so it's hard to find endemic recipes.

The "World Cookbook For Students" has a few possibilities: http://content.yudu.com/Library/A1he6...
(You may need to poke around a bit to figure out how to navigate in that site.... I did.)

Cook some really rich and very poor food to showcase the dichotomy of Equatorial Guinean society. They have the highest GDP per capita yet most of the country is poor as hell.

When I saw this post it reminded me of the Cuy (Guinea Pig) I recently had in Ecuador ;o) I know you are looking for a different area, but Equator/Guinea...lol

Here are some sites w/info about EG food:

Check your local library for The World Cookbook for Students. The summary notes list Equatoral Guinea in the contents and says:
Each article includes foodstuffs (staples, meats, fish, dairy products, vegetables, fruits and seasonings), typical dishes, and styles of eating. Approximately 5 recipes are provided per country or group.

Searching for recipes of Central Africa will give you more options:

I don't have any answers, but this is somehow one of the funniest subject lines I've ever seen. Only on Chowhound! ;)

I'm glad you're amused, though my daughter most definitely was not. She says all her classmates were assigned to find recipes from Spain, Mexico, South American countries, etc. etc...and SHE got Equatorial Guinea!!!

[dingey]

That is so incredibly harsh! Sorry to be so unhelpful, and giggling at the misfortune...it was just the combination of the request, and the fact that some poor kid actually received such an obtuse and seemingly impossible assignment for a school project! "We need you to physically demonstrate a Sysyphean task...no seriously, kid. You need to go push a boulder up a mountain. You'll have the semester, and your entire grade depends upon it..."

[Cakegirl]

Yeah...I told her that I thought the teacher gave her this seemingly impossible assignment because he knows she is a great student and can handle it (which I believe is really why he did it). But being a teenager, that doesn't make her feel any better!!
