About a quarter of the people practice Taoism and Confucianism and other traditional religions.
Main Religions in Tanzania are Christianity and Muslim
The Christian population is mostly composed of Roman Catholics and Protestants. Among Protestants, the large
number ofLutheransandMorovianspoints to the German past of the country, while the number of Anglicanspoint
to the British history of Tanganyika.Pentecostals andadventistsare also present due to missionary activity. All of
them have had some influence in varying degrees from the Walokole movement (East African Revival), which has
also been fertile ground for the spread of charismatic and Pentecostal groupsOn the mainland, Muslim communities
are concentrated in coastal areas; there are also some large Muslim majorities in inland urban areas and along the
former caravan routes. A large majority of the Muslim population is Sunni. The Muslim population of Dar es Salaam,

usually composed of corn and is similar in consistency to a stiff paste or porridge, giving
it its second name of corn meal porridge. Mixtures of cassava and millet flours are
locally used for ugali. Rice and cooked green bananas are also important staples. Beef,
goat meat, beans, yoghurt, and a wide range of fish and green leafy vegetables all add
nutrients to the dishes.
Among the main styles of Chinese cooking are Cantonese, which features stir-fried
dishes, and Szechuan, which relies heavily on use of peanuts, sesame paste and ginger
and is known for its spiciness.
Then comes Rice. It is a staple of their diet, as are bean sprouts, cabbage and scallions.
Because they do not consume a lot of meat occasionally pork or chicken tofu is a
main source of protein for the Chinese.
