Wosla

It's traditionally sold at the Babille camel market outside Harar on specific market days, when herders bring animals in from the surrounding lowlands.

Wosla is a Somali-influenced camel dish combining roasted camel meat and hump fat with aromatic rice, a clear camel-broth soup, and a spice blend called kondo, assembled fresh at market-day stalls.

Why it's made this way: Camel trading routes between Harar, the Ogaden and the Somali coast have linked the city to pastoralist camel culture for centuries, and wosla is one of the clearest culinary traces of that connection.
