I'm a Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 who has stayed half of her life in Malawi 🇲🇼
If I could pick one souvenir food wise it would be this garlic sauce from here in Malawi.
Will make a series of posts on this.

MODERATORS
(I'm in the US). I've been told by multiple friends in multiple countries that they appreciate Reese's Pieces peanut butter candies. The salty-sweet combo is unique and they don't get them often in their countries.
My other go-tos depending on who I'm visiting would be a locally roasted coffee or an over-the-top flavor bomb craft beer. Like my local brewery has a seasonal on rotation right now, "Sprinkled doughnut double spiced oatmeal stout" with a bright, colorful can. My German friend is offended but intrigued by the beers I bring. Usually he gets playfully wound up insisting they don't count as real beer.
I had to Google the Reese candies, they look like Smarties! I'm sure the peanut butter in them makes a unique taste.
That beer sounds super rich. Most visitors to Malawi are intrigued by the local "Kuche Kuche".
I would definitely love some roasted coffee. I haven't had coffee in almost 4 years. I usually drink herbal teas from the farm.
