Technological advances in food conservation have led to radical changes in eating habits in the capital of Gabon. A novel baking technique using microwave ovens has led to a revolution in bread production and distribution. As of 1987, fifty stands called "Hot Shows" (from the French term "Chaud Show") mushroomed throughout the city, selling crisp baguettes and pastries. Along with the more traditional-style bakeries, they have become new areas of urban life. Futhermore, the large proportion of domestic freezers (by African standards, with GNP reaching 5000 dollars per year per person, due to petroleum revenues) has resulted in new ways of buying and preparing food. Freezing has enabled women (most of whom work) to save time, as has the use of bread, taking over from traditional foods. Imports of low-cost frozen meat from the European Union have also affected street food vendors. However cultural loyalties to local produce have by no means disappeared. Eating habits have simple become mixed. (Résumé d'auteur)
