I'm local. I can help you. But maybe we can exchange our knowledge. I'm curious about Mauritan way of cooking. OK :-)

I have a great Slovenian traditional food cook book thays printed in english and breaks down all the traditional dishes from differe regions.
Some are traditionalcuts of meat like all the bits of the animal we dont usually use.
Not sure where you would get those from, but most recipes have standard ingredients.
