Food

What did you eat there? A very common question :)  Along with lots of fresh fruit here are some examples:

The first picture below is what we ate nine times out of ten. Lentils, rice, vegetables and chapati (which is a flatbread similar to naan).  Since it is vegetarian, I was happy even if we ate it every day! 

 I do not consider myself an extremely adventurous eater but I did try some new things. One of them was Ethiopian food (2nd picture). You eat with  your hands, tearing off pieces of the thin bread to pick up deliciousness like kale, lentils, and other vegetables. 

The last picture shows a traditional African food called ugali.  It is by far the FAVORITE food of any Kenyan I talked with, so of course I had to try it. And, well.... that's  about all there is to say. It is basically cornmeal mush that takes on the flavor of anything it is eaten with... not the tastiest thing I've had (and I even like bland food!) but I can understand how it is a "comfort food" like mashed potatoes here in the United States.
