Food

While in Kisumu, I ate a lot of Kenyan food (I know, a big shocker since I was in Kenya!). They make everything from scratch and it's really good. I also had a lot of tea. The tea is made with milk and sugar. Usually for breakfast (late, around 9 or 10) or an evening snack, we would have tea and bread with margarine. Dinner is eaten very late, around 9:00 pm. Often it included fish or chicken, sakuma wiki (greens) and ugali - a Kenyan staple. Fish is very popular in Kisumu so I had yummy talapia a few times and tried omena (little tiny fish). One of my favorite meals was beans and chiapatti (a fried tortilla type thing). Whenever we went out, I usually ordered chicken and chips (fries). In Sudan we never have chicken, so I really enjoy eating it when I am in Kenya. I tried to learn how to make a few items and look forward to trying them out in the US.



(This meal we ate while out in town. I had beans anc chiappatti. George had omena, sakuma and ugali. It was a bargain and cost a little over $1.00).



(George made really good fried chicken)
