Ugali

Dan and I just left Ukwala this morning and headed to Kisumu on Lake Victoria.

The primary reason for our departure was that we were searching for 2 things:
1) ANYTHING to eat that is not Ugali
2) A hot shower

Ugali is the staple food here. You mix cornmeal with water, heat, and stir until it becomes solid. Then you form it into a doughy loaf. Sometimes if it is a very special day they also mix in some cassava or millet.

You then eat hunks of ugali with your hands with very salty meat and greens.
Finally the ugali sits in your stomach like a rock....for hours on end.

We just ate really bad pizza in Kisumu...it was the most delicious meal I think I have every had.
