Chakula!
Every day between 12-13 we are offered lunch in the MS Tanzania Country Office. The idea is really good, as we would loose a lot of time being stuck in traffic trying to get fed.
Rice, beans and ugali - after three months I've concluded that these are the most important Tanzanian food ingredients - and that it might never ever change. Well, sometimes there are small alterations: This Friday the rice and beans came along with dried fish heads.
My colleague took the photo, and consequently I ate a packet of bisquits. Some Danes love African food, even the dried fish heads. So, I cant claim it a cultural thing, but African food is one of my biggest weaknesses. It is embarrasing to admit, but it makes me almost violent to be served dry fish heads. I instantly think things like the kitchen is conspiring against Danish development workers, or why serve dried fish when the Indian Ocean is right next door. It made some sense in northern Uganda, but why here...?
