What a great day. Today, the children had a meal of rice, meat, potatoes, and beans. The only time they get such a meal is Christmas and when we come to visit. Every other day of the year, they will eat ugali and beans. Ugali is a type of bread substitute. It is made by boiling water and adding the correct amount of maze flour. It is cooked to the consistency of a very solid bread dough.
You break off palm sized portions and dip it into the beans juice. It is filling but doesn’t have much taste. Bev and I ate it a number of times on this trip, only we had cut up cow meat and sauce (juice) to dip it in. All their meals are eaten with their hands.
