The food is very yummy. I spent some time living in a village outside of the capitol, Kampala, so I primarily ate local food. We would have: rice with red kidney beans or yellow lentils (on a special night), cabbage pan fried with a little bit of tomatoes, Irish potatoes which are really just pan fried potatoes, greens which are just large leafy weeds that grow in the back yard and are cut and pan fried, chapati which is like fried flat bread with onions, on a special day we would have Matoke which is unripe small bananas with the skin cut off and cooked for a very long time in banana leaves, then mashed up along with the Matoke we would have G-Nut sauce, which is peanut sauce, but it would be purple because they left the red skins on. They call is G-Nut because they grow in the ground, hence G-Nut, ground nut Very rarely would they eat meat, but when we did they would cut up the chicken or pork, and cooked on an open fire for sweets we would have mendes, which tastes like funnel cake but instead the dough is cut up into squares and deep fried so it puffs up like a little pillow. All in all the food was great, however it is not a very balanced diet because they cook everything in OIL!!! and lots of it. There are lots of sugar cane (which they munch on all day long), mangoes which they eat unripe with salt, and avocados galore!
