Some food / meal memories

A few folks in our group joked about me taking pictures of our food / meals. But, I wanted to remember it! We had chicken once the whole week. All the vegetables were fresh from the farm and our meals were prepared from scratch. Overall, I would say the food was a bit bland but delicious.

A luxury to many Kenyans

Fresh from the tree

Delicious fresh pineapple almost daily. The core that I have always know as hard and tasteless, is soft and delicious - almost melts in your mouth!

Very good ... I would buy it here if I could!



Chapati - a round, flat unleavened bread cooked on a griddle to a soft brown color


The purple potato - ndũma (taro root) known in Kenya as arrowroot and Kachumbari (Cabbage salad)

I don't know how these potatoes were cooked, but they were delicious. Baked? Fried? Crunchy outside, but not greasy at all.

We had green beans almost every day and every time with this tomato base.

Ugali - a semi-hard cake made of maize (corn) flour or millet flour. It's a favorite meal for all Kenyans. Served with a tomato stew, kale and fresh pineapple.
