Postscript

Before we arrived, we wondered what typical meals were like in Kenya. We’re finding that we usually eat the same kinds of things we ate at home. However, at lunch-time we sometimes take advantage of the food service at our office, and they serve typical Kenyan food.

Here are some foods many people eat in Kenya and in other parts of East Africa:

• Ugali: a thick and stiff corn-meal mash
• Chapati: a large round flat bread
• Sukuma Wiki: kale, collard greens or other dark greens cooked in oil with onions and peppers. It looks a lot like spinach.
• Beans and Rice
• Samosas: a triangular dumpling with vegetables or meat inside
• Chai: Kenyan tea with milk
• Pilau: spiced rice

Samosas and pilau are some of our new favorites.
