Posho (white cornmeal cooked to be a tofu-like consistency) and beans
Matooke (before it is cooked, it looks exactly like a banana)
Matooke (once it is cooked, it looks more like mashed potatoes, but it does not taste anything like them) covered with groundnut sauce (like a hot peanut butter sauce).
Chapatis (similar to tortillas) – my personal favorite
All to say, after three months, I decided my body wasn’t used to this kind of food. I was so tired every day after lunch (right when I was supposed to teach) and was never hungry for dinner. I enjoyed eating in the dining hall but my body could no longer take it. I still enjoy the evening meals with the children and their families. I also really enjoy the play time after dinner. It gives me a good chance to get to know the children.

I am SO glad that you aren't eating lunch there anymore!!! Although, those chapatis were AMAZING! Maybe you can sneak in on that meal!!!
OK....so I'll "Flat-Stanley" myseslf and come and take you out for chapatis and matooke, and whatever it is they drink. I think I'll have to pass on the posho, though..... :-)
Well I cant wait to try some of these things first hand! More importantly i cant wait to see you!! Glad you are taking a break from the dining hall :)
So what will you do now? I'm thinking there isn't a Micky D's to run to?
