Swahili Food and Drink, Part 3

Last week we continued our Swahili food- and drink-related lesson, and this week we wrap that up with a few more foods.

*Ugali and Skuma Wiki are the primary dinner foods you would eat while in Kenya on an expedition with World of Difference; although you will probably more often hear them referred to as "that white stuff" and "that green stuff"! Ugali is a a doughy, corn-based bread and sukuma wiki is a dish made with collard greens or kale. The literal translation of "sukuma wiki" is "push the weak", which reminds me of Popeye and his spinach a bit! This is a picture of ugali and sukuma wiki getting served up for the children at a school we assist in Nairobi:

Next week we will will will start to learn the days of the week :)
