Kenyan Food



Lately, we have been immensely enjoying Kenyan food. On Saturday, we went to our Kenyan friend Kezi's house. Lunch included beef stew, rice, cabbage, mashed potatoes, chipatis, and this salsa-like thing called kachubari. Chipatis are yummy bread-like things similar to a thick tortilla. They are amazing!! All of the food was made over a fireplace (see picture). After the meal, we had the chai (Kenyan tea). Chai is hot tea with a lot of milk in it. It is yummy, and the Kenyans have it all the time. When we finished our chai, we washed the dishes. There was not sink, just two bowls of water: one for washing and the other for rinsing. After that, we prayed for Kezi and her family.
Yesterday, we went to another another Kenyan family's house for dinner. They served the same kind of food with the addition of chicken. Everything was again delicious.
