FOOD!
What a surprise, I tell you. The food here in Uganda is amazing! I really thought I was going to loose weight, but no…
For me being a huge connasseur, the first thing I do when I arrive at exotic places, is to find out what are their food specialities.
And what a discovery here in Soroti!
Me and Vignir have been fortunate enough to eat local food, cooked by locals, every single day since we came to Soroti. Pamela¥s sister and friend have been kind enough to cook for us and line up the local specialities, the next one being better than the last.
Pamela is leaving today, so that means me and Vignir are going to the market today by ourselfs to buy some goods! (Woohoo!) The market here is a gourmet, with fish, vegetables, fruits, beans, corn, meat etc. It¥s really difficult to decide on what to buy each time, because you simply want to buy everything! If we can cook something out of it on coals… that is a different matter…
My favourite food here is samosa, which is minched meat or vegatable fried in an orly triangle. The variety of fish here is also some, but we have only tried the tilapia, which is white soft fish and tastes very good. Matoki are the green bananas, which tastes just like potatoes.
Vignirs¥faourite is Mandas, which is just like icelandic "kleinur"
Well, enough about food…
Till next time.. taka care,
Harps
p.s. promise to post pictures of the school and the house next time. Were starting in the school tomorrow.

connoisseur - love it!
did you manage to bring your portable fondue set?
i was so impressed with your cooking skills, harpa, that i have taken up cooking myself. i even made thai curry!
No, we did not manage to take our fondue set with us... it's just as good, because though the food is really good here, the meat here is not made for fondue!
And yay for you cooking! Can't wait to be invited to dinner when we come visit you in Norway:)
miss you,
Harps
