Food in Tanzania



We are eating very well here at the Kunduchi Beach Hotel and Resort; indeed that is one reason that we chose this place over others. Lots of fresh fruit in the morning: papaya, mango, pineapple and watermelon; masala tea (my favorite morning drink in East Africa - though this one is not quite strong enough), fresh maandazi (the ubiquitous fried dough otherwise known as vetkoekies in southern Africa) and various hot and cold breakfast foods. For lunch there is a buffet every ay that includes one long table of Tanzanian dishes. So we have had cabbage in peanut sauce, cassava leaves in coconut milk, plantains, ugali (pap) or rice or chapatis, every kind of chicken, fish and beef, as well as salads and more fruit and cakes for dessert. At the workshop we have two tea breaks a day, and then Mave and Kuno usually want something from the snack menu in the evening, after working up an appetite on the beach or in the pool. So on the patio under the cool ocean breeze, we can order samosas, masala chips and more.
