In praise of Ugandan lunches

Every day, lunch is delivered to the AAC & Kilimo Trust offices. With minor variations, it is always the same: fish stew, matooke (pulped cooking bananas), rice and other carbohydrates, fresh vegetables, beans and either a beef of chicken stew, together with some fresh fruit to follow. It may not sound very exciting, but three factors make it the best regular lunch I have ever had:
1. Freshness: all the ingredients are completely fresh - and most grown without the use of many chemicals or fertilisers.
2. Matooke: a fantastic staple food, packed full of fibre, and incredibly good for digestion
3. Pearl Chilli and Garlic sauce: manufactured in Uganda by Reco Industries in Kasese and quite honestly the best bottled sauce anywhere on the planet.
Marvellous, low-cost, fresh and healthy - how food should be. My advice: eat Ugandan!
