The food Now I will tell you about the Tanzanian food, which was also one of the biggest changes for me and is. A new country is also a new food culture.
The first meal of the day is known to the breakfast. Breakfast is of course known and it is here also had breakfast, not only in the large sense as we know it from Germany. During the week breakfast is actually not really because after getting up it goes straight to work. On weekends or days off work but there is a small breakfast. For breakfast there is always tea, black tea typically Tanzanian, which one does not drink without sugar - two tablespoons of sugar piled here normally. At the tea are eaten different small bites. The delicious snacks are Maandasis how Krebbel or Berlin, the dough is baked in fat, almost as good as grandma's Krebbel at Mardi Gras. Another Frühstücksmahl are chapatis, greasy pancakes, you can eat delicious without ingredients. But you can be eaten at other meals, for example, with beans. These are the two main buffet meals I have met here. However, Tanzanians also like to eat soup or meat broth in the morning, what matters at all with me. I'm still on "Sweet Breakfast".
The lunch is very big. During the week I eat lunch at school. The school food is very monotonous and not very diverse. Monday is my favorite day, because there is rice with tomato sauce and small pieces of meat, which is really the best school lunch. From Tuesday to Thursday there is simply rice with beans and on Friday, on my "Horrortag", there is pure with maize and beans. For me it is not at all pure, but you can eat two or three spoonfuls of it, so that the stomach is not empty. The food is perfect and has gewürzlos not particularly taste. It amazes me that children eat that, but they also know nothing and do the orphans is the only meal of the day.
evening is always eaten hot, so I get home at night is still a hot meal. This rice tastes better with beans, for example, than at school, as it is stirred into the sauce to the beans crushed coconut. It tastes very much better then. A full meal is delicious spice it here Pilão. The rice is cooked along with many spices and meat. He is then eaten with small cut tomatoes and onions. Actually, only rice is almost here eaten, but there are of course other foods, such as the National Eating Tanzania, for example, ugali. This is a mush, which you can cure. It is eaten with the fingers and then knead it means beautiful. Together with meat or fish and vegetables, he is tolerable, for pure I would not get him down. On the whole it is a very unusual meals, as everything else here. Noodles have not enforced here, but it gives off a kind and spaghetti. When I first got noodles on the table, I was happy right. When I asked to eat, however, started only a problem for me out - the noodles were cooked without salt. After I then doubled the sauce and some salt was made to that is fine. If I'm going to eat me, what I actually do often times, I order mostly Chipsi. The fries are really only as something done differently, fried small potato in the fat. They taste very delicious and the fries are very close. These can then order as Mischinjaki, those are chicken meat on a spit or scrambled eggs or. Chicken is a popular food. It is available everywhere and freshly slaughtered. Chicken here is completely eaten everything from head to toe. When I saw the first nibble Flora chicken feet, I was quite funny. Here, nothing is left over, whether head Neck or foot, you can eat them. Even when all meat is eaten, the bones are worn away completely and the soft even chewed small. To me it seems so that people here simply have no real sense of taste or is only just dull.
But what is absolute madness, are the fruit. Unbelievable what a pleasure. Pineapples, mangoes, papayas, passionfruit, melons, bananas, organs, sugar cane. All these fruits can you buy anywhere on the roads, and to what prices. They are all freshly harvested all and really juicy. In Germany, I've had for example never been so tasty pineapple.
