Sukuma Wiki, Ugali and Fresh Goat
as part of a New-Year's Day Wedding breakfast in a godforsaken corner of Kenya, which I'd just spent 3 hours driving to in a knackered old 4WD over unmade 'roads', having set off at 8 am with no sleep and still drunk from the party.

Ugali is a maize porridge, grey-beige in colour, and is much less tasty than it looks. Sukuma Wiki is green slop, made from kale. It is not the hangover breakfast of your dreams.

The wedding service took 3 hours in a church made from corrugated metal more or less on the equator. It was hot. I had things happening in my tummy involving sukuma wiki, ugali, Kenyan Guinness and cheap Scotch, so I quietly snuck out.

Just in time to see the goat for the wedding feast being slaughtered. Blooarrgh.

But after a couple of hours kip and a frankly alarming poo(colour / smell / consistency), I felt great.

Fresh goat with all the trimmings (flies mostly) was one of the most satisfying meals I've ever had.

my favourite meal
but the ugali shouldn't be cooked like that, should have been done so it's soft but firm like a cake so you can mold it with your hands and spoon the greens and goat with it. Also works with scrambled egg instead of meat as a cheaper option. delicious
