Uganda Cuisine
Like elsewhere in Africa, Ugandan cuisine is regional in nature, with differences as varied as the land itself. Food in Uganda, Africa, consists of an interesting mix of traditional and modern Ugandan cooking styles, with English, Arab, and Asian influences. It's not uncommon to find foods and drinks such as English tea and Asian chapati making regular appearances at the food table.
Meat stews are popular in Uganda and are most often served with rice, chapati, ugali (a typical African maize porridge), and Ugandan matoke—a cooked and mashed mix of plantain and banana. Groundnuts are popular too, as is sesame, which is made into sweets and pastes. Seasonal delicacies such as grasshoppers (Nsenene) and even white ants (Nswaa) are also part of the rich cultures in Uganda.
