Seems like ages ago I was in Uganda! I am glad you found these old posts and are enjoying them – I hope they are not too outdated hehe

I’ve been reading up on your blog preparing for my trip to India. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled on your trip to Uganda! I am a Peace Corps Volunteer serving in Uganda since June 2015. I agree rafting the Nile River is a must and you did it with the very best (NRE). My heart got all excited when I saw your picture from the balcony of the River Camp. That place is one of my all time favorite hostels and I’ve been fortunate to stay there many times. Thank you so much for sharing your experience here! Safe travels and keep blogging my friend. :)

It looks so yummy and delicious. I love to cook on weekends and so far I’ve been to Indonesian cooking classes which I really enjoyed!

Sometimes I think it’s like chewing on tree bark haha but I love raw sugar!

We have sugarcane here too, growing at the resort I work at. Every once in awhile our boat captain will get a hankering for it and go chop some down for us. I love it!

Don’t know if I tried katogo or not, it doesn’t ring a bell. I didn’t like the motooke, but LOVE gnut sauce! yum! I’m glad this post brought you back to such an awesome place!

I went back and forth between Jinja and a village two hours north of Jinja, and oh how I remember living off of rice and cabbage! Did you try Katogo? That was my favorite, especially eaten with beans or fish if I was lucky. My lease favorite…Matooke and G’nut sauce. I know, but I never got into it!

Yeah it’s great they at least get the protein from the peanuts since they rarely have meat!

THey weren’t bad… crispy and the butter they were fried in made it taste like any fried food. It’s the legs and antennae you have to swallow that is a little but hard.

– food looks fantastic and extremely healthy – just like you would find in a Westside movie star health food vegie vegan restaurant.

BTW – you are one spunky chick (in a good way)

During my two years in Cambodia I learned so much more about the people and the country by cooking with locals in their villages then I ever could have by just reading Lonely Planet. And it is fun, because usually the kitchen is very different to your bog standard kitchen in Europe. :-)

I love the comment about the Aunty would beat you for being so bad at chopping and then the 4 year old being better! ha!
