Food recommendations in Uganda




It is perfectly ok to eat any food you want in Uganda ,Ugandan food is the arguably the best in not only Africa but the whole world, It is only in Uganda that you will find a variety of real food not junk but food up to 50 dishes that can be made from the pearl of Africa.  Given the vast variety of cultures Uganda provides a variety of not only dressing, manners, language and skin color but also dishes are in plenty.

Nearly every tribe or region has a delicacy or specialty. They include yummy banana dishes, stews, pastes and juicy fruits and drinks. The most delicacy is plantain or the bananas (matooke) this is the most expensive and widely liked food across Africa it is planted in large numbers and preserved to the best. Matooke is mostly liked by the big tribe the Baganda, they take time in preparing it from peeling to tying in plantain leaves and steaming it for hours this keeps all the flavors intact. When ready and tender, the matooke is smashed into a soft and golden yellow mash. In Buganda, the food production process revolves around the banana plants. It is served with all stews that can be made however this delicacy is best served with chicken or beef however most Ugandans being middle and low income earners do not take this stew every day, this is served with groundnut paste mixed with gold fish or fish , beans or vegetables.

Leaving alone the delicacy in matooke Uganda has got much more food than the rainbow its self , matooke, cassava, posho (corn bread),  sweet potatoes, yams, irish potatoes, Wild yam(balugu),millet(karo),sorghum not forgetting the famous rolex these dished are served with fish, green vegitables, beans, ground nuts, beef, chicken, peas, ghee(eshabwe), mushrooms, gold fish(mukeene, enkejje)Ugandans have a chance to enjoy different varieties of fish as a supplement of Uganda food varieties.

In western Uganda among the Banyankole , Bakiga and Batooro and most of the north and east like Acholi , Alur, Langi , millet bread is the favored dish  it is sometimes mixed with cassava and then mingled or taking cassava bread or millet brad alone. The best relish to go with it would be smoked meat, chicken or fish for the north most people in the western Uganda do not eat fish with a theory that it can be seeing them in the plate. In western Uganda, equally tasty sauces are scraped out of cow butter and salt to make eshabwe which is best served with millet. This is the most cherished stew in western Uganda.

Surprisingly the Bahima of western Uganda are not a particularly meat-eating tribe like the Karimojong of the northeast - who enjoy it by the chunk - although they keep cows in their thousands. Instead, they prefer a diet of milk, beans, matooke and some millet bread
In the north, smoked beef is skillfully seasoned with a rich sauce of milled sim-sim (sesame) paste and dark green bitter vegetables. In the eastern region, the people of Teso add a light sauce of tamarind fruit which is plenty in those dry areas. A variety of edible sorghum is often used by some tribes in the east and northeast where the climate makes it impossible to afford the luxury of growing millet.

All these foods can be made as main dishes, starters, dissert, snacks and stew, fast foods and juice at the same time, while in Uganda do not forget to try out all the delicacies at eat one, however take caution this food is so nice that it will roué you into eating a lot and you forget about a your health, please be mind full of what you eat like the vegans and allergies most foods have gluten while on a guided tripin Uganda ask your driver for more information about the food to avoid sickness.
