EATING THE KENYAN WAY
Kenyan food is a meeting of different cultures. A popular meal might be a meat dish, usually served as a stew, accompanied by potatoes, rice, or a dish known to all Kenyans, ugali. Ugali is a steamed corn meal, similar in texture to dough.

On the coast, spiced rice and fish are often eaten with chapati, a pancake of flour and water. Curried stew is also popular, as is a dish called githeri, made from beans, maize and vegetables. Soup, mostly broth with spices, is also eaten in Kenya.

The national drink is tea, or chai. Chai is prepared like a soup. Sugar, tea, ginger, and milk are added to cold water and the mixture is brought to a boil and served piping hot. Kenya's warm climate provides a delicious assortment of tropical fruits. Mangoes, known as maembe, paipai or papaya, pasheni or passion fruit, ndizi or bananas and stafeli or custard apples are widely available.

 Nyama choma, or barbecued shish kebab of goat's meat, is a popular food to offer guests. Once you pick the part that you prefer, the meat is roasted and served in bite-sized pieces and served with ugali or curried stew.
