My lunch today. / myLot

I've eaten this almost one hour ago. It's now past 2:00 pm. My lunch was kales, one fried tomato and "hard porridge". I was thinking who came up with name hard porridge. We call it "Ugali" in Swahili. It was a nice dish. It makes me feel full quickly.

Yes it is. Maize is our staple food so now we have Ugali in plenty. I'm glad you like it

I`m curious what is the white one there looking like some rice cake and what kind of vegetable is that?

Though. Looks so good to try

The vegetable is kale. The white thing is called hard porridge in English

The hard porridge kind of looks like cheese or ice cream.

@mildredtabitha So it's more or less a kind of bread?

@TheHorse no no no. It's very far from that. The flour is extremely different. The maize flour consists only of grounded maize (when maize is dried and taken to posho mill to change it to flour) it's not anything near bread
