FOOD, SHOPPING & PEOPLE
Eating & drinking in Uganda
Carbs are big here – expect traditional dishes to consist of thick, sticky posho (maize flour paste) or matooke (ground plantain) which you use to mop up sauce – often made with peanuts (called g-nuts or groundnuts)The Indian influence is strong in Uganda – with tasty curry sauces accompanying veg, chicken or goat.
Rolex is the local street food. It’s a kind of omelette rolled up in a chapatti – literally 'rolled eggs'.


People & language
"Weebale" – Thank you
"Nsanyuse okulaba" – Nice to meet you
"Welaaba" – Goodbye
Gifts & shopping
Coffee is Uganda’s number one export. Buy a bag of beans from the excellent Good African Coffee, grown, processed and packaged in Uganda – meaning all income stays in the country.The craft market in Kampala is a great place for wood carvings, beads, cowhorn and other souvenirs – but much of these are imported. Try and buy from communities on your way around Uganda to support local craftspeople.
Banana Boat has three outlets in Kampala. They source high quality crafts from around the country, including bark cloth crafts, banana fibre mats and handmade paper stationery. They support a number of local initiatives.
