I don't really know a lot about Uganda. I found what Dr. Kiefer-Boyd told us about Uganda and the many images and videos she shared with our class, to be very interesting. Some of the images of the food market we saw during class made me realize how fresh and how important food is to your culture. It seems like the food is a kind of art. I also think about the beautiful displays of food as well as the produce market when I think of Uganda.

I googled "Ugandan food" and found a very interesting website (above). It shows images of delicious looking Ugandan cuisine and emphasizes that Ugandan recipes are best in Africa. I imagine that has a lot to do with the traditions of recipes, as well as the fresh produce there. It also says that there are "secrets" to the recipes in Africa as well. As I scrolled down the website page, it said that " sundried fish is a delicacy" in some tribes in Uganda in the eastern region. Is that true? I also read that a lot of the food is tied up in banana leaves and then cooked.

I can assume that the food in Uganda holds a big part of traditions there. I am interested in learning more about the food and what you would consider a delicacy? Does this website do a good job of explaining the food culture that you have there? From listening in class and reading this website, it seems to me that bananas are a big part of recipes there.

Here in the United States there are so many different cultures living together that there are so many food "delicacy's". I myself am Italian, Slovak, and Irish. I could imagine that the foods that my family makes corresponding to those cultures might taste differently if we ate them in Italy, Slovakia, or Ireland. Perhaps they hold secrets in their recipes there that we do not know about here in the United States.
