Rwandan Food

Introduction:

When I first arrived in Rwanda, I was surprised at the variety of food there was. For instance, in my small town, I can find traditional Rwandan food, American food, Italian food, Chinese food and Korean food. It goes to show how many different cultures and people are able to feel welcomed in Rwanda.

What food did I try?:

One traditional Rwandan food I tried was ugali, which is cassava dough, served with meat and beans. You grab a piece of it with your hands and eat it by scooping up some meat with it. However, most of my meals are a blend of traditional Rwandan food and "western" or American food. For a typical lunch, I usually eat potatoes served with some kind of meat, with a plate of fruit after.
