Ugandan Cuisine mainly consists of traditional cooking. Like cuisines in most
countries, it varies in complexity, from the most basic starchy filler with a sauce
of beans or meat to several course meals served in upper-class homes and
high end restaurants. Main dishes are usually centered on a sauce or stew of
groundnuts, beans or meat. The starch traditionally comes from Ugali (maize
meal) or matooke (boiled and mashed green banana). Kwon kal, cassava,
yam and African sweet potato in their diet. Chapatti, Asian flat bread is also
part of the Ugandan cuisine. Uganda is proudly known for the number 1 street
delicacy known as Rolex or chapatti wrap. It is in Uganda where Rolexes are
eaten and not worn.
