Thought I'd share some info on what we've been eating/drinking...Breakfast has been mostly hot tea with corn flakes in warm powdered milk or bread & butter....nothing special, but it's been good. I am thankful though that breakfast isn't my favorite meal :)
Lunch here isn't really lunch if you don't eat rice, so we've eaten a lot of rice! Usually topped with fish or chicken & a sauce with onions & a side of vegetables.
Dinner is usually the same, but we've had a few european style meals too...the homemade Gambian dishes have been much better though than the restaurants. I've been cooking with Gabou's sister Jahou learning to better make some of the local dishes. Today we made fish benechin (see picture) Delicious!
As for beverages there are coke, fanta & youki sodas & guinness & julbrew beers. Mostly though we're going through a TON of water...thanks dad for the filter, it's not only saved us a bunch of money not having to drink bottled water all of the time, but i'm pretty sure it's also saved our stomachs from getting sick off of the local water.
Man what an experience
