LOCAL

Some local dishes to try out: Chipsi Mayai: Omlette made with chips in it- a favourite quick snack.
Chipati na Chai: A greasy thick pancake like snack and sweet milky tea. Popular breakfast
Mandazi: Small, lethal-for-the-cholestrol doughnuts.
Mtori: Banana soup.
Nyama Choma: Pieces of fried meat.
Ugali: Maize porridge.
Wali wa Maharagwe: Beans and rice
  There are two great places for ordering traditional grilled pork (kiti moto). One is down the road from VETA at the highway junction. A kilo of meat with kachumbari salad will cost about 2500/=. The other is on the other side of the air field at Jacana Park. Prices comparable. If you are fond of animals, hold your ears when they slaughter the pig.
  There are also more atmospheric places, fresh and tasty on the Uhindini Road, across from Victory Bookshop, at reasonable prices.
