The plight of a food lover

Ask me how the food in Uganda is, and I'll tell you that it's pretty good. Having eaten largely Italian, Chinese and Indian food here though, I wouldn't trust that answer. Whether Ugandan food is any good is another question entirely, you see.

My answer to that would have to be no. Fact is that there's something very bland about the taste of food here, with everything lacking any taste of its own. The meat tastes of meat, and the carbohydrates taste like carbohydrates; that's as far as I'll take this very colorful description. It's almost as if they go out of their way to make food as nondescript as possible.

A bit of salt, some spices, a little gravy - the slightest touch would do wonders for the taste buds. Until such a time comes around, I'll stick to my Italian, Chinese and Indian.
