Chapati and Chips Mayai
Ok, so the best thing about being able to travel is getting to meet new people and learn about new cultures. But, in a close second, the next best thing is getting to try all kinds of awesome new foods! (Yes, the quickest way to my heart is through the stomach!). I ran across a couple new dishes in Tanzania that quickly stole my heart!
This is chapati, and it's probably one of the best things to ever happen to my life! (I'm only slightly exaggerating). I suppose the best way to describe it for the North Americans out there is that it's like Africa's version of a burrito. You cook meat in a spicy sauce and wrap it up in a homemade tortilla-like wrap. Delicious...
And then there's chips mayai (the plate on the left). In short, it's basically a french fry omelette. How have these not caught on in the States yet? I mean, we are the kings of the greasiest, most unhealthy foods, right? Well, it really is a shame that we don't have these in America because they are SO good!
