For the last 10 days I have been eating out, either at restaurants (known as hotels) or local canteens. Today the engineering college canteen opened, where I will probably be eating most of my meals for the rest of my time in Ujire. I am still unsure about the names of a lot of the foods which has made it difficult when ordering, and it has taken a bit of time to learn the correct technique for eating with my fingers. Most meals consist of a form of carbohydrate, either rice, idli, rotti, buns, dough balls or pancakes, which are dipped in various sauces and vegetable dishes.
Smaller dishes (served with a spoon) include chats, soups, spiced chips, and gobi manchurian - the South Indian interpretation of Chinese. I certainly have not been going hungry! The one meal I am not enjoying much is breakfast, probably because I'm not used to eating anything remotely spicy so early in the morning.
