When Homework Gets too Much

SUMAKI NA NAZI
N'DIZI
These are not basic foodstuffs

Ami right in thinking, with the aid of google of course, that the first is fish in coconut sauce, and the second is essentially a type of banana. The first certainly sounds nice, i don't think i'd push it away, but the n'dizi sounds more like the staple food of this pair.

To digress a little, when I was in lowland nepal 500-1500m it was a very tropical country, and most of the people were subsistence farmers who'd work most of the year to feed the families, and some would exclusively grow bananas, or oranges, and the diversity in their diet would come from bartering these for what farmers in the area would grow. It wouldn't surprise me then if these N'dizi were only grown by some farmers, and bartered in a similar way, so that a whole community would get some fruit, whilst most of them farmed the more usual crops.

I'm not sure about your boy TM, but I think it's got us lot thinking about the food of Kenya for sure.
