Tanzanian Cooking

Hamjambo !

Hi. Last week we had a cooking lesson.

Our Swahili teacher taught us how to cook Tanzanian food. We made a sort of stew with beef and banana, onion salad, curry with tomate, okra and beef, okura soup, chapati and spice milk tea.

The banana we cooked was very hard, and we had to peel their skin by knife. The taste and texture of the cooked banana was like potate. In Japan, we think banana is just a fruit and never cook them, so it was interesting for us to taste cooked banana.

During the cooking, we learned several expressions and words in Kiswahili. Next week, we are supposed to do a short presentation about our mission in Tanzania in Kiswahili.

By the way, I will leave for Tanzania on 24 June.

Have a nice weekend.

Tutaonana tena.
