In this Uganda food guide we've put together information that will help you appreciate the new foods and cuisine you will find in Uganda. We want you to understand and be able to critic the Menu items at the very first African restaurant where you will eat dinner from during your business trip to Africa...

Imagine being foreign, on your first trip to Uganda, Africa and yet well able to order some popular Uganda traditional food like Matooke, and further insisting that it should be steamed (Ensaanike/Enyige) and served with Beef Luwombo...

Your waitress would most certainly freakout on your request and become extremely cautious when serving you...!

You will find info about the common foods eaten in Uganda and recipes for the dishes that are normally made out of these Uganda foods.

For your bonus, one great way you will be able to quickly learn the African culture as you do your business, is to learn the Uganda Cuisine.

You will almost never make a meaningful function in Uganda, be it...

• Home/Family get-together party,
• School Party,
• Sports Party,
• Christmas Party,
• Easter Party,
• Other Religious Party,
• Burial Ceremony , or
• any African cultural function without serving something to eat.

And for sure if you get the food Cooking correct on your function in Uganda... , then you've made a successful occasion by a distinction.
