What do I have for lunch normally?
I used to head out for lunch but this time around after wasting precious money (and waiting in taxis) on eating out, I've become more homely and decided to eat in a lot more. Yesterday my lovely Japanese colleague made me egg and tuna sandwich which was pretty good. I love eggs and I love tuna. And cucumber.
Lunch options where my office is in downtown Khartoum are extremely limited unless you genuinely enjoy dry bread with falafel/chicken, ful (traditional dish where kidney beans are soaked with oil and cheese) or deep fried fish. Which I honestly don't though the shatta (local chilli paste/sauce) is pretty good. If you ask me, there's really nothing exciting about Sudanese food.
So I do try and make my own lunch. Usually from last night's leftovers. Last night, I made beef patties - minced meat mixed with onions, garlic, coriander,salt and pepper and a splash of chilli powder. I throw the patties into a cosy nest of lettuce, tomatoes, onions cucumbers and sweetcorn and presto - LUNCH!
