I really thought you were in Uganda lol...you nailed the pronunciation of all the food. I miss this food.
We need more ppl like you. Im Asian myself and I think Africa is a painfully underrated continent. I really wish more people can give Africa a chance, and I hardly see other Asians travel to unique places in Africa, so Im so glad you showed us this
Thanks. I appreciate it. Please continue to follow my channel to see the other African foods soon!
This comment made my day. As an African, I'm grateful
Oooh you sound so good, i know we have weaknesses as any other country but we are under rated as you said

Tongan 🇹🇴 American 🇺🇸 here. I had the honor and blessing of living in Uganda on a service mission. I love the people of Uganda and their food is EXQUISITE. Thank you for this video!
I'm so glad to see how the internet helps us experience what african cuisine is like. While the big media doesn't recognize African cultures , small bloggers are doing it willingly , and channels like yours will gain followers because of it.

A big thank you Rockstar for that exposure to the global village. Great food keep it up Mrs Walusimbi. My only suggestion is that the seating area can do with some simple but good facelift; tables, sofas, lighting and the drive & parking area.

Uganda has the best Pineapple in the world.You shoud come here to taste that.I have enjoyed the video
Thanks. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
Agree was in Uganda for 3 months. Ate pineapple everyday! Blew my mind how good it was!!!
Those are not plantains, matooke are the green bananas that we enjoy a lot in Uganda
Thanks for the info. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
It's in the plantain family home but Ugandans are used to call it green bandanas which is right also
@@trendeous4070 plantain is gonja even when you cook it when it's still green, it's hard it doesn't have a soft texture like matooke, even kivuvu is not the same as gonja, matooke is a green banana, their are so many types of bananas and they all shouldn't be called plantain!
@@4triangle588 matooke are matooke, people mistake matooke with other bananas. We have a lot of bananas in Uganda and we don't know all of their names in English. Gonja, Ndizi, bogoya, kivuvu, kayinja, matooke, and even red bananas which I don't know in luganda. And all that we eat it differently, some of them we don't eat them, we make wine.
@@rosemutonyi655 very true there's also Kisubi,
And in bananas we have types like nakitembe, nakinyika, musakala 😀😀😀😂 etc
I hope you can also feature Ethiopian food right there on Fairfax District.
You just made me very hungry 😋
