Different communities in Kenya have different menus but the most popular foods are what im going to talk about. Ugali is a very popular food made of ground Maize flour and water it turns into a cake form after being cooked. You simply cook the flour in in boiled water until it hardens. This a simple food eaten all over Kenya. Githeri, is made of boiled maize and beans which is a popular dish in the central province eaten by a tribe called the Kikuyus. Mukimo is a mashed version of Githeri, Its made with mashed maize and beans with potatoes or cooked bananas. A popular drink in Kenya is called Mursik which is made of fermented milk and charcoal which is made by the Kalenjins of Kenya. The Luhya's of Western Kenya love this meal called Ingoho which is chicken, They cook this for special visitors. Wali rice is popular at the coast because it is cooked with coconut milk which are freshly found here. Kachumbari is made of a mixture of chopped tomatoes, onions, peppers, parsley and sometimes avocado, This is served with Nyama Choma. Nyama Choma is what they call roast meat, Mostly Beef as it is the cheapest meat in Kenya compared to Fish and Chicken.
