Because Sibale is very well off by Malawian standards, (they have electricity, water, and even a TV) I get to eat a “large variety of food.”
Breakfast: bread with butter, and tea.
Lunch and dinner: rice or nsima (maize porridge type stuff)
vegetables (they appear to be like spinach & onions)
meat (either chicken or beef)
Since it is Mango season we often eat Mangos for dessert
All the food is prepared by Sibale’s girls, and they never seem to eat at the same time. Actually I haven’t been able to figure out when the older girls eat at all!! The older girls also do a lot of washing, and taking care of little Thandi as well.
Like I said, Sibale is much wealthier than the typical Malawian. Most people’s diet consists of Breakfast: Nsima
Lunch: Nsima
Dinner: Nsima
(That’s assuming that they have enough to eat three times a day, obviously this not always the case)
Sibale has been to America several times, and tells me he is always amazed that people can get any kind of fruit they want even when it is not in season.
I have heard that there is a lot of fish eaten in Malawi, so perhaps I will be adding to my variety in the future.
