  • Recipes & Cuisine [PDF]
    Ugandan Customs and Cuisine Ugandan cuisine is quite the melting pot, taking culinary influences from the Arabs, British, and especially India. The Indian traders left their mark on the region as they introduced their curries, spice blends, and breads. The food is not typically spicy, but seasoned with tomatoes and onions to create flavorful, pleasing dishes. Their diet is based on a combination of a starch and a “sauce” at each meal. The starch may consist of Ugali (a type of cornmeal paste) or Matooke (mashed plantain), and is always topped with a sauce or stew made of groundnuts (peanuts), vegetables, or meat. Although Uganda is home to the largest fresh water lake in the world, the lake has been over- fished, and fresh fish is very hard to obtain unless you live near to the source. But smoked fish can be found quite readily and is often added to a dish containing meat or beans to add complexity and depth. Chicken, beef, goat and mutton are all part of the diet, although among the rural poor meat would not be eaten every day. Cattle are considered a sign of wealth, and not consumed in the everyday diet. Other commonly found foods include bananas, pineapple, beans, cassava, sweet potatoes, cabbage and spinach. Groundnuts are a vital staple and are most often turned into a sauce. Rice is expensive and not typically consumed. Most people, except a few who live in urban centers, produce their own food and generally eat two meals a day, lunch and supper. Breakfast is often a cup of tea or porridge.

  • Old Boys' Association Newsletter
    Old Boys’ Association Newsletter October 2017 THE PRESIDENT 2017—18 Martin Blake Martin attended Belfast Royal Academy from 1960 to 1967. In his early years he found himself in a geography class taught by the Headmaster, J.W. Darbyshire, who took a dim view of his choice of map colours. Neither was aware that colour blindness rather than carelessness was the cause and so school reports provided painful reading. Fate then played a hand because, as he was young, Martin was permitted to play a second season for the Medallion Shield team. The 1965 team, of which he was captain, became the first Academy team to win a rugby trophy outright. From that moment on, an indul- gent light shone over Master Blake’s head from the Head’s office in the Crombie Building. In 1966 he was awarded the Cricket Bat and the prize for English literature. The following year he was appointed Head Boy and played rugby for Ulster Schools and cricket for Ulster and Irish Schools. After reading law at The Queen’s University, Martin was called to the Northern Ireland Bar and combined a thriving practice with rugby for the Academy Club and cricket for Woodva- le. In 1977 he found romance on the Academy Club tour to Canada and within a few years departed for San Francisco. He became an attorney at law and began legal practice in San Francisco, specializing in civil trial work. He joined The Irish Forum, an American organi- zation dedicated to the peaceful resolution of The Troubles and actively promoted debates among those with whose views he regularly disagreed.

  • Internationalization of African Ethnic Cuisine: a Situation Analysis
    Journal of Research in International Business and Management (ISSN: 2251-0028) Vol. 3(2) pp. 66-72, February, 2013 Available online @http://www.interesjournals.org/JRIBM Copyright ©2013 International Research Journals Full Length Research Paper Internationalization of African ethnic cuisine: A situation analysis *1Geoffrey Bakunda and 2Samson Omuudu Otengei ’ *1Department of Marketing and International Business, Makerere University Business School, Kampala, Uganda. 2Department of Leisure and Hospitality Management, Makerere University Business School, Kampala, Uganda. Abstract Despite a number of benefits, “African food” is not as widely served in public eating places world wide as many others, a situation reflected in the near-total absence of international literature on African cuisine. As a result, African ethnic cuisine is less internationalized. The paper reports on a case study undertaken in one African country Uganda, to assess international visitors’ exposure to African cuisine and their perceptions of requirements to effectively internationalize African ethnic cuisine. The study confirms that international visitors’ exposure to African ethnic cuisine is low and the level of Internationalization primarily influenced by perceived food quality although other aspects also play a part. The paper identifies managerial and policy implications for promoting Internationalization of African ethnic cuisine . Keywords: Internationalization, African Ethnic Cuisine, Africa, Brand strength, international visitors. INTRODUCTION The level of Internationalization of most African Cuisines 2005; Tamar et al., 2001) suggesting that these are has remained low.

  • II. Further Extensions and a Schools' Cup Win 1961-196937
    II. Further Extensions and a Schools’ Cup Win 1961-196937 THE CONTINUING GROWTH OF B.G.S. At a Special Meeting of the Board of Governors in June 1961, following Sam Claney’s retirement, Norman Handforth was elected Chairman of the Board. In anticipation of a further extension, it was also decided to set up three sub-committees for Finance, School and Buildings. Since Mr.Clarke’s appointment in 1954, when there had been 376 pupils in the secondary department, the School population had grown rapidly. Part of the explanation was that, in 1954 almost 30% had left school after Junior Certificate and there had been only a handful of pupils in Upper VI, whereas very few now left after Junior and there was an Upper VI of around 30 boys. By 1963 the School population had exceeded the 500 mark for the first time. 500 was, said Mr.Clarke, the ideal size. It was: ‘large enough to provide numbers for a variety of activities and a variety of subjects in the school curriculum. It is small enough to exist as an integrated family community, where all or most of the members know each other and where the sense of belonging to and being proud of a community can flourish’.40 In 1962 a new ‘Review’ procedure was introduced; if an unqualified pupil could show that he was ‘holding his own with qualified boys of his own age in at least six subjects’, he was granted a scholarship. Also in 1962, 11 out of the 27 unqualified boys in Lower IV gained scholarships, on the results of their Junior Certificate, an examination which was abolished in 1965.

  • Tradition and Modernity in the Domestic Urban Kitchen Design in Uganda
    Tradition and Modernity in the Domestic Urban Kitchen Design in Uganda A case of Kampala Salome Kweyunga Licentiate Thesis in Building Function Analysis KTH, Stockholm, December 2013 TRITA 2013-17 ISSN 1653-6126 ISNR KTH/SoM/13-17/SE ISBN 978-91-7501-985-7 Abstract This thesis studies the design of modern domestic urban kitchens in Uganda. The research took place in Kampala, which is the capital city of Uganda. The cultural make up of Kampala residents is diverse; people come from all over the country of Uganda, as well as beyond. The fieldwork involved investigating daily practices taking place in the domestic urban kitchens of the middle income group. This has been done in order to find out the problems found in using the kitchens so that better designs may be suggested. The thesis addresses mostly, professionals such as architects, who are involved with planning and designing housing, specifically kitchens within them. This work can as well be useful to another country with a similar context to Uganda. It is worth mentioning that kitchen studies started to take place in developed countries about one hundred years ago, yet, they have never been initiated in Uganda, until this moment. The thesis indicates that a kitchen is an important part in a home, which is a busy area, thus demanding a lot of attention in order to be able to get the needed design requirements. While the findings of the thesis are based on the contemporary urban life in Uganda, it is not known what the future will hold; so suggestions are made to benefit contemporary needs.

  • Recipes & Cuisine
    Recipes and Cuisine of Uganda November 2013 Cuisine Ugandan cuisine consists of traditional and modern cooking styles, practices, foods and dishes in Uganda, with English, Arab, Asian and especially Indian influences. Like the cuisines of most countries, it varies in complexity from a simple starchy filler with a sauce of beans or meat, to multi-course meals served in upper-class homes and high-end restaurants. Most tribes in Uganda have their own specialty dish or delicacy. Many dishes include various vegetables, potatoes, yams, bananas and other tropical fruits. Chicken, fish (usually fresh, but there is also a dried variety, reconstituted for stewing), beef, goat and mutton are all commonly eaten, although among the rural poor, meats are consumed less than in other areas. Nyama is the Swahili word for "meat". Main dishes are usually centered on a sauce or stew of groundnuts, beans or meat. The starch traditionally comes from ugali (maize meal) or matooke (boiled and mashed green banana) in the South, or an ugali made from millet in the North. Ugali is cooked up into a thick porridge for breakfast. For main meals, white flour is added to the saucepan and stirred into the ugali until the consistency is firm. It is then turned out onto a serving plate and cut into individual slices (or served onto individual plates in the kitchen). Cassava, yam and African sweet potato are also eaten; the more affluent include white (often called "Irish") potato and rice in their diets. Soybeans were promoted as a healthy food staple in the 1970s and this is also used, especially for breakfast.
