  • 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.

  • 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.
