Ugali is a very common local tanzanian food. It's basically very heavy grits made from flour and corn meal. The usual compliment to it is mchicha, which is the greens. This sounds very good to a southern person because it is basically what we eat anyway. Greens and grits..mmm. Anyways, here's how you are supposed to eat it. You pinch off a piece of ugali, roll it into a ball, press your thumb into it and then scoop up a bit of mchicha to go with it. One bite of this and I'm full for the whole day. These are not your grandmas grits, these are like cement with a little more flavor. The mchicha is delicious though.
