A "Love Feast" is a traditional Zulu feast to say "thank you." These past two months, we had a summer project from the mid-south of America come help us with the ministry. As they were ending their time, the Ukukanya staff prepared a "Love Feast" to thank them and properly say good-bye. We had...
Samp and Beans: a thick type of porridge made from coarsely ground corn (a staple in South Africa) mixed with beans.
Dombolo: big, round dumpling bread (each one the size of my head, no joke) that is used to soak all the juices left over from the chicken.
Sweet Potato: delicious!
Amadumbe: another type of sweet potato cooked in their skin in the fire.
Beef Curry: dish of beef and vegetables cooked in a thick sauce of strong spices and served with rice.
Boerewors: huge spicy farmers sausage
Zulu Salad: tomato, onion, green bell pepper, and HOT (really HOT) green chili!
Cooked Spinach: fresh from the garden just planted outside
Tripe: also known as intestines (mmm..a delicacy)
Chicken Dust: fried chicken with seasoning (the seasoning is "dusted" on the chicken, hence the name)
Walkie Talkie: chicken feet and head (parts of the chicken that "walk and talk"). everything from nails, beak, and eyes are all still there for the FULL experience
...and let me tell you, we had QUITE the experience.
