I'm not at all sure what to think of it. Not bad... not phantasmagorically wonderful.
Have you experimented thus?
Fish... and *banana*??

One that I remember is porridge and snails
But snails, IME, simply taste of lightly-cooked rubber bands with lots and lots of
garlic, not to mention fluid grease. Porridge and fried bacon, maybe....

I see. That BBC article says "An international panel of chefs, food critics and
restaurateurs voted for the top 50 best places to eat in the world - with the
UK scooping three of the top 10 spots.". I am not sure how the international
panel of worthies arrice at their conclusions. Does "the best place to eat"
have to do with money, fashion, food, taste, company, mood - or what, I
wonder? Some of my best experiences have involved food that is basic, to
say the least, and dirt cheap (abroad, you may guess). Some have been at
home (or not far away) and have involved complicated dishes and some
expense. I am tending to the conclusion that the former sorts are the more
interesting - although there are lots of influential factors in any "meal".

If you ate them in Harare, I can almost guarantee they didn't contain snails! The loveliest, freshest vegetables, I'll bet....but no escargot! :wah:

Same concept. My Kenyan friends cooked it for me at their home in Nairobi. It's an interesting thing....much like eating grits or gruel. One of those dishes clever cooks create to use tiny bits and bobs of leftovers.
And by the way, I don't understand how Mugabe has remained alive. Certainly SOME of his people can see what he's done. It's a pity...

Bananas are nice with peanut butter! 
They stop the peanut butter from being so dry!
