Special food entry

So I basically decided to have an entire blog entry devoted to what I eat in the glorious land of burkina faso. I will have some highlights and some lowlights but all in all I will try to give you a fair picture of the muchies which I eat. First off, we have the delicious to. It really defies description so I included a picture of it with a fabulous baobab leaf sauce. To the left you can see it in all of its rubbery glory. This is what I eat most days out of the week for dinner. Onto my typical Luncho. I randomly hit up sandwich shops around town which can include delicious 'meat' sandwiches or vegetable nonsense. There is also a lovely woman that makes the tastiest avocado sandwiches which I indulge in from time to time. Actually today I had one of the best luncheon experiences here. I munched a delicious plate of benga (translation; beans) with a demi baguette which was crazy retarded good. After that I went and snagged a mango and a couple of sachets of arachide sucre (thats what i call them i dont know the local name but they are basically sugar covered peanuts). It was so incredibly satisfying and it ran me about 350 cfa in total which is about 90 cents. For Bfast I usually just much some bread and boire some nescafe. very simple but it gets the job done. As for some of the high points. We recently had a fourth of July party that was simply amazing. The Mouton that we disassembled for the party truly was the highlight in my opinion. Mohammad, our butcher an all around party engineer put together a brilliant 4 spice rub for it that simply blew my mind. On top of that we had like 7 other courses that were totally phenomenal including tabbouleh, sweet potato fries and mango pie. I also assembled a seriously questionable lemonade that included a 3 dollar bottle of gin. All in all it was a good night.
