My favourite food is…
Well prepared luwombo with a cold glass of juice
The food I can cook best is….
Steamed matooke
My feel good treat is…
Nothing beats well-cooked luwombo with cold juice
The weirdest food I have ever eaten is…
I am picky on what I eat so nothing really
The food I will never eat is…
Anything weird to my society, like strange sea foods
The food I would love to try out is….
None for now
