Food in Tanzania:
“Ugali” which
is made from mixing boiling water and maize flour to a firm-like
porridge is the staple food in Tanzania. The food is not eaten
on its own and is had with either vegetables or stews, or a combination
of these.
Rice is also popular and is locally known as “Wali”. “Pilau” is
a tasty flavored rice dish and displays the rich cultural background
of the people here. The larger cities have a more extensive selection
of restaurants and in places like Dar es Salaam, you can find
a variety of fast foods including; chips (fries), burgers and
pizza.
There is even a Subway restaurant at the city centre.
Drink:
Ensure you drink boiled or bottled water. Tap water may not
be safe for consumption. There are a number of pubs and night
clubs especially in Dar where you can sample a variety of the
local brews. Beer is very cheap and locally made wine is also
available.
