The things we eat in N'Zerekore...

So they say: Necessity is the mother of invention.

I needed to eat. I couldn't find much to eat in N'Zerekore, so I got inventive. This particular example is what this American ate for lunch on the 4th of July, 2007.

Avocados grow in abundance in N'Zerekore and cost about 20 cents each. So I cut one in half and stuffed it like a deviled egg full of canned corn, green olives, cucumbers, and covered the top in my imported ranch dressing that has made the long journey from the United Supermaket in Wichita Falls Texas all the way to the African Bush to give me a bit of American taste for the 4th of July.

And you eat it like a bowl of ice cream, scooping it out little by little... Sounds tasty, huh? :)
