I did not take lunch. A member of the class gave me her lunch of a
flat bread filled with large fat olives. Amyraa also organised us going to a cafeteria on Monday. She cooked the lunch we had in the lab on Tuesday. Amyraa will be doing her PhD at Cape Peninsula University of Technology in 2010. |

I was taken out to lunch at a nearby cafeteria.
The students were so hospitable! We had the food that everyone seems to eat at lunch, which is ful. Ful is made of cooked beans, mashed with oil, tomatoes, cheese, etc. added. You scoop it up from the communal bowl with flat bread. Delicious! Ful is served with the flat bread and a bowl of hot tamia. We also had some round fried balls of ground humus called shatta.

I was taken to lunch in the official student cafeteria.
In Sudan urban/city people seem to drink more fresh fruit juice than any other drink. I had fruit juice. The other students had fish wraps. When I asked what was in the wrap they went to get the tin of fish from which it was made - tinned dolphin with the name of tuna from Thailand. There were some young kids playing, and many many tables for pool. I was amazed at the lack of litter and the use made of the dustbins. |

last day we had breakfast in a different cafeteria - it was Saturday and
many of the usual places were closed as it was the weekend. Look
at the pudding we bought - dough cooked in oil and then sweetened.
