Matooke- an irresistible delicacy
July 17, 2021 @ 8:00 am - 4:15 pm
INTRODUCTION
No meal in Cultural Buganda would be complete without matooke. In fact, the Baganda are so taken up with the word “emere” (food being the transliteration) means matooke. To be invited to somebody’s home in Buganda or western Uganda and be served pasta, rice and Irish as a staple is downright frowned upon and considered near unorthodoxy. Only the Baganda conjure up the idea of giving matooke names and it is commonplace for the matooke vendors to refer to different varieties of matooke with names such as nandigobe, moussakala, kibuzzi, nakyinkyike, and nakitembe.
Join Rosemary as she fondly recalls her paternal grandmother who would never tire of eating matooke for breakfast in the form of “Gwolu” (cold leftover from the previous night served at breakfast). She will prepare for us Lunch, steamed and mashed. And maybe “katogo” form, with a few fingers of matooke, onions, tomatoes, salt, water and ghee for breakfast the next day!
