I have decided that the best ever french fries in the world are cooked in Tanzania. They are amazing! Called "chips" because of past British influence, they are made at typical outdoor restaurants in towns and villages all over the country. My favourite treat is Chips Mayai, a wonderful concoction of chips and egg cooked over a charcoal brazier. It looks like a chip omelet and is served piping hot with a little pile of salt on the side of the dish. Just add a liberal sprinking of hot sauce and you are ready to dig in with the toothpick provided. Outdoor restaurants are great to eat at because there are so many sights to see. I enjoyed my latest meal with a bottle of Coke while watching a lady plucking a chicken. She was very skilled.
You'll never be disappointed by Chips Mayai.

I met a lady today who knows a Maasai woman who can easily touch her nose with her tongue. Her tongue is long due to many years of using it for pointing at things. It is considered impolite to point at things with your finger. Words fail me.
