We’re planning an all-American BBQ for the GWED-G staff and all the friends we have made here in Gulu for tonight.  Wish us luck as we try our best to morph Ugandan local foods into something that resembles a BBQ.

No ground beef so we’re planning to aggressively chop, no mayonnaise so we’ll make a nice cabbage and carrot salad and call it “coleslaw,” definitely no cheese so hamburgers it is, corn on the cob made with maize… we’ll just have to sprinkle some sugar on top so it resembles our American sweet corn, and some baked beans that will be fried.  And finally, the grand finale—there’s no grill, so we’ll be using a grate atop a traditional, open fire cooking pot. 

We’re so grateful that beer is popular internationally.  It might be Bell (the locally brewed beer,) not Budweiser, but we know everyone will enjoy.
