Did you have some rodent as well, or are you still able to stick to veggies? How's your diet in general? I had smoked muskrat a few weeks ago - tasted not so bad :)
Something I was wondering about was whether they had major insect/disease problems with their crops. I've never heard it mentioned and suppose it would make sense for there to be less disease because there are not (as far as I know) huge stretches of monocropped fields for pests and diseases to prosper in...
I hope everything is going well - we just came back from Western and it was another really good one - a nice chance for me to think about fundraising and get more excited about it :)
Sias ===== Hahaha… no rodent for me, but Takora did just show me a dead squirrel he had brought back from the farm. I’ll show you the picture some time :) My diet mainly consists of beans, rice, corn flower (TZ, banku), cassava flower (TZ, banku), and a mango or banana every once in a while. I had some INCREDIBLE oily rice, pasta and spicy tomatoes the other day though!!! I have been craving pasta and pasta sauce for like a month now and it was pretty close! With the second bout of malaria, I have lost a lot of appetite for madam Mary’s cooking which sucks cause I used to really enjoy it. Hopefully it comes back in a few days.
I’ll ask my coworkers about major pests / insects in the region, but I have only heard small mentions of them. I hear a lot more about farmers going to drive monkeys and partridges away from their farms.
