So I read up on Tanzania before coming here learning about the culture, history, and people, food, etc.  According to the literature, ugali (which is similar to grits), wali (cooked rice), and bananas are staples of the diet depending on what area of the country you're in.  Come to find out, the staple of the Tanzanian diet is chipsi, which we call french friesWhereever you go, it's chipsi, chipsi, chipsi everywhere.  Chipsi and eggs, chipsi and chicken, chipsi and goat, chipsi and beef, or just plain old chipsi.

I love french fries, I really do, but I don't want to see or eat another damn chipsi for a while.  I'm boycotting chipsi.

I'm boycotting chipsi.
