Since I am half kenyan, I recognise some of those foods: mandazi - nice sweet doughy thing I eat in the morning sometimes on sundays. We eat this with bharazi - has some type of peas (gungo peas i think).
This is the kenyan's equivalent food to that of jamaica's, they have yam, we have casawa. kenyan's have more range of high super carb foods. Especially the thing that looks like mash but it's not it's flour.
Nice! Thanks for the info! It's nuts that the only thing I actually understand on there is "yam". Never had any of the other stuff.
I'm very interested in how Kenyans (in Kenya) eat for their training, for a few reasons:
1) They put in crazy mileage per week (120+ miles) with 2 sessions per day usually
2) They have to know what they are doing, to avoid cramping, feel great, train properly, etc
3) I feel like my "structure/physique" is more similar to there's, so what they do kind of resonates more with me
4) They aren't "invaded" by fast food & processed foods etc (I imagine), so their diet seems more traditional, and with a running culture, this has to have been passed down for many generations, so I imagine it's very efficient/effective for them
One thing i'm going to look more into, is this tea with massive amounts of sugar & some milk thing .. ie what kind of sugar, how much, etc. I recall someone explaining it, maybe even that article, but just going to look into it more. I feel like the "high sugar" diet makes me feel amazing for running/sprinting etc, so tea+small amount of milk+lots of sugar in one drink might be a nice kick .. I drink tea, milk, and get sugar from lots of other sources, just not in the same drink.
peace!!
