want to grab photos from friends.

As with everything else in Kenya, there are two classes of food. What most people eat is pretty horrible - rice, hominy, very bad meat. But, if you have any money at all, there are some exceptional choices.

The places we stayed (the lake, safari and the beach) all had incredible cooks who used high quality local products. At the beach, the fishermen and local farmers would come by in the morning with whatever they had. We would buy it and the kitchen staff would cook it.

There is some great ethnic food. Lots of good Indian food and we went to a really great Ethiopian restaurant and enjoyed food previously unknown to me.

Interesting side note. Hardly anyone smokes cigarettes. Despite the extraordinarily low cost (Marlboros for $1.20 a pack), they are still a luxury that most people can not indulge in.
