fried foods

so we are realizing with our kenyan lunches that the use of cooking oil is high on the list of ingredients for any and every meal. At our traditional sunday night treat of Mummies fast food is all deep fat fried...the fries, the samosas and the sausages. this week on my mummies stop I saw some things that looked a little like doughnuts. but as with my experience on other "treasure hunts" I have learned to ask questions to gain understanding. so here is the conversation....

ME "ah sir"

HE" yes..."

ME "I was wondering what these things here are (pointing to good sized round objects)"

HE "doughnuts"

ME "oh" still not totally convinced, "so it is like just bits of dough that you put in there" Pointing to the deep fat frier that would make a small MacDonalds proud.

HE "yes...yes."

so there you have it...I will tell you that it looked like the doughnuts may have been in the display case for a few hours and having filled my weekly quota of grease for the week already at lunch, I passed on trying one....this time.
