Food is at the heart of the Kenyan people. Whether the time is good or not so good, food is always involved. From parties to funerals to just spending time together, food is there!
It is undeniable that the most common food is Ugali. Ugali is made from cornmeal and boiling water. 
It is made to be dense, to soak up juices from vegetables and meat. If one is not eating ugali, chapati (flatbread) is usually part of the meal. Chapati is a mixture of a tortilla and an Indian naan. It is moist and soft enough to tear and use as your eating utensil with meat or vegetable soup.
