Our traditional dish is called ugali. It is made by boiling hot water and adding processed maize flour to the water and kneading with a mwiko until a kind of consistent dough like mixture has formed. It is served with vegetables most of the time and also egg stew or meat stew.

I'm from the USA and the staple food is corn. I prepare it by shucking it and boiling it in a pot of water for 10 minutes. Then put some butter and pepper on it. Delicious!

I am from the United States. From living in northwest, southwest, and northeast I would say the one thing that is in all of those areas are potatoes. French Fries would probably be the most popular version of the potato. However, my favorite is tater tots and potato salad.
