You'll probably be eating tons of nshima. I did see tons of those little dried fishes for sale everywhere (that Len mentioned). What really stood out to me were the bananas (so intense!) and the avocados (so huge!). Otherwise, simple food with nothing particularly fancy. High cuisine was very buttery and British. Sure would've liked to have tried a caterpillar, though… When I was in Zambia the food was most stewed veggies and something called nshima, which is a very thick porridge that you use as filler like rice, or for scooping up food (as you would with bread).

The two that stand out are the fyunkubala ("they expand in your mouth!") and the capinta (which is like a salty minnow stirfry or something like that). I'm looking forward to seeing what your experiences with the cuisine are like when you return! Diana has told me about some of the stuff she ate in Zambia.
