Yes, I will research this online. Long story short, my new guy made the
mistake of going to Inchin Bamboo for dinner last night. It's a chain place.
Indian/Asian fusion type food, based out of TX I think. There wasn't much
open when he got there. Restaurants are either closed for good or closed
early due to Covid, and add in the holiday. He wanted a long time to try to
place an order, but they closed before he could order. They apologized, but
gave him some food for free. We couldn't tell what it was. Some kind of
chicken and noodles and way too much white rice. He had intended to eat it
in the car and then go home.
Instead, he called and asked if he could come over and heat it in my
microwave as it was cold when they gave it to him. I had made turkey and
stuffing, but I thought that wouldn't appeal to him given that he is from
Tanzania. I am not familiar with their cuisine. He does cook. He even has a
rice pot that he loves. Said he made chicken soup in it. The soup had
potatoes, carrots, other vegetables and was seasoned with and ginger and
cilantro. So I know those two things.
But... Whatever this crap was that they gave him, couldn't be helped even
with the tiny container of red sauce that they gave him. So he began looking
in my kitchen for something with heat to it. All I could think of was
Mexican type salsas and such or red pepper flakes. I did have Sirracha. But
it's gone now. So... What sort of things should I buy if a similar situation
arises? As in prepared sauces or spices? Oh and, although he didn't eat much
of the food, it gave him stomach pains.
And... I you eat this kind of food, what are some dishes I could make that
don't involve perishable items that I might not have. I will research it but
want a dish or two that I can make on the fly if I need to. He mentioned
something with coconut and bananas and also Chapatti (sp?) or Roti that his
aunt makes. He said he was eating that daily but it raised his cholesterol
so had to give it up. He now tries to eat a lower fat diet. I can make
really good pita bread so he might like that.
Thanks!

Here's one that would be all shelf stable things: Wali wa Nazi, is a
stove top rice dish. No cholesterol of note.
Looks like a lot of coconut milk is used. Can get it canned or
powdered. Sadly bananas aren't shelf stable and I don't think you can
use 'dried' there for the same effects. Cornmeal is common and is made
to a mush. Pita bread is close to their flatbread so probably works.
It says in several pages they tend to milder indian spices. Looks a
bit like 'less is more' with the spice amounts and I noted sesame,
cumin seeds, and cilantro were common.

stuffing wouldn't appeal to him? Maybe that's what he really wanted, an
invitation to Christmas dinner.
Another thought is the guy [alledgedly] cooks and owns a rice pot yet he
had to go to her house to use *her* microwave. There are plenty of
other ways to reheat food, up to and including that rice pot.
What about the pandemic lockdown? What's this guy doing out and about
when everyone is supposed to stay at home? He waits until Christmas day
to try a restaurant but they're closing so they give him free food.
Yeah, because that's what restaurants in dire need of money to stay
afloat during a pandemic do.
If she wants to know what this guy likes to eat she should be asking
him. Even if there were a dozen Tanzanians on this ng doesn't mean they
all like the same food. According to Wikipedia "The United Nations
estimated Tanzania's 2018 population at 56.31 million." Lots of room for
variation.

Beyond that, I am still looking into it. Seems that beans and rice are
common, but I need the correct seasonings. I am on a website now that
mentions eggs and potatoes.

There is no (single) Tanzanian cuisine.
FYI the continent of Africa is far more ethnically diverse than USA
(and correspondingly more diverse in cultures, languages, religions,
cuisines).
Every country within Africa has its own long history of migration,
wars, invasion, foreign colonialisation, and occupation. Including
Tanzania, which has at least a thousand years of sea trade with the
Middle East, Far East: India and Arabia, Pakistan, Iran etc.

You see it in my above.
I think the main note I gathered is they use a light hand with spices
(herbs count) and actual 'hot' isn't much hot. Peppers for example
seemed to stay the Anaheim level.
So what spices did you get?
Also while looking at Cod recipes, I came across a seafood stew that
seemed like a reasonable fit. It had a combination milk/flour/butter
base with added coconut milk. It used whole crushed Cardamom, Dried
Cilantro, and Black pepper.
I fortunately copied the gist down as hunting for a link didn't work
well (kept getting Thai with hot peppers and lemon grass).
2 tblspn butter
2 tblspn flour
mix to a roux, may toast the flour a little at the start for a brown
one. Add crushed cardamom, about 2 tsp and let rest as you whisk a bit
more, like 1/2 minute. Some add a minced 2tblspns of a mild chile such
as Ahaheim at this stage.
Turn off and slowly add 1 cup milk, whisking to prevent lumps.
Add 1/2 - 3/3 cup cut up boneless fish, white types vastly preferred.
Cod, Snapper, Tilapia would be easy to get where you are.
Turn heat on and warm until you see tiny bubbles to the edges, then add
1/2c coconut milk, and 1/2cup frozen vegetables (spinach if fresh tops
the list, peas are common), finish with 1/4tsp black pepper then heat
to bare simmer and serve.
If you put all the stuff out before you start, this takes about 20
minutes from start to finish. Plate and if you have fresh cilantro,
top with that. If not, Dried is acceptable.
BTW, in a pinch, can use canned chicken for the fish but it's a
different dish then.
In a pinch, canned chunk chicken will work. Mustard greens can be used
for the vegetable. Tumeric often used to make it a lively color. The
fish can be leftover cooked if it wasn't fried or breaded.
Did I track that you get fish at times? I jotted this one down as have
leftover Cod from XMAS dinner.

And I thought, "Cool! I know quite a bit about Tanzanian cuisine, including home-cooking, street/fast, and restaurant food. Personal experiences. I'll be happy to share what I know and I look forward to a discussion about it!"
But of course, this being RFC in 2020, the thread immediately took a dive into the sewer and stayed there.

Amazon boxes arrived as he was leaving. We looked in there. No spices.

is far different than that of Tanzania, from what I have read. They have a
lot of Indian food in Tanzania. So I know now, I can make two dishes. I
ordered the corn flour for one and will need to make sure I have eggs for
the other. I know he eats eggs.

I have dried cilantro. Personally I don't think it can hold a candle to
fresh, but fresh doesn't keep for long and it seems there's always too much
when I buy it. When I looked up the name, it said Coriander. So I ordered
that. The powder. But now I think maybe that might be the powdererd seeds.
No matter, Coriander is commonly used in that cuisine from what I have read.
chile garlic sauce, various Thai and Asian sauces. Still waiting for Piri
Piri sauce and Peri Peri seasoning. I think I am leaving some things out.
Also American type hot sauces like Tabasco and Jalapeno sauce. I love
Jalapeno sauce but haven't had any in some time. I will get some fresh
giunger the next time I go to a brick and mortar store, if they have it. The
dried ginger has gone way up in price. I got 8 oz. last year for around $8.
Now, the smallest container is around $4. I didn't buy cloves. If I see a
deal on them, I will. Right now, most of my spices are from the Dollar store
because the other person who lives here has a very heavy hand with such
things and no sense of flavor profile. Such as using an entire bottle
(small) of sesame oil to cook ground beef. That had to have tasted as awful
as it smelled.
I did get some frozen fish from Winco once but it wasn't labeled as to what
it was. I wound up giving it to a friend and she couldn't figure it out
either.
And then he left for a time so I gave the fish to a friend. Normally the
only fish I buy is tuna in a pouch, but every few years, I might buy fish
sticks. Thanks!

Jolof rice seasoning, Coriander, Harissa paste, various curry paste/sauce,

chile garlic sauce, various Thai and Asian sauces. Still waiting for Piri
Piri sauce and Peri Peri seasoning. I think I am leaving some things out.
Also American type hot sauces like Tabasco and Jalapeno sauce. I love
Jalapeno sauce but haven't had any in some time. I will get some fresh
giunger the next time I go to a brick and mortar store, if they have it. The
dried ginger has gone way up in price. I got 8 oz. last year for around $8.
Now, the smallest container is around $4. I didn't buy cloves. If I see a
deal on them, I will. Right now, most of my spices are from the Dollar store
because the other person who lives here has a very heavy hand with such
things and no sense of flavor profile. Such as using an entire bottle
(small) of sesame oil to cook ground beef. That had to have tasted as awful
as it smelled.

Yeah. I just never buy fish as I can't the taste or the smell of it cooking.

I did get some frozen fish from Winco once but it wasn't labeled as to what
it was. I wound up giving it to a friend and she couldn't figure it out
either.

I only bought the fish once, when Justin was big into cooking his own food.

And then he left for a time so I gave the fish to a friend. Normally the
only fish I buy is tuna in a pouch, but every few years, I might buy fish
sticks. Thanks!

I didn't find a lot of stuff online for this. But I was mainly trying to
figure out what source of heat he might want when he said he wanted to add
heat to the dish. I didn't even realize that I had the chile/garlic sauce

My BF is not that much younger than me. Jobs are hard to find here these

deliveries from stores and restaurants are at an all time high. I was
shocked at the amount of people who get food deliveries daily in this city.
Sometimes spending $100 and up per meal for a family style meal. Many
restaurants are offering that now. Heck, I don't even spend that much in a
week for food unless I'm really low on stuff and need a big stock up.

Also...now you have a *new* guy? And now you're looking for ingredients
to cook Tanzanian food for him too?
If you're so worried about Covid virus that you won't even leave the
house to shop for food, why do you invite a 2nd guy into your house that
comes and goes and could also bring the virus home to you?
And, no, not even Bothell forbids grocery shopping.
You're NOT self isolating at all. Either one of those men could bring
you the virus. You're not being very safe.

It is a different 'heat' yes. Most of my peeks didn't lead to 'bland'
when you combined to a meal. It seemed there was always something that
was fairly 'hot' in the mix.
Did you catch much on lentils in your looks? I saw a few so that might
be wortch looking into since often handy at your place. They cook
quick.
Want me to pass some possibles there? I'm looking up recipes close to
that anyways for me so it's just saving a link of any that might be of

close to her own uses, is not very expensive. Her budget isn't that
limited.
Scratch cooks feed families at 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of folks who can't
(or don't) actually cook. Example: I make bread at 47cents per 1lb
loaf. It's not only better than store crap, I can vary it for a few
more cents more but even my most expensive ones are way cheaper than
store versions.
I don't do it for cost, but because I like to cook. I of course notice
the cost is less because it's hard to not notice when others mention it
costs them 100$ a week to feed 1 adult... That's insane.

Ok! Pretty good and better than most! Times have been very hard since
COVID hit. Delivery drivers don't make a lot, but it's steady and
probably has some benefits like heathcare at reduced prices. He might
get some sick time so take a day or so of that when he wants one (some
jobs now combine that with vacation so it's all one thing).

I like most vegetables except for broccoli, asparagus, canned spinach, and
Brussel sprouts. Granted I have not tried them roasted. Raw cauliflower is
fine and a little bit cooked in something is fine. Same for cabbage. Don't
like a side or cauliflower or cabbage when cooked. Sweet potatoes are not a
favorite. I'll eat them when served, provided they're not glopped up with
marshmallows or some such thing.
The lasagna I just made has a layer of caramelized zucchini and also cooked
spinach mixed with the ricotta. I did put the powdered parmesan and perhaps
didn't mix it quite as well as I should have because out of one square, I
had two bites that seemed a little salty. I also added some red pepper
flakes to the cheese. I was trying to give it a little heat. It actually
didn't add heat but gave it a wonderful flavor.

My food tastes tend towards cheap to begin with. Beans, rice, vegetables in
season. I put carrots, onions and celery in most things and bell peppers too
if they are cheap. They're not cheap now. I just got a big can of dried red
and green mixed from Augston (sp?) Farms. I prefer to buy the red and green
separately but my long time source stopped making them and these were
inexpensive. I also have a bag of frozen, mixed strips.I got some dried on
clearance at Walmart online that have an orange color. I seem to have to use
twice as much as they don't have a lot of flavor. It's a small bag and
mostly gone now.
When Angela and I were here alone, I spent $130 a week at Winco, but that
included paper and cleaning supplies, magazines and books, school supplies,
seeds and plants, cat stuff, vitamins, batteries and what not.
I rarely get any coupons these days. She still shops the way I taught her.
Look for the coupon item first, then compare the price to the others. If not
cheaper then get something else unless you really want that particular
brand. Next, look for sale and marked down signs. Again, compare the price
to others. Don't assume it is cheaper. If it's way cheaper and you know you
like it, stock up. Always keep extra things you like.

It isn't as good as fresh (or so I have been told. Cilantro tastes
like soap to me). Yes on coriander. On my googles, it was almost hard
to find a recipe that didn't seem to use it. Powdered seeds most
likely. I have whole seed here and crush as needed. Works nicely in
lentils.

Sounds like a good mix there! A lot can be worked with it. BTW,
seriously IGNORE expiration dates on spices. They just lose some of the
punch so you have to use more. Stores like to mark them as 1 year
because they hope to sell more and it's like 'salt expiration dates'
for that one.

Did you also see a lot of chicken or vegetable stock used? That might
be a twist of mine due to my own cooking leading to it seeming more
common than it is.

No problem!
Did you also see a lot of chicken or vegetable stock used? That might
be a twist of mine due to my own cooking leading to it seeming more
common than it is.

No wonder you laugh at stupid Americans. So many of us are.
This is why I always defended Trump for not warning everyone to wear
masks and stay home every chance you get. Not fair to blame him for the
many deaths in this country. Even if he had done that...still so many
idiots would have ignored the warnings just like they do now.
In a fair world, it's the idiots that ignore the warnings that should be
the ones that die, not the "collateral damage" that they cause by
spreading the virus.

only work when they feel like it (might want to visit Julie instead!)
aren't being offered offered healthcare benefits, sick time or vacation
days so they can drop in and heat up crappy food in Julie's microwave.
During a pandemic lockdown. Even though he has his own place to live
and at least (as far as we know) a rice pot.
Her last boyfriend was allegedly allergic to cats and also couldn't come
over because of the lockdown. Now this new guy can come in and use the
microwave and hey, he's not allergic to cats. You can't see this for

I would love to see some of those Tanzania recipes. The only African
food I've had was some really nice homemade Ethoipian Injera bread with
a nicely spiced lamb and vegetable stew. Delicious!
Julie is trying to impress someonw she barely knows. Her last
"boyfriend" was allergic to cats. This is a new guy. Gotta wonder
where she's finding them during a pandemic lockdown.

Ethiopian cooking is reckoned to be the most highly developed cuisine
in sub-Saharan Africa.
We used to have two Ethiopian restaurants in town. Unfortunately,
now we're down to one.
