I was in Kampala and I was outside the supermarket I dropped my phone a teenager seen this and ran up to snatch it but before he could this lady grabbed and shouted something to him in luganda and he ran off lol the locals take care of the foreigners once you are good to the locals they will treat you as their own.... Uganda has a special place in my heart and I miss it 😢

Yeah, in all Ugandan cultures, visitors are supposed to be treated special. It feels like you are being lifted on a pedestal but that's culture. We are taught from childhood, at home, to put visitors first. People will go out of their way to protect you. The ones who don't are the rebels.

In the United States, pocho is called mush. Corn meal mush to be more specific. People usually eat it for breakfast. They slice it into patties, fry it in sausage or bacon grease, and put butter and syrup on it, and it's really good. It makes for a good tasty meal and it's cheap, too.
