What a meal, my hosts just cooked me a milled corn that is the size of a large bun and is called something that sounds not too dissimilar to ‘Kinky’. I think it is Kenke. Tamara is a great cook and the corn was accompanied by a fish and a separate [but on the same plate] hot tomato based sauce. I hesitated and looked around for the cutlery and the realisation dawned on me that this was to be eaten using my fingers. You must only use your right hand, and the idea is to break off a bit of the corn and spread it to scoop/soak the tomato sauce. A truly wonderful experience; in taste, and texture, use of my fingers. Sounds easy, but it’s quite difficult using just one hand when you are a finger virgin. Oh, and yes. It was washed down by another one of those exceedingly large beers!
