Guest Post! from my brother Mike!

My brother Mike spent a long time backpacking east Africa a few years ago (the one year I was actually not here, of course!) and this recipe we agree is a classic broke traveller east african meal. I unfortunately didn't have a frisbee and my coffee is made in a french press not an italian stovetop, but the feeling is the same.. One day when I get a better camera I'll show you better photos of food. For now, here is a screen shot of my darling brothers and me talking on Skype when they were in Sweden. Followed by one of those avocados and me eating the chapati concoction.

Love you Mike.

Budget veggie backpacker meal: east africa edition:

1 chapati
1 diced ripe tomato
1 small, finely chopped red onion
1 sliced, giant, delicious creamy africa avocado
1 chopped chilli
1 squeezed lime
Salt and pepper to taste

Buy a couple chapatis for a nickel. The rest should cost less than a 1.50$ (2008 prices). Chop up all ingredients with a dirty swiss army knife on the back of a frisbee

Place chopped tomato, onion, avo and chili in center of chapati. squeeze lime juice over top. Add salt from packet swiped from a restaurant. add ground pepper from the mini plastic pepper grinder bought in rome that traveled around aftrica with me. Just a few turns - fresh ground pepper is like gold in africa

Roll.

Enjoy.

Finish with coffee from little Italian stove top expresso maker perking on open gas burner flame, also purchased in rome
