Matoke Tours

The mushy, yellow mash which makes Matoke, is a staple of the Ugandan diet. Made from plantain, the 'green bananas' are peeled, wrapped in large leaves & then steamed outdoors over charcoal. It is a common sight to see discarded plantain peels all over the streets of Kampala.

Matoke is usually served with ground-nut sauce, rice, potatoes & all manner of other yellow, carb-laden foodstuffs. Never invite a Ugandan over for dinner unless you intend to make it...

What you need to do is work out a way of converting all that discarded peel into fuel...make a fortune!
