Frikadellen

Café Frikadellen is like an oasis in Masaka. They have the best food, you can order hamburgers, pizza, banana splits, lasagna.  Another fabulous feature of Frikadellen is their wi-fi.  We don’t eat there too often, because it is pricey, but dang, it is delicious.  Every Friday night, Café Frikadellen hosts a barbeque buffet.  There is tomato soup with delicious garlic bread, potato salad, sweet potato fries, cabbage salad, scalloped potatoes, chicken wings, steak, tomato/feta salad, tzatziki, guacamole, carrot salad, broccoli salad, hot dogs, with fruit and cake for dessert.  All of this deliciousness can be yours for 25,000 shillings, about $10. 

We like to go to the barbeque with the Rowe’s, and they go whenever they have a team in town getting ready to leave.  It’s strange seeing people come and go…I haven’t really interacted with the teams aside from dinner at Frikadellen, but it’s still strange that we arrived here before them, and they’re leaving before us.  Three months isn’t that long, but the two weeks that many people stay seems like a nice length for a visit…

Anyways, whenever you go to Frikadellen, you’ll always meet another mzungu (white person.)  On Friday nights, you can meet everyone visiting Masaka.  Tonight, there were about 100 people at the barbeque, including us (Utah), the Rowe’s (California), some people from the south, a team from Texas, there are a lot of Danish people, there were some people from Ireland.  At barbeque, you just meet people from all over the world.
