Uganda

1 December, 2024

Ugandan breakfast: Rolex. This is basically a vegetable omelet rolled up in a chapati. Sort of Uganda’s answer to the breakfast burrito, but my wife likes this a lot more. The recipe is for one serving, and it is plenty; neither one of us was particularly hungry for lunch.

The recipe author says that when street vendors were trying to sell this, they would call out “rolled eggs”. Tourists misunderstood what they were saying, and the mishearing eventually became the name of the dish. Nice little anecodote.
