Cooking with Team Kenya

Beet-Loaf

2 cans of corned beef
1/2 c. crushed cornflakes
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 egg
Pepper & garlic to taste
1 can of beets
Ketchup

Mix beef, cornflakes, onion, egg, pepper, and garlic together.
Put on greased cookie sheet. Mould into the shape of a beetle.
Cover in ketchup.
Using beets, create the beetle's legs, eyes, spots, antenna, etc.

Bake at 350 degrees until it looks good.
Enjoy

Note: Do not add salt. Cannned corned beef is very salty.

Maybe 2 cups of chopped boiled potatoes
2 cans tuna
3 boiled eggs

dressing:
1 c. mayonaise
2 tbsp mustard
2 tsp vinegar
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Mix the dressing together, pour it over everything else. Yummy.

Note: pickles would have been a nice touch, but we didn't have any.

  4. Andrew: I wouldn't call this African cooking. Just...Team Kenya creativity. African cooking is just goat and cornmeal mush.
    Mary: ...yes...we really did try making jello with no fridge...
