I was invited by the Nairobi National Museum to attend an international food mixer. Basically the event involves food,food and more food from various countries all of which is made with traditional ingredients..so no deep frying,no excess salt ..etc
The Countries that are represented this year include Congo, Cameroon,Mexico, Nigeria, Some Southern African Countries and Kenya. The opening ceremony which I attended featured all these countries and their diplomatic ambassadors and nothing quite completes such an event than live band performances...
Here are some pictures (of the food)..enjoy!
