We went to a wedding while we were there, and there was food being prepared for the 100-200 people there. Here, Dr. Guimon is expressing his feelings about a particular Ugandan delicacy called Offals, which are, incidently real offals.

One of the things that struck me while in Africa, and continues to strike me, is the odd gap between technology and primitive conditions seen everywhere. Modern SUV’s next to mud huts, cell phones carried by people living in the middle of the bush.
