The menu featured sumptuous local delicacies like Luwombo and tilapia, served in the Coastal style.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cIt was a fantastic way to introduce them to Uganda through food. Food will tell you so much about a country. Jikoni did a great job of working with us to share Uganda\u2019s culinary story: what makes our food so unique, and how rich it is in culture, nutrition, and health. They got to try everything, from our staple cuisines to the fruits we&#8217;re known for. It was just such a wholesome evening.
