All they have in this country is white bread. It is good, bakery-made white bread, but it is still white bread. They must have some recipe that everyone in the country knows, because it all tates the exact same. I miss whole grain bread.
A note on food in Sri Lanka...
There are two main food groups here: Rice and Chili Peppers. The latter is literally eaten like a vegetable with meals or as a snack. It is no wonder people here have stomach ulcers!
And have I mentioned that I love the bananas here? I think I may move to Sri Lanka if only so I can eat bananas without guilt. They are not shipped from accross the ocean. In fact, the bananas I eat havent even been carried across the street! My host has a garden where she picks bananas. All the rice I eat at her home comes from her own rice patty behind the house. We also grow coconuts, papayas, and other things I dont even remember! This is local produce at its best. You all know how I get excited about local produce!
