My host family is one of the most warm and loving families I have ever met. They brought me deep into their family and treated me as one of their own. I feel as though my heart is bigger for knowing them!
Here are some eating highlights of my home stay:
- Having a traditional soot marks placed on my palms and chest to ensure my family's food would not make me sick
- Helping butcher part of a Spring Bok
- Helping butcher part of a lamb
- Helping skin and butcher a Dik Dik
- Helping cook over a fire in a traditional cast iron pot
- Eating Dik Dik heart and lungs
- Taking Mealie Maize from a shared bowl, forming a ball with it, and dipping it into a shared soup bowl
- Making Italian spaghetti and meatballs for my family
- Making eggs-in-the-hole for my family
