When it comes to eating in Kenya, especially in environments I am not that familiar with, I tell people that I eat vegetarian and avoid the awkwardness of turning down meats that either look like they are still alive or makes my stomach churn just thinking about them. I mean really, what can you do to vegetables? I confess, I am a picky eater. Tonight, I attended a mens gathering of Indian business men at a rather exclusive club and we had a barbecue. I declared, in my customary existential decision making mode, I would be eating vegetarian. That turned out to be a mistake. I could not believe the meat dishes and how wonderful they looked. I was tempted to tell them, I relapsed this morning and might as well end the day by fulfilling my carnivorous culinary fantasies. However, I stayed the course - on April 2, 2014, from 8:00 to 9:30 pm (Kenya time), I was a vegetarian.
