Fun agricultural fact for the day: the faming conditions in Mozambique are very, very good for growing lots of things – I’ve seen maize, tobacco galore (tobacco grown here actually appears in Australian cigarettes – though the farmers don’t see much of that profit, and actually lose money to the multinational producers), and farms that produce more seeds (kind of a ‘farm farm’ if you think about it). But what grows the best is fresh fruit.
One of the great things about knowing lots of farmers and fruit consultants is getting LOTS of FREE FRUIT. So, yesterday, we went for a drive, visited this giant dam (see background), and completely stuffed ourselves with pineapples, mangoes and bananas …
… We then polished off a number of slabs of pork, complemented by this really nice Mozambique-type crème caramel thing. Basically it’s egg, flour and custard – fried to a soft consistency – then, for good measure, soaked in a pool of treacle. Mmm … fattening.
For dinner, we had a whole lot calamari, followed by some large steaks. And we finished it off with the traditional dessert favourite – Portuguese egg tarts …
I’ve REALLY gotta do some exercise. And quickly!
Blessings
John
