Eating at the Nursery

            One day I was invited to eat at the nursery.    After the nannies had prepared the food I would come over to eat.  Of course we had the traditional meal of nsima and relish.  If you don’t know what nsima is, it is a porridge made of cornmeal and water.  This is cooked until it is a thick pasty substance that doesn’t have any flavor.  But with relish, which usually consists of cooked cabbage, rape, eggs, or other vegetables, helps it taste a lot better.  Of course if you’re extra traditional, you eat this with your hands, taking a blob of nsima and a little bit of relish and eating it.  Anyway, I ate in the nursery the extra traditional way which you can expect to be fun, and it was!
