Fast Food..Gambian style

Much the same as Beer, anyone who has EVER known me knows that I like to eat...., Alot..So why should moving to The Gambia change an integral, definable part of me. I feel it is my duty to eat whatever looks appetizing so as to report to my audience. Last week I was out wandering, mostly without cause as I have done for the past 5 weeks. Who am I kidding, ok the last 33 years, anyway. I noticed people leaving the corner markets everywhere with some sort of sandwich. I couldn't see the guts of the sandwich though. So for the sake of readers I asked the vendor for the same thing, whatever it was. Holy simple step to satiation Batman!!! Its a baguette (fresh every morning) with a thin slather of mayonnaise out of a gallon tub and a hard boiled egg (2 for me please) chopped and spread the length of the bread. All for less than .50 cents US.  A loaf of fresh baked bread can be picked up warm from the bakery for about .15 cents.. Today out wandering I found another gem that will now be a staple in my diet a man walking around selling what looked like individual coconuts in plastic bags. Gimme one..I don't have any idea how but here is a half shelled softball of fresh soft coconut with the water still perfectly preserved inside. (easily eaten with one hand while driving) Holy buckets it was good. Once again CHEAP, about .75 cents.  I will keep you updated of anymore noteworthy food finds..
