An overhead view captures a meal served in Shimbi Mashami, Tanzania. A white ceramic plate, adorned with a red floral design and yellow striped border, holds a serving of cooked green bananas (matoke) and various pieces of boiled tripe, including sections of honeycomb tripe and tubular intestines, submerged in a light-colored broth. A silver metal spoon rests in the broth on the left side of the plate. Below the plate, positioned on a worn, dark wooden surface, lies a half avocado with its large, light-colored pit exposed. The background reveals a textured, light brown dirt floor. No individuals are present.
