An overhead photograph displays a meal set on a bright blue surface, likely a table. In the foreground, a white, rectangular ceramic plate contains a substantial serving of a traditional East African meal. The main components include numerous oblong, light-yellow cooked plantain pieces (matoke) and several large chunks of cooked potato, all submerged in a rich, reddish-orange stew. Scattered within and atop the stew are various pieces of dark brown stewed meat, some identifiable as beef tripe (matumbo) due to their textured appearance, alongside smaller, more solid meat chunks. To the left side of this plate, a mound of dark green, finely cooked leafy greens, characteristic of sukuma wiki, is present. A metallic spoon is partially visible, resting in the lower-left section of the stew. In the background, positioned above and to the left of the main plate, a smaller, off-white, scallop-edged plate holds half of a ripe avocado, cut lengthwise with the pit removed, revealing its light green flesh and dark skin. The setting suggests a casual dining environment common in Nairobi, Kenya, given the typical ingredients and presentation of the dishes.
