The Tri -Fecta

The most common foods we eat here are beans, rice, and cabbage.  There are other choices, but these are the most frequent by far.  When all three are included in a single meal, we call it The Tri-Fecta.  The most repeated foods combined together creating a force of monotony.  Fortunately, we haven't worn out on the meal...yet.  Other frequent meal combinations include beans, cabbage, and nsima (pasty cornmeal) and beans, cabbage, and chipati (fried dough).  These are known as the Lesser Fectas.  Potatoes, Meat, and other vegetables get thrown in the mix.  Plus, we usually have fresh fruit like avocados, bananas, mangos, and papayas when they are in season so the meals are really pretty good.
