Kampala still lacks certain amenities, but its recovery since the civil war gives it a vibrancy and optimism that is precious, says thegameistobesold.

Kampala market

Posted by ClaireBurdett 11 February 2008

Amazing mix of colours, sights and sounds.

Best tip - buy a couple of kilos of crickets from the old lady sitting under the umbrella at the very far end of the market. Crickets? Yes, don't be squeamish! They are caught by children for Ugandan pennies, de-winged, and then kept alive in a huge covered barrel, which keeps them docile and sleepy.

Fry them quickly over a high heat - they taste exactly like prawns! My children couldn't stop eating them, and we had to fight them for a grown up share!

Grown up tip: fried crickets are delicious nibbled as you sip your Ugandan beer sitting in the sunshine, waiting your meal to arrive freshly cooked...yum.
