What do Kenyans Eat?

So in this first stage of my life transformation into a quasi-Kenyan lifestyle, I need to know what Kenyans eat. I think that is going to be an interesting step. After my lovely wife and I have watched myriad documentaries chronicling the perils of processed foods and high-fructose corn syrup, I believe firmly that our modern diet contributes strongly to our de-evolution as Americans, and am interested in finding out what Kenyans eat to see how that would affect my physical performance and general health.

The best resource that I have found in terms of Kenyan marathoner dietary habits is in an article in Running Times. The article outlines their diet as including: "small amounts of roasted meat, cooked greens, fruit, milk and, always, ugali, a thick, polenta-style cornmeal porridge." Some of those are a bit vague, so I'll have to do some digging into what "small amounts" of roasted meats would entail. Probably not a nightly hanger steak, although I've got my fingers crossed.

This week I am going to be looking into this and will hopefully get some recipes together to dive into my Kenyan diet next week. I'm not sure what it will do to my body, but I guarantee it will be more agreeable than my passion for Snickers and Famous Amos cookies.
