*This is a tenuous link to anything else on the thread.

I met some Tanzanian people in the hospital waiting room a couple of months ago when my friend was in intensive care after a heart attack. Really nice folk who cooked a meal while they waited (well warmed up one they'd made earlier). I commented on how nice the smell was and they insisted I have some.

Maharage Beans, which is a national dish. I highly recommend it with some Mchusi Sauce.....

How about on toast with a light cheese topping, or with sausage and chips...?

Normally you'd have it with Pilau rice and chapatti. But I think your idea could work...

Anything on toast with cheese sprinkled on top is good though.

Indeed.

Sounds more like an Indian type dish then (love all that). Am i correct in thinking that Tanzania is one of the African countries that had a lot of immigrants from India to work on the railways 100 years or so ago so that's where the cuisine link comes from or am i talking out of my arse / dreamed that...?

Yep they came over in the 1800s and liked Zanzibar.... Freddie Mercury was born there (Zanzibar) and he was of Indian descent..

No chance of him having a Belgium passport, Tanzania don't allow dual citizenship.

Thought it was, and knew Freddie was of Indian descent but didn't realise he was born there. Lets hope this guy is the best thing to come out of Tanzania since Freddie then!

I must admit I've never heard of him until now hopefully he does the business for us and it the ground running we are desperate for a striker who scores goals.

He may be a complete flop and we get relegated.
On the plus side we are all a little better informed about season 1969/70 and the merits of African cuisine.

He is Muslim, so shouldn't be tempted to go the pub with Drinkwater.
He might go to the pub and drinkwater

My son has a friend from Zambia who forwarded the picture to his dad. This is the reply.. 
Yes , Freddie was with Rhokana United and Emment with Kitwe United.  In their last days  we recruited  Freddie to coach  Ndola United while I was working for Ndola City Council.  That's how he was my work mate and  flatmate at Davis Court . He now lives in Lusaka

It happens to other teams that they buy a player who hits the ground running and scores goals and becomes a hero instantly

Bruce always seemed to pull some unknown rabbit out of his big fat arse when at Wigan and Hull that would just come in and start performing and keep them up.

You're right, it's about time we got one.

I like the look of him.  If ever a centre forward could jump a stuck front gate he would look like Mbwana.
