Since we’re on the subject of food, I might as well address the subject of booze. Trevor and I enjoy an evening cocktail as we’re starting up the fire for dinner. He found a bar in town that stocks Carlsberg from Malawi and trusts him to return the bottles.
I prefer a glass of wine. Shop Rite in Chipata sells decent boxed wine from South Africa, but it’s expensive and hard to transport to Chadiza, so I’ve been looking for a local alternative. I’ve tried several from Mozambique that range from tolerable to not even good enough to cook with. Mind you, I’m not picky. The other day we splurged on a bottle of white “crackling” wine the turned out to be carbonated. That seems a little too fancy for everyday drinking. I’ll keep looking.
