The “Obama” the taste sensation that’s sweeping Malawi
I read some news from my friend Mona via Facebook today. She’s on break from University of Cape Town, visiting her family in Malawi where she found a new item on the menu of roadside vendors. It’s called the “Obama”. Apparently it’s a fist-sized fried sweet bread.
it’s more like a sweet doughnut [than plain bread]. Traders sell them on the side of the road and shout “ObamaObamaObama” to get sales!
Here’s a pic of an opened-up Obama:
Mona knows as well as you or I that donuts are sweet so this treat is definitely not part of the President’s health plan!
