Fillings include mushy peas, fried bean balls, scrambled eggs, spicy-potato mix, spicy beans and spicy any-and-everything. At other places around the country, I've been able to find meat sandwiches with fresh veggies and condiments. The most common version of this breakfast however, is the homemade version, like my family typically has. Every day, a little boy from the house will be sent to the baker to buy many loaves of bread. Each family member will grab a loaf or half-loaf of bread, slather it in plain mayonaise from a 10kg bucket, and go on their way. The plain mayonnaise version aside, these sandwiches are delicious and I can see why the Pulaar people adopted them as a staple.
The only other breakfast I've seen is when the smallest children eat a bag of cookies from a local store for breakfast. These are little white, wheat, cracker-like cookies.
Lunch
Here, lunch meals are restricted to lunch, while dinner dishes are restricted to dinner, much like we have pancakes for breakfast in America or would find it odd to be offered cereal for dinner at a friend's house. My family rotates the lunch meals at random, but rarely serves the exact same thing for lunch two days in a row. Because I live at the mayor's house in my town, lunch is often attended by people visiting from out of town for commerce or government related meetings, so I know that my house tends to serve meals that are a bit more robust than others.
Mafe Gerte: This white rice and peanut-sauce dish is served with a well-cooked potato or two, sometimes a Yakatu pepper, and a leftover piece of meat. The sauce is oily and thick, and comes from a paste that is bought in bulk.
