Ugandan Rolex
Ugandan Rolex
This is the first recipe from Uganda on stonedsoup.net! The Ugandan Rolex is a popular breakfast egg wrap found at street corner food stalls. It is an omelette with cabbage, tomato, onion, and hot peppers rolled up in chapati. The story of how this wrap got it’s name comes from vendors calling out the order “rolled eggs” when it is finished cooking. Somehow, but not surprising, foreign visitors misinterpreted “rolled eggs” for “Rolex”; and the joke stuck.
