Is There Vegetarian Food In Uganda?

Traditional Ugandan staples like matoke, posho, cassava, and sweet potatoes are inherently vegetarian. Groundnut sauce, bean stews, and vegetable preparations provide protein-rich accompaniments. Many Ugandans eat predominantly vegetarian diets, with meat being a less frequent addition due to cost.
