Yeah, in all Ugandan cultures, visitors are supposed to be treated special. It feels like you are being lifted on a pedestal but that's culture. We are taught from childhood, at home, to put visitors first. People will go out of their way to protect you. The ones who don't are the rebels.

In the United States, pocho is called mush. Corn meal mush to be more specific. People usually eat it for breakfast. They slice it into patties, fry it in sausage or bacon grease, and put butter and syrup on it, and it's really good. It makes for a good tasty meal and it's cheap, too.
