14 ingredients
Every now and again we have a company lunch and last week, feeling determined to carry on as normal as possible, we had to arrange a total of 14 ingredients.
There ensued a search as food scouts from the offices were sent out to forage in the various shopping centres. Whilst the total ingredients were not found, the lunch took place, but after having to visit 9 separate locations across Harare.
One could sense the emotion and strength of feeling regarding the issue of food as our plight in Zimbabwe has been reduced to the level whereby such things as fuel, water and electricity pale into insignificance. People are genuinely concerned about from where their next meal will come no matter what income level or society status.

So what were the ingredients - what what was the cost of each?

I’ve never been to Zim. But I want to know, please explain to me…is it really as bad as they say and show us on TV? Im sure they’re not making it up, but do you have hope that things will get better?

Out of curiosity - what were the 14 ingredients, and which 9 did you find?
