Chipsi Mayai

Chipsi mayai, Swahili for "chips and eggs," is a popular Tanzanian comfort food. It's nothing more than a french fries omelette in its most basic form, but that's precisely where the beauty lies – in its simplicity. You'll also notice that Tanzanian french fries are different from those in the west, as they're always made with fresh, hand-cut and peeled potatoes and fried to a crisp yellow.

Chipsi mayai can be found in most restaurants and outdoor food stands, and locals prefer to eat it with toothpicks and a squirt of ketchup. Champion's breakfast!
