Wedding Dances

Last Saturday, something rather exceptional happened. The Blue Mango, my music group, is followed around by the Dancing Lizards, who are a group of folk dancers who come to all our concerts to dance. One of these dancers is a Comorian lad called Halidi,...

Those who can, cook. Those who can't, eat.

Those who can, cook. Those who can't, eat.

I've been teaching my students about food recently, as you saw in the recent blog post about the European classes. They love learning the English words for their local fruit and vegetables: cassava, breadfruit, chicken wings... they're shouting over each...

A European In Mayotte

A European In Mayotte

In my opinion, healthy food is the best. I don't think junk food is better, because it's too fatty and unhealthy. Personally, I like healthy food because it's full of vitamins, it's more natural. I wouldn't say it's the cheapest or quickest but nevertheless,...

Mahoraid

On Pentecost week-end, like last year, all of the sailing boats in Mayotte who wished could embark on a tour of the island. My musician friend Franck, who owns and lives on a sailing boat, wished. He took a few of his friends and me on his boat with him,...

When in Spain...

When in Spain...

I went to Madrid during the half-term holidays to visit P, who was transferred there for his job last December. I'd never been to the capital city before, so that was a very interesting experience. On top of trying to speak Spanish, I learnt a few things...

Yoğmak: "to be curdled or coagulated; to thicken"

Yoğmak: "to be curdled or coagulated; to thicken"

This is what I have come to recognize as one of the most essential kitchen appliances in Mayotte. Fresh milk does not exist here, as there are no cows and it is too complicated to import via container. French long-life milk doesn't have the nicest taste...

It's a hard knock life.

It's a hard knock life.

Last Sunday, the music group (as always oh-so-elegantly named The Blue Mango) and I went to a barbecue on the beach, organized by the Bretons of Mayotte. An excuse to get together as much as anything, go swimming, have some fun and have something to eat....

Food Shopping

P went back to France at the beginning of December. At one point, he had to go to the local supermarket to forage for food. He went round the supermarket with his mouth hanging open, so many products were there. So many products, and so many varieties...

Rich gentlemen have it, boys!

Rich gentlemen have it, boys!

On the last day of school, my class - MY class, the one I'm the main teacher of, the one I theoretically have the power of life and death over (or at least a say in what happens to them next year) - seemed rather excited. So did everybody. The holidays...
