From February 20-23, 2005, Dubai hosted the “Tenth Gulf Food, Hotel & Equipment Exhibition”, the Middle East’s largest food and hospitality-related exhibition. U.S. Ambassador Michele J. Sison opened the U.S.A. pavilion and then escorted H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister of Finance, through the USA Pavilion (see photos above). The USA Pavilion occupied 800 square meters, contained 80 booths and featured 60 companies exhibiting a broad range of U.S. fresh, canned, frozen and dried foods.

The "good" news appears to be that the jet originally was to have cost $47 million. But that pales beside the bad news, which is, of course, that $32 million might have done hard-working, poor Ugandans a lot of good if used to promote economic growth instead. ... [Read More]

Local beef, pork, and mutton are relatively good, somewhat expensive, and available in ample supply. Some meats are currently imported into NDjamena. Only French- and European-style cuts are offered.
