Thanks for the compliment. It was a nice hotel they took us to. Who knows, that dish could have been a delicacy to them, but I wasn't about to find out. As I'm sure you know, Americans tend to be insular since we're so geographically isolated by two oceans.
Here, you had a bunch of kids, many like me, who were leaving the country for the first time. For some, landing in Africa was akin to stepping on the surface of the Moon. When we visit other lands, we look for the familar. McDonald's, Burger King, and the like. None of us were ready to be adventurous with food. :)
That said, Kenya was wonderful. You should have seen the locals laughing at us American sailors trying to balance things on our heads as they did. They made it look effortless in comparison. We had a chance to climb on an Elephant to have our picture taken. We were absolutely terrified! Only one of us was brave enough to do it. The other sailors were shoving me forward to do it, because they were scared as well. I paid the $10, and reached out to touch it, but then we all ran away after it turned and trumpeted at us. Screw that! Good times though! lol
