Prabhupada did not laugh, however, at the Nairobi devotees' bad cooking.

When they served him white maize mush, he called it pig food, and the hard,

white chickpeas, he said, were suitable only for horses. Then Harikrpa, a

black devotee from America, went to the kitchen, boiled some vegetables, and

served them to Prabhupada without any spicing. Prabhupada called it dog

food. "You are still an uneducated African," he told Harikrpa. And he went

into the kitchen to cook for himself. Almost a dozen devotees joined him,

watching him cook a complete meal of dal, rice, capatis, and sabji. He

cooked enough for all the devotees, and everyone was satisfied. Bad cooking

and stolen clothing, however, continued to be problems during Prabhupada's

week-long stay in Nairobi.
