$9.80 sushi platter from Checkers, a South African supermarket chain. In Cape Town, a Checkers would also have ready-to-eat Indian, Thai and British meals, as well as a nacho combo that comes with seasoned beef, cheese, sour cream and a pretty good sauce. In provincial Windhoek, supermarket and restaurant offerings are much more limited. Woe me!

This platter came with chopsticks, but I dropped them somewhere, so will have to eat it with a fork. That's like drinking beer with a straw...
