AMAZING TRAVEL FACTS
Some are fortunate enough to own a Rolex watch, but did you know that there is a country where people eat a Rolex? There, it is a “street food” that is immensely popular.
Amazing, right?
Do you know where we need to travel in order to eat a Rolex?
It is indeed Uganda.
A rolex is similar to a vegetable omelet. Cabbage, tomato, and onion are cooked with eggs and then rolled into a chapati, a tortilla-like unleavened flatbread. Rolexes are omnipresent in the local daily life. Grabbing a rolex on the way to work gives Ugandans time to exchange the daily news while they’re waiting to be served. Many people end their adventures at the roadside rolex stall after a night on the town, too. The name is a play on the phrase “rolled eggs.”
The origins of the rolex are unclear, but the most widespread story claims that the dish can be traced back to a single creative chapati seller named Sula, from Busoga, a region in eastern Uganda. He was likely the first person to pair chapati with scrambled eggs.
According to Uganda’s Daily Monitor, when the snack appeared at Makerere University in Kampala, its popularity boomed, driven by the students’ non-stop quest for a fast, cheap, and delicious on-the-go meal.
