Maize flour stiff porridge is a little tedious as far as required answers go

Does ugali have translation to English? Isn't that a typical food without English translation?

I thought so too. I've never used any other word for it, except while explaining it to others. Or actually, I've seen the expression "African corn cake" being used, but I don't consider it very cake-like.

I reported that "ugali" should also be accepted as correct. (It is accepted in lots of other questions, and the lesson tips say it is OK.)

Well, it makes sense, but it doesn't carry the connotations of the word 'ugali'. Ugali is of course a kind of food, but it is also very important culturally. If you say 'thick porridge' it doesn't tell you anything about the culture.

"Ugali" and "sembe" are the same thing, no one (in kenya) uses it together
