On Saturday morning I went - with two other muzungus - to find the African Bagel Company. I had heard that you could buy freshly made doughnuts on a Saturday morning for just 500frw (50p). You can.
You can also buy - as the name suggests - bagels.
The place was hidden away down a lane behind a big metal gate with the letters ABC written on it. None of us noticed this so we went for a 30 minute walk down some rural lanes asking confused Rwandans about bagels. None of them knew of it and, when we eventually found it, we saw why. Inside the gate everybody was a muzungo. The place is run by some Americans living in Kigali, and is frequented by an almost entirely white clientele. The doughnuts were delicious, but I think African Bagel Company is a misleading name; it should be called the American Bagel Company.
