Living in a house with very picky eaters presents a real challenge when it comes to cooking a meal. Lukily, the picky-ness or differences in requests (read "what I can eat") for the food is only for staples such as rice, "oshithima", macaroni, spaghetti or bread, etc..
So what this means is the vegetables and sauces and meats can be generic for everyone.
For lunch I made meatballs. These moist meatballs are made with grated potatoes instead of breadcrumbs or mashed salt crackers, grated green pepper, grated onion and fresh chilli. Of course potatoes would win, since not everyone eats bread. Another thing I've had to minimize is spice. As a consequence, this version of meatballs used coriander seeds, black pepper corns, cloves and salt.
In the end three separate dishes were served:
(1) Meatballs and Sour dough bread
(2) Meatballs with white rice
Now the rice was just boiled, but you can steam it if you prefer it that way.
(3) Meatballs with Oshithima

The third dish of meatballs was served with oshithima, which is an Owambo hard porridge with Omahangu flour. It has a slightly sour taste and is really good and healthy for you.
Lastly to accompany the dishes, a salad consisting of lettuce leaves, green apples, pealed cucumber, peaches and a sweet and sour lemony dressing was made.
