   • 2023 June 7, Felicity Cloake, “How to make vegetable samosas – recipe”, in The Guardian‎^[1], →ISSN:

     Homemade samosas are a world away from those dry cardboard triangles sold under the name in supermarkets. Instead, they have delicately flaky and deliciously rich pastry and a generous stuffing that’s easily tweaked to suit all tastes. […] Repeat with the remaining dough balls and filling, making sure each samosa is well sealed.

• McGregor, R.S, ed. The Oxford Hindi–English Dictionary, Oxford university press. 1993

• Samoas, somaas

     Mikel Munge, onze grote vriend, hoofd van het wildbeschermingskorps in Galole was overgeplaatst naar Ngong in de buurt van Nairobi. Op de klub was er een afscheidsfeest voor hem. Eerst waren er de vele toespraken, en daarna gingen de schalen met geroosterde geit voorbij. Gloeiend hete bloedworst, samoesa's stevig gekruid, en bij dat alles een lekkere slok bier.
