safari food

we have been very surprised when our tour operator said that Emanuel our mountain cook cannot go on safari as he "is not a safari cook"
our question so what is the difference between a safari and a mountain cook has only been responded by blank stares......as if everybody knew the difference and the difference is anyway crystal clear...well it was not for us....
NOW after 5 days with a so called safari cook we know....
a mountain cook offeres loads of food and food is always more than enough on the table whereas a safari cook - or at least our safari cook cooked just as much as so we could not really complain....but it was always too little food and always the same taste and not very tasty at all......
so it was rice with vegetables and pasta with vegetables ...but always the same taste and far too little.....
and no variety ...
and we had the impression that he divided one egg to the whole party......
so we were constantly hungry the last 5 days..........
