LEADIN:
The rising cost of flour and oil is putting a street food staple in Uganda at risk of falling out of favour.
STORYLINE:
In the suburbs of Kampala, street vendors are busy preparing food for the morning rush hour.
The food stalls here specialise in a Ugandan favourite called a Rolex.
The Rolex isn't inspired by the Swiss watch, but is a word coined from the rolling of eggs in chapattis.
It is the most available street food anywhere in Uganda - you can hardly walk 50 metres without spotting a Rolex stall in any major town across the country.
Rogers Musoke is a fitness trainer and eats Rolex daily.
