NJAHI....love or hate it?

As if bathing a tilapia fish in a sea of watery soup and uncooked tomatoes can ever be termed as “cooking well”.

It actually originated from the Maasai. Kiyuks borrowed the recipe.

That is difficult to tell because Kikuyus and Maasai have lived together and even intermarried for several centuries now.

Look at the best diet… It’s raw and it’s vegan. Doesn’t sound very tasty but yall those taste buds will send yall to an early grave. Look at the husband. He owned a butchery LOL.

I think being vegan is exaggerated. Get sick just like anybody else. People looking young is genetics and exercise and food and diet sometimes. The healthiest people are power lifters. Not the heavy weightlifters. People who lift weights consistently . You will find a 70 year old functioning like a 28 year old.

For the lazy who just depend on media to tell you about tribal cuisines;
Most African cultures depended or perennial food crops-millet, tubers, legumes, and kale. Maize which was introduced by Portuguese was not popular among communities but was later(1930s) re-introduced by settlers as a commercial crop.

Our culinary food (mashakura) was introduced by Europeans:
Missionaries like David Livingstone had reported on Africans’ healthy diets, many of his predecessors held the racist and eugenicist view that food shaped the colonial body. In other words, the European body differed from that of the African people because the British diet and culinary habits differed from culinary habits of the local Africans. Bodies could be altered by diets—thus the fear that by consuming “inferior” African foods, Brits would eventually become like the “natives”. Only proper European foods would maintain the superior nature of European bodies, and only these foods and British food sensibilities could also civilise the “African savages” to be more like their colonisers.

Nearly all countries colonized by Europeans have this meat stew in its cuisine.

And it is indeed true we do eat a lot of European mashakura.

Even the way I cook tea is melodramatic. I had a lunje friend who I cooked some clove and cardamom tea for, she told me if you cook that for a luhya man he will never leave your house. Who doesn’t want to eat or drink the best available meals. Guess what, even women do.

Clove and cardamom tea is Chai ya tangausi. You cant really eat bread or a snack with it. Makes a nice sip but drinking chai kavu for a few days gets tiring.

Most Kenyan tribes have poor culinary skills with the exception of Coast dwellers. The worst affected are western Kenya and Nyanza.

The internet will disagree with you. Its commonly known all over the place that the worst cooks are Okuyus. Isn’t that what this is all about, tribalism?

I am not anti-Luo my brother. I like Luos a lot and have so many Luo friends, business associates and colleagues.

Ghee won’t give the chaps a “funny” taste?

Nah, the taste is amazing. It tastes like the chapos have been bathed in fresh milk but it’s not overpowering.

[Snowball]

@Purple

Since I started using ghee for my chapos, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in their taste. This is what I’ve been using (below) and it’s absolutely amazing!! I’ve never raved about something so simple yet so profound before. My hubby can’t get enough of these tasty chapos.

@bouss Mukimo improves alot when you add thabai (stinging nettle) powder. I usually mash it the night before and let it rest overnight in the fridge. The day after is when I fry it with a little olive oil, onions and garlic.

This Ghee has a strong smell that needs getting used to. The one shown here looks too solid like that trans-fat called Kimbo . Good ghee is sort of runny than that.

,
Wacha uongo!
It a traditional Gikuyu dish and it’s not just one recipe, there are different kinds using different parts on the intestines!
I’ve never had mutura in any maa function and I’ve attended many.
BTW What’s the maa name for mutura?

[Hot_Chocolate]

@dingoo_wa_ingoo

It’s because you are Kikuyu. You don’t know any better.

Actually it’s because you’re not kikuyu, you wouldn’t know any better!

Njahi, dolichos or lablab bean, is a highly nutritious bean, eaten in E Africa, S America and india.

It’s an acquired taste, like fine wine or whiskey only the elite would understand.

Mukimo is nothing to be proud of.

mokimo is the best original meal ! …na si copycat and unoriginal like foods from these other 41 ‘hunter-and-gatherer-tribes’ … msiongee vibaya when mukimo shipped to the forests to fuel the maumau fighters mpaka colonialists locked up all kikuyus in camps…meffi nyinyi…

Njahi needs a good cook , saa zingine it’s good saa zingine inataste kama cardboard na makaa , what can you do ?.. omena si mbaya but it has strings attached …hio harufu na macho will bother you at first but utazoea , boiled omena is the worst but deep fried unaeza kula kama crisps …but omena unaeza choka nayo haraka , ive never wanted to eat omena twice in a row but i can eat mukimo fior a whole week back to back , it gets spoilt very slowly !

Luhyas as well but this time ni chicken. Unashindwa hio soup yote ni ya nini na tena ni soup maji maji.

And other than ugali don’t Western Kenya folks have any other substitutes?

The Okuyu gave you githeri to eat with the watery fish or chicken. They also gave you mukimo. They also gave you chapo which they had in turn copied from the Indian.

You have a mental issue boss. Hehe.
We neither do githeri nor mukimo. We hate them with passion!

@uwesmake @Nanyundo aka @Nyangumi kuja utoe spelling mistakes.

I don’t know why you always want to turn a genuine discussion into an okuyu vs other tribes discussion… I know society develops wit but am afraid yours did the reverse of development!
