British mashed potato and peas

Kikuyu traditional land is the cool highlands, what is called temperate climate and it is the same climate in europe. Potatoes do well in those temperate areas both in kikuyuland and europe. That is why the main food of kikuyus and mzungus is potato.
yes dickson mzungu and co took rounds with waithera under the mugumo tree while dedan was away in the detention camp. hence the brown skin @Azor_Ahai types.another thing Waithera used to cook for mzungu so she also cooked for kina sokwetu such types of foods as she was accustomed to and got introduced to potatoes by mzungu. its very simple

The luo call the Kikuyu “Jarabuon” which means “the people of the potato”. Kikuyus were eating potato before mzungu akuje.
This meal in a top london restaurant is the same meal being eaten in many kikuyu homes in the village.
