whats that west african dish which has marrow and soupy cassava mixture? i hear its an insult to use your teeth when you eat it. You’re supposed to “mumunya” it because its so smooth and soft
They normally just call it “soup” but it will be a mixture of all types of meat they can get e.g Matharigo,matumbo,fish,beef,…any meat! in a stew and if you are not careful they even throw Snail in the mix!..
My West African friends know that i don`t eat snail so they better not do that to me lakini to them its just another meat.
Apana,they pull it out of the shell alafu wanaiosha na (magadi soda) and all the slimmy shit comes off alafu inakuwa tu kama nyama ya kawaida. Totally disgusting if you are a Kenyan but very normal for them.
