Mzungu (White person) Eating kawunga (maize meal) with his hands

[helgatridr]

I wonder why this is put online, I eat nsima in Malawi and in SA, also I make it back in europe. I don't put video's online of africans eating european food

@helgatridr Americans and, to a lesser extent, Europeans, tend to be a bit snobbish about food, or challenged by unfamiliar things. European dining has spread much farther abroad than has African. At best, even in a city the size of Seattle, you will find some Ethiopian restraunts. It can be amusing to watch an American trying to eat injerra the first time. Nsima, ugali, fu-fu or whatever are a step beyond. You should have seen me the first time I ate Japanese food with chop sticks.

Good, I learn something new, I can use Lime

hmm....so instead of boilin' the maize kernels in lime, to peel the grain skin, i would grind the corn, cook it with hot boilin' water and presto, we have kawunga;....our tlaxcalas(tortillas)we eat with our hands and with beans or meat, maybe some cooked prickly pear as you all eat kawunga with your hands and your stew or greens,....AWESOME!!!
