@gm076132 Do you think Kenyans have the money, materials, or facilities to practice your hygienic techniques? I've eaten insects and other things around the world that would probably make you puke.  It was all the delicious and cooked with love. I've never gotten sick either, at least from eating anything abroad. FYI the cooking process eliminates 99.9% of all pathogens so don't worry. As Andrew Zimmern says “if it looks good eat it”. The government has enough problems to deal with.

@oridniv I am British and I lived two and a half years in Kenya and yes your natural immunity does build up a couple of horrendous stomach upsets when I first arrived then I was OK the thing that got me baffled was when I travelled from the Kisii Highlands to Nairobi I always had Bronchitis or similar? some tried to tell me it was like hay fever? But the shops are full of bronchial medicine one dubious but good one containing creosote!

@Microglia1 Most Kenyans have three languages Their Tribal mother tongue eg, "Luo" then Swahili the official Kenyan Language and then all education and exams are taken using English. I have a friend who runs a school in Kisii and the children speak to her in Swahili and she replies back in English and they hold conversations in two languages each speaking her own and the children are only in primary school! Mind boggling!

@NattyLocz You may know more? but I would have thought Mombassa being the main East African port and lorries going" to and fro" transport would not be that expensive?

Where was the Ugali and Sukuma wiki? That's Kenyan food!?

[MrMaakoss]
