I heard that, the impeza was created by a white man!
These West Africans always think we should ALL driving on the right hand side of the road, poor them. have you ever visited U.K or other East and Southern Africa nations you will also continuing culture shocking...
Us we don't like Pepe, Pepe is for loudy motherfuckers, silent motherfuckers don't Like PEPE
Their entire economy is built on tourism why would they not be oriented towards catering to tourists??? Nothing interesting about this video.
I was in Nigeria for a month and I can tell you for sure that we Kenyans don't appreciate Mpesa enough. Accessing money was a struggle.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
When you travel around central kenya make sure you get traditional(fermented) porridge. It's made of Maize, cassava, millet, sorghum, barley flours. They might refer to the ingredients in the Kikuyu, Meru, Embu/local languages even at the shops but if you ask for translation they'll definitely tell you the English names. So we do consume those things just prepared differently and sometimes only on special occasions because they are not as plentiful. We also have yams mostly im Western Kenya but in the central area our substitute is Taro/arrow root and sweet potatoes. Most people in Nairobi don't regularly consume traditional foods unless they are intentional about it. That's why you might not have a wholesome outlook on the variety of foods found all over the rural and less urbanized areas of Kenya.
We do have yam (gikwa) in central Kenya/Mt. Kenya but people use it for their own consumption. It is not grown as much as it used to be because it takes long and is labor intensive. When you find it for sale, it is expensive. Other than that, your comment is Spot On!
There's A LOT of pepper grown in Kenya. A very wide variety too but we export most of it because we don't really use it in our food. It's like coffee, we grow a lot of it but export most of it because we're tea drinkers. Cassava (mwanga), yams (gikwa), millet are all here. When you visit the Mt. Kenya counties, just ask for them, you will find them. Oh and when you go to Mombasa, by the beach, they make THE BEST Cassava crisps/chips and yes, they put pepper on them if you want. You must try this!
😂😂😂 another one, Kenyans don't swallow food, we chew 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@KennethnwacheYT😂😂😂yes,we chew!
Very true
Brother Nwache , i like your videos,they are short but full of details and you are not bias, please adapt Kenya as your second home,your respect and love for kenya will make you do very well ,unlike some other guys you are a calm guy and lovable.
Kenya actually exports cassavas, We grow yams too. We just dont like making them into pastes😅
Hapo kwa yams umedangaya bro 😂😂
@@stiches803Ni ukweli aky ziko but small quantity 😂😂😂
@@stiches803 No it's true yams are in Kenya. We just don't eat them as such. Just like pork. We normally eat pork in sausages from years ago but not the pork meat perse. When I came to the US they have beef meat, pork meat, chicken meat. I honestly had no idea what pork meat look like until I got here. We have pork home we just don't eat the meat like Asians or Americans. Maybe now but back in the days nope.
@@njokikaranja3458 mm najua tukona nduma na mihogo , yams nayo cjawahi ona 😂 na wasee hukula pork meat ata kuna butchery za nguruwe
@@stiches803 shame on you also for being ignorant about Kenya. And fukk you for thinking we are all poor like you.
Kenyan used to eat all types of boiled or roasted tubers, pumpkins and banana plantain especially for breakfast just like in Uganda but due to westernization of their food, it was considered poor to eat such food for breakfast. so, they adopted the queen breakfast which consist of sausages, buttered bread slices with bacon, fruit juices and eggs with processed cereals like Weetabix etc to this day. Kenyan people born from around the age of former President Uhuru Kenyatta are known as the 'Weetabix generation' because they grew up on the said western dishes for breakfast to date.
kikuyu staple food among others consists of all known tubers like Yams, arrow roots, cassava, sweet potatoes etc and they eat pepe too. As a kid I remember my uncles showing me what is a yam plant and the tree they plant yam next to in my grandma home garden. It when I realized that yam is a creeping plant. With time grandma stopped growing yams but the yam support tree stayed for years. I like that tree but don't see it type any more.
Kamba people of Kenya eat alot of casava.
Great content, really enjoyed and learnt alot about Kenya.
Awesome! Thank you!
We have vassava in Kenya, we call it Mihogo. Every country has its own types of food, so you are unlikely to get Nigerian food everywhere unless in a restaurant that serves it specifically
I can tell you have a proper experience looking at the areas you have visited. You are the only blogger from outside Kenya who has taken time to know the country. Only info I do not agree with you is cassata part. Cassava is a delicacy in Kenya but not as popular as Ugali. At the coast it is prepared with coconut milk or deep fried with chilli and lemon. In upcountry Kenya its boiled as breakfast. You have done well though. Kudos
We have yams and cassavas alot actually in our farms But it's not eaten alot. We prefer arrow roots and sweet potatoes.
You have traveled around Kenya so you have well rounded feedback unlike some ytubers who make a review from only staying in Nairobi.
Yams are there every corner, cassava are also there but we do not use as much.
Here in Kenya we actually have our own winter ❄️ on July But we don't have snow But During that period temperature can fall up to 10 but in Kijabe Nyahururu Molo it's even more colder than Nairobi
Love culture shock videos.
We know cassava, boil add coconut milk. Its also mixed with finger millet and sorghum to make ugali!
Western side of Kenya and other places in rural areas have a lot of cassava and yams. Mostly found in the country sides of Kenya.we use cassava to make ugali "swalo"
About the cassava, we have it but people only eat it whenever there is a famine…so you’ll not find “muhugo” unless there is food scarcity
Nigeria and Ghana used to drive on the left too, but changed so as to fit with the French neighborhood
We have yams and cassavas but mainly eaten by the older generation.
Great description of your personal experience(s) 👍🏾
Kenyan dishes varies from region:
Breakfast:
Boiled cassava. Sometimes people can substitute with sweet potato added with chai (tea).
Kenyans love their tea with breakfast. Well Kenyans love tea full stop/period. 😂
Street food:
1. Fried/roasted/grilled mogo (cassava) with salt, pili pili and maybe a dash of lemon 🍋
2. Crispy mogo/cassava chips (fries) with seasoning like pili pili
3. Mogo/cassava crisps (potato chips) with salt and pili
Or...
4. Muhogo wa Nyama (Meat stew with cassava)
4. Muhogo wa nazi (cassava in coconut)
*Luos make their ugali from cassava
And there are some of these tubers used in stews (sweet potato, etc).
And some potato mashup dishes along with maize, peas, potatoes and pumpkin/pumpkin leaves.
I personally like temperate or cool weather. Or if hot, at least dry heat. I don't like humidity/mugginess.
Who wants to get out of the shower and feel like they need to jump right back in due to humidity 🤷🏾♀️ 😂
What surprises me about any country you can visit? The hidden, underrated or downplayed gems which can be geographical locations, preserved customs, infrastructure, or when the people are overwhelmingly kind and generous.
Look forward to part 2
✌🏾
Luos don't make "their" ugali from cassava. Its predominantly maize. There is in fact no ethnic ugali. Do you have something against my people.
I've also realized what West Africans call tea is not necessarily tea...they use the term collectively for hot drinks- tea, hot chocolate etc...and they make their tea with condensed milk or powder milk like Nido....rarely will you find actual liquid maziwa in their homes.
@@SGOA32178
Your people? No comment.
Check again on the cassava thing.
I never said solely or purely cassava.
@@SGOA32178cassava is mixed with millet or sorghum..milled into flour..its called kwon bel when cooked
@@fellybilalI think the guy has lived in town for long.Luos have various ugali like millet and cassava flour sometimes with mixed with maize,then we have cassava, sorghum and maize mixed ( kuon Kal) and all those are also used for porridge
Great. About yams and cassavas they are found in rural in area there they are mostly boiled n eaten at breakfast. There is cassava chips and they are mostly eaten and sold in coastal Kenya. For you to find them you have to use Swahili or local names.
Kenya doesn't produce yams but we mainly produce arrowroots
In Kenya we have yam and cassava. Our home village Murang'a 🇰🇪 we have a lot of cassava but we eat we as option B
point of correction,there is alot of pepper (pilipili),chilies in Kenya ,go to city park market you will find all types of pepper this is due to the large Indian population that lives here .
Actually, in Kenya, we have yam, cassava, arrow roots, name them, bt they go by local names. In cental wen u go, ask for Nduma, gikwa, mianga and you will be able to buy. Other regions too have them
As a Kenyan, we have plenty of pepper. Coastal region communities tend to use it more than other kenyan communities.
You should visit the coastal region
Busia have a lot of fufu which is mixed ugali floor.Dependance on maize is the cause of hunger.However we have variety of foods
Driving on the left has many advantages we have access to the Japanese domestic market cozt they also drive on the left if yu noticed in kenya we have alot affordable used cars we get from japan
And British(EX UK) cars too..thats where we got the RHD thing to begin with
Cassava and yam are common traditional meals.. you can never miss them in a Kenyan market,and groceries.,.. thanx sir welcome back to the capital of Africa
My mom grows and cooks cassava we mix corn n cassava.I still love Nigerian food so much though. Cassava is healthy .
We have take and arrow roots and cassava n plenty of it so is chilly or peppers at the coast of Kenya from Mombasa to lamu
I agree with you on the cassava issue.we gave up cassava for maize.it’s still planted in some rural communities but nowhere near the way west Africa does it.the pepper insult is not even funny.thank you for picking up a free Swahili words during your trip.stay blessed
Asante sana!
In July it's always change of weather till mid August then warmth starts
If you ever come to Mombasa hit me up i take you around so you can enjoy cassava fufu, we call it bada and cassava leaves we call it mpea, plus many more delicious foods
Maize get mixed with cassava actually in Kenya and make ugali out of it. Luo land parts of Kisiiland. Can be mixed with millet for porridge.
We do have cassava in Kenya! We make boiled, grilled and chip cassava. We also used pili pili! Depends where you are!!
I love my ugali mixed with maize flour/cassava and millet. Delicious.
No keneth, you're wrong becos cassava and yams here in Kenya you gonna find it in western kenya eg Teso community plants more cassava than maize for really. And me i do love the fufu which made from cassava u knw
I have never seen yams in Kenya maybe sweet potatoes and arrow roots
@@ligskitchenthere are lots of yams in Central and Eastern Kenya, especially Meru and Embu. Especially yams has a special place in Meru culture.
pam tree 🌴is here in Kenya. everything we eat in west Africa is here in Kenya.When you speak Swahili language then you will find out what am telling you.Try also to visit Mombasa you will see okra and bitter reef's pam wine are there in Mombasa its called mnazi.kakamega is also cold like Nairobi.Kenya is a peaceful country.Very hard to see people fighting like how we do fight with bottle bust person head for street😂😂.If you talk loud here they will say that you are shouting oga😅😅 Kenyans are lovely people and they have good relationship with Nigeria that's all!
We grew up in the village in Siaya county eating alot of cassava but yes today the production is too little to be noticed.I should visit Nigeria.
We have cassava, mostly it's mixed with millet for cooking porridge.
Ohh wow
@@KennethnwacheYTwhere I come from,eastern part of Kenya, we eat it roasted,boiled,or cooked with githeri.
In my home.area we mix maize, cassava and.millet to.make delicious traditional ugali
@@bellaolum9768 I would love to try it
@@TrizaBundi they grind it all together and you get a nice light brown coloured ugali 😋
Come to Busia n see thise things ur talking about ...we have yams ...cassava...sweet potatoes etc ...is close to Uganda ..infact u can cross to Uganda for 5 mins n back ...
Wow now I know. As a Kenyan advise you to learn about western Kenya about luhyas they embrace cassava Yams and millet and physically they are more like west africa they thrive in sports boxing soccer and rugby above all very friendly and welcoming to everyone they will offer you chicken their main food. Their political
Opinions are moderate in nature and they mind their own business
We also have millet a d sorghum ugali, it brown look like Nigerian Amara
Cassava or muhogo is for porridge only especially in rural areas but u can't see in urban....
Oga Kenneth, Kenya grows a lot of cassava, arrow root , and sweet potatoes especially in the western and Nyanza region..they actually make ugali using cassava and finger millet, i think you did not get time to experience that
Hey Kenneth all those items you are talking about and saying aren't in Kenya they are there only that people in Urban areas don't consume them much.If you go to rural areas in Kenya they have alot if you are in Urban areas go to a big market eg Marikiti in both Mombasa and Nairobi you'll find all that do your research well.I like your videos #Abutonney watching from James Cook University Queensland Australia
Cold season now
Thank you master
Wait until you arrive at Meru,Kirinyanga, Embu.... you will see that Yams grows in the wild and Cassava is not something you take in most markets in Kitui Machakos...etc.
Yams grow in the wild? Interesting 😂😂
There is cassava in Kenya and if you want alot of chilles go to mombasa,all what you said we have in Kenya,
About cassava and yams that’s not true all those things are in Kenya is only that we have other preferences
Hi Mayugno sent me here
We have cassava have even planted some
We have yams and cassavas in Kenya, just not a popular delicacy in most tribes.
There are a lot of yams and cassavas in East Africa
Guys, most countries colonized by Britain drive on the left of the road. And indeed, all countries in Eastern and Africa all the aay downto South Africa keep to the left
We have cassava and yams in Kenya,..
I also go for months without touching money. Kenya should simply stop printing money
Delarue closed a month ago due to that factor plus others
It's true though the government banned the cassava farming and then re introduced.
We know I eat cassava come to Mombasa same as in naigeria to get sukuma is difficult
Hi Kenneth, I'm a kenyan, why didn't you mention about our free and strong WiFi in every public place
That us we are Kenyas full of fun
You will be hard pressed to find yam here but cassava is in plenty, mostly in the country side in Western Kenya i guess
Cassava is in plenty man. We do not plant them in the city rocks but are readily available on demand😄😄😄
I think ur biggest culture shock shock u didn’t wanna say is there’s NO BLACKOUTS in Kenya 😂😂😂😂or generators everywhere making noise 😢😢😢😢😢style up my friend
Just like Naija, No blackout 😅😂😂
I am a Kenyan, There is no cassava and yams in Kenya ha ha ha!
Cassava is there but not widely used
Cassava we have in plenty, what we don't know is yam
you didnt talk about what you saw of the kenyan tourism mombasa or infrustructure
We grow cassava alot but yams no
we know cassava, it's just that we don't eat it on a regular basis
Man boiled yam is ok. The paste you make out of it, ah ah...that cold water raw paste is a nóoo..
We export cassava mon Ami. We are grand in cassava in 254
Point of correction Kenneth,in Kenya we eat raw pilipili especially in kachumbari
Pilipili si kali kama their pepe. The pepe are tiny and you can confuse the to baby hoho. Lakini ni kali wewe. If that is put in kachumbari we will sue you😅😅😅
..the difference is in Nigeria and west africa, ground pilipili is used the way we use kitunguu when cooking everything. You have to sweat to say you ate well.The pepper in our kachumbari sio kitu kwao.
Brother you didn't ask cassava while in Kisumu,kisumu there cassava is eaten alot
We have cassava and yams just not a staple. Same way you have corn in Nigeria but not a staple food there. Let’s just embrace our diversity
Ugali is a staple in northern Nigeria ie to say half of Nigerians eat ugali.
Mpesa ❤
Sorry sir, in Kenya we grow cassava and yarn , we make flour to prepare ugali , we boiled, and fried, only we don't value them as main dishes
You didn't tour much around Siaya county(Obama's village) we grow lots of cassava in Siaya, Migori, Homabay and parts of coast
hey oo so they dont have pepper soup there....omo.....i cant eat and enjoy a food...without pepper oo...so yam no de there.....omo na wa........Nairobi is fine i love the roads and serenity thats all
That shocked me to know that Kenyans don't know Yam, Cassava.. I got to know that when I watched Marwa while he was in America and a Nigerian took him to a Nigerian shop to buy some Nigerian foods and Marwa was asking to know Yam. I no fit stay there bro.
What about the matatu culture?
Of course Kenyans know what cassava is. Most of us have never seen or know what yam is
Visit Masai Mara for great wildbeast migration
Driving left or right is not a big deal. Many countries drive on the right and on the left.
He didn’t say it was a big deal. It was merely an observation
Abeg! ....Cassava is almost grown evrywhere in kenya not we dont know
😂😂😂 a real one 👊👊
You missed out on visiting kericho County
Your statement is very wrong....... In Kakamega there is alot of Yams, Millet and cassava. You should try Brown Ugali (traditional) Made out of millet and Cassava.
There's no yam in kakamega only arrowroots
@@jamesokoth6655 Am from Kakamega my friend go to the county market. You'll find the Yams. They are planted along river Isiukhu, R. Nzoia and other small rivers.
@@Easyork that is not yams I have lived in western and traversed those sides and I will still tell you there's no yam just arrowroots
@@jamesokoth6655 Arrowroot is a starch obtained from the rhizomes (rootstock) of several tropical plants. Yams , Sweet potatoes, cassava and so on... are all in the category of arrowroots.
@@Easyork google is your friend buddy
Cassava is not very popular with Kenyan cuisine.
There is cassava just know the local name of it
Please who ever told you we don't know what cassava and yams he doesn't know are the coast people eat. We eat all kinds of food in the coast, please
cassava we know but yam no
Cassava is grown in the Western parts of the country though not as much as in the 90s and 80s.
For pepper, we don't like it
Which Kenya you're in Kenya there's more cassava sweet potato and yams in Kenya is arrow root and cassava they don't cook like Nigerian but cassava is more in Kenya
😅😅😅😅😅i would like to meet with you n be your tour guide
