There has been discouragement of consumption of red meat which has kept me asking this question.Is matumbo part of red meat ama ni white meat?

If white , then why cant people be encouraged to consume matumbo instead of red meat?

what are some dangers of eating well cooked matumbos?
Can prolonged consumption of Matumbo cause gouts ?

In the first place what is 'nyama'? If it is flesh of an animal, a bird or a reptile, then 'matumbo' and 'kaigangio' are also flesh. It is now up to you to decide which one to be turned into a meal.

"There has been discouragement of consumption of red meat which has kept me asking this question.Is matumbo part of red meat ama ni white meat?"
I find that most recommended foods for a healthy lifestyle are dreadful to eat,..(think tofu, asparagus, broccoli, boiled cabbage etc), I am not able to torture myself by forcing these down my throat...eat some red meat, drink some beer or wine and kick a ball about every now and then, lift a few weights, walk..or jog. All in moderation. You will be set. Eat and exercise. Its the lesser evil.

Bangi imewashwa as early as Monday...

Mimi sijui,Guka's input missing in this. I know he has eaten many of these. Vile zinakuanga soft kwa wazee.Maybe akiachiliwa atatuambia.

Lakini Wazuans si we changa for guka aachiliwe?

Maybe start a Release Guka Fund ya bond .
Haki mututho amekosea guka!!!!

Guka is a dealer with safaricom (low revenues), a bar owner (mututho law) and had bought a 14-seater matatu (oblivious of the fact that it was not going to be registered for PSV). Sasa zote zimempata.

@kusadikika

I surely have never heard of that. Medicinal value? okay, I choose not to believe and I choose also not to deny.

Link below has answers for Tripe and the other kinds of meat...

Even though the discussion is mostly in regards to pets, it's still informative....In summary

TRIPE :

Tripe is the common term for the stomach lining of cattle and sheep.

Most tripe sold for HC has been washed in boiling water and bleached. Green tripe is the term used for un-processed tripe and is highly nutritious as a meat source. It is very low in fat (2%), highly glandular (contains enzymes), and is loaded with probiotic micro-organisms. Tripe is also a 'white" meat (meaning it has a low amount of myoglobin, the protein that makes red meat red), and has historically been used for dogs with sensitive digestive tracts, or food allergies. I have utilised tripe for some time now as an alternate to kangaroo meat for treating difficult cases of allergic dermatitis in dogs (and occasionally cats) with great results.

SUMMARY - TRIPE
Tripe is very affordable, but can be difficult to source, and this is one of its main limitations. An excellent source of nutrition and, if available, should be very highly regarded as a fresh meat for pets

@ Vinii,

Wewe tafuna matumbo na roho moja... wacha maswali ngumu... Matumbo ni matumbo boss.

Pesa ikirudi, tutauliza maswali kama hayo!!

dont bother. if u live in nbi u must by now have eaten tonnes on tonnes of cow, donkey,zebra and goodness-knows-what other types of matumbo given all the reports we keep reading of busted vendors of game meat.
If u think matumbo is extreme, visit Kampala for a very much widely loved delicacy called chigere - i.e boiled cattle hooves.
among the gikuyu, even cow hide was considered a delicacy...
