get smart culturally. They are called 'chiswa'. Highly nutritious, full of protein and mineral salts............I prefer them roasted........such a delicacy....

I had a classmate who rejoiced when the dudus were flying andd he was working on them as they stared at him. "You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality.

Almost emptied whatever i ate in the morning....ching'ende i believe means jiggers (correct me if wrong,anyone),...could not imagine anyone eating them... For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19

@ guka,how do those dudus compare with roast goat ribs in terms of nutrition? goat ribs is what i call nutritious of course if washed down with tusker. Every man is guilty of all the good he didn't do-

They were cooking them outside with tins when playing with other boys... Clearly, my bro dint stop him and when i asked him, he said the other kids had not died... hehehehe... I was surprised at how excited my son looked when narrating how they ate them...... yesterday, when i got home, i found some in a dish...... na zilikuwa na mafuta mafuta... My housegal told me that it was my son who wanted to eat... and she "refused" him... Now, this boy cant cook.. those things were cooked.... The gal being a lunje, its a story i am yet to believe but i do not deny my son would "love" to eat them again given a chance going by earlier excitement about them... me thinks, both, have a huge appetite for these things.... hehehehehehe

@QD,thats why i asked for correction if my understanding was skewed.ng'uen is tsiswa,i agree,but ching'ende am sure rhymes with tsinyende which in Luhya language connotes jiggers no?
