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


my classmates ate them way back in boarding school coz they were the only alternative to githeri with 5 beans per plate for 7 days a week.




we must have attended one school.
I had a classmate who rejoiced when the dudus were flying andd he was working on them as they stared at him.

@ 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.

@Murenj,
Many years back,i almost killed a neighbour of mine.He fed my son on chiswa (Roasted) kwa ugali and when the mom inquired,the boy narrated happily how he had taken ugali kwa mende....wacha tuu


mmmmmmh... my son happily narrated to me how they ate these things over this past holiday at my brother's place when he visited. 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?
