Very true. This one, hakuna sijui hii sijui ile. Cant rule out that some few have learnt to cook well - exceptionally well, but the majority, iko kwa hii description.
This is a true story. The worst kikuyu food i have ever eaten was from my cousin. Ingredients were:
carrots
onions
potatoes
green bananas
nduma
meat
spinach
rice
a whole river of water
a hell lot of fire
ALL in one big sufuria! sort of boiled (claimed they were "fried"). Everything was overcooked and you had to fight with the content to move from the serving spoon to the plate. And for a hungry student to find the food yuck, it sure must have been terrible. Ati he did not want to make the utensils dirty by cooking different meals...
