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.

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...
