-heck even the occasional "mtura" with or without the food poisoning
-roast maize:from the corner of any street in the estate with the seasoning of a squeezed lemon and chilli
-any thing eaten with clean bare hands:from ugali and sukuma. Chapo's with thick beef stew where u place the stew on the triangular piece of chapo and u roll it with hands and eat till ur giddy wit ecstasy.
2. Favourite Kenyan drink:

Nakuru is a cool place....good choice. I love Naks.
Thanks for the responses.
Haki Kenyans will always amaze me. Ati "three four" LOL.
When you mentioned Vioja I remembered Vitimbi...Mzee Ojwang!
And thanks for reminding me of Dennis!
Lakini..wewe Nick..you didn't spread the love. You have to pick 3 of your fellow KBW members.
fave food and chibas get missed?! chips in kenya come in all shapes and sizes.. and are eaten at all times of the day too.. including with chai for breakfast!!
i remember Iregi Kiosk next to AKPS.. jamaa those slices were big! one chip was like a baseball bat!!
yes i agree with Mama JY.. Vitimbi manze!! that was the mother and father of all the rest of these clones!!
favourite kenyan drink and none of KBL's (or is it EABL now?!) Gold medal winning brews are even mentioned.. kweli nicko.. kwani unaishi wapi wewe? if you've seen the light, then you, you keep it where the fish don't swim.. wacha madharau!! :P
hey nicko was it just you and me ama no one hangs out on the steps of '20th' anymore?! daud the rude.. si even you were there with us!
malindi is a very nice place too to go chill out.. and a lot of smaller north coast places.
lol ati meet at nandos then proceed to kenchic lol
I feel u on the Java note..I mean surely - its like when u pita right beside the mama ngina one, u find folks posing there waiting, making sure they are seen..all in the name of cool..
Nicko! you forgot to add lyrics
to patriotic songs that only
choirs sing and oh yeah, the same
songs that you have for your ringtone.
Can you remember the tunes to this songs?
Wengi wa wauliza tutaijenga
Hii Kenya yetu kwa njia gani
Kuijenga Kenya ni rahisi
neno harambee ndiyo msingi
Kitu cha kwanza ni umoja
na cha pili ni uhuru wetu
na cha tatu kenya yetu
hatutaki ukabila.
and..
Kenya, Kenya, Kenya taaifa letu
kenya, Kenya, kenya nchi yetu
oh yeah and KBC staples like Sanaa ya kiswahili and mambo leo...
Mgeni kumpokea, kumbe ni kujitongea
Soray, I never stood outside at 20th Century,I found Nicko standing there. Apparently Nicko had been hanging outside Java trying to look cool, but when the management so his fat ass outside, they asked that he move to let the sunshine come in kidogo.
This guy is a menace to society
Daud bin rude
ditto the one about Kenya Airways crew aki those chicks tune wazunye men ati "sir" this na "sir that (no wonder wazunyes really like that airline). They dont call nyeuthis "sir" methinks its a ploy of theirs to find a mzunye husband.
I am trying to find the music from the movie the Constant Gardener. I don't want to soundtrack but the Kenyan artists....do you know them?
