Kenya Nyama Choma
When you visit Kenya, be sure to try the nyama choma - this dish is very popular with locals. This dish is made by grilling meat over an open fire. In fact, men used to joke about cooking meat outdoors while women ate less-delicious cuts. The meat should be grilled over fire for one and a half hours, and covered with aluminum foil. In addition, it is served with a side salad of chopped vegetables, or even a fresh vegetable salad called kachumbari.
