NOSTALGIC! Questionable Food Combinations we all ate in Kenyan High Schools

school struggles- Zumi

Most Kenyans will agree that some of the best and craziest memories were made in high school. From the food, to the never-ending war between ‘Cops’ aka Prefects and ordinary students, the matrons, the teachers… it was all just major fun.

Let’s be honest, high school was a very dark time food wise. I mean some of the things we ate was not fit to be served to human. If it was not badly cooked ugali, then it was weevils and maize and beans. Let’s not forget the cabbages and sukuma wiki that were hacked like firewood and then boiled to death. Fam, the struggle was real.

1.Mkorogo

Fam, if you don’t know what this is then please take your private school self out of this and go sit at the back. Who did not eat the mixture of cocoa, sugar and blueband? Who? There is absolutely nothing that can make you eat it now but back in high school when things were thick, mkorogo was king.

2.Plain blue band

Sis, that weevil infested maize and beans were not going to go down easily. You have not lived until someone has melted huge globs of blue band into a bowl of githeri and eaten it in front of you. I mean…Just try and do that now. You’re gagging reflex will go crazy.

3. Mchuuzi

Yes, you read that right. It is Mchuuuzi with to UU’s because it tasted so good you guys. The only problem we had back then was if you were not careful, you would spend your whole life on the toilet with a “running stomach”.  It was worth the risk though. Good times were had by all.

4. Avocado

Avocado is bae! Please let us not argue. There was no way boiled cabbage and undercooked ugali was going to go down without the power of avocado. Watu wa avocado is trash, please keep your own comments inside your house under the bed. Let people enjoy being nostalgic
