  1. And he doesn’t mention any meat: chicken, goat, beef, pork! Knowing my people, they must have slaughtered many chickens for this “visitor”, but no mention! And that is how the West is misled!

    • But what is ifishimu, inswa and mbeba, please? Is this tabloid read beyond the Zambian borders? Do all Zambians know this ifishimu? Why is it not newsworthy when a Zambian eats Pizza????!!!!

    • @Suntwe, Insaw is inswa just as Pizza is Pizza anywhere. Sushi is sushi, Egusi oup is egusi soup, matoke is matoke, Chocolate is chocolate, Impwa is impwa, Chibwabwa is chibwabwa, busala is busala. What more do you want?

  2. There you go. Your friends are retreating to indigenous foods, you you are resisting. All processed foods and red meat were categorized carcinogenic i.e. same as tobbacco. Resist at your own peril with cancer. Pizza! Just rubbish. People used to live for 100 years no cancer on fishimu. Today the average life expectance is 49 because we were brain washed to eat rubbish and make it status symbol when its just crap.

  3. The simple message from the bwana is that Zambians must start thinking of processing local food for export; nicely packaged inswa, fishimu or koswe can earn you forex, no matter how little it can be, but in terms of aggregates.

  4. It is food men, we now enjoy chibwabwa, kalembula, impwa, chimpapila, busala, mankolobwe, bondwe. These go down well with t-bone and all that. This guy is not suggesting anything less than human. He is just telling it as it is. Not all western food is great after all.

    • Wanjipaya. But what is Busala? Would like to try Mankolobwe before it becomes extinct. As for Bondwe, I saw it here in NYC on West 104th street. So I can have it, no problem. Thanks for the memories.

  5. Katapa greens sound good. Pack it in neat plastic bags, advertise it professionally and market it globally – forex will surely pour like rain.
