Aah apana I think that the kahawa in Kenyan shops can vary (from the one exported) like the Kenyan coffee I buy here is rated 3 (strong) whereas other kahawas are 1/2. Otherwise ongeza extra if brewing fresh (woi I’m getting overexcited I dont nunua any other country’s kahawa)

@Kui – I agree kabisa about our kahawa, Kenya (& I think all of Africa) only produces blended coffee.

Ditto on the decaff coffee, I've never tasted the stuff but half the point of drinking coffee is to keep awake!! ps Kenyan coffee is the best in the whole world!! Mama JunkYard Says: My sentiments exactly!! Lakini I have to confess...as patriotic as I am..I find Kenyan coffee a bit weak.

Get rid of non-smoking bars? Mama JunkYard Says: Yes Jerry. Drinking and smoking go hand in hand.

6. What is the best way to eat a mango?

-Wash your hands and the mango
-Cradle mango gently in one hand broadside up
-carefully slice off flesh from one side with a sharp knife
-set remaining part down and hold fleshy slice with fingertips
-cut flesh into squares approx 1cm cubed
– invert the skin so that fleshy cubes stick out yearningly towards your mouth
-Delicately take each cube into your mouth and bite off its succulent juiciness
-repeat until all of its gone. Do NOT eat the skin (God knows who touched it last)
-pick up remaining mango and repeat process with the other fleshy side
-repeat process with remaining thinner sides of the mango
-shave off any remainng flesh with a knife being careful not to get any juice on your hands or clothes
-Discard the skin and the seed
-Do not attempt to eat the remaining flesh left on the seed – its bitter!

Do it yourself, if you want it done right

I will do it, MJY, especially now while seeking a ‘map’

Hah, Margaret in Germany, you have never eaten a mango! I want to tell you eating a mango is close to nirvana but think this is way OTT. But it comes close
