@ niando, there is absolutely no danger of eating well prepared matumbo...in fact for the sake of satisfaction and the feeling that you have eaten some flesh, matumbo is the thing... the only problem is that the matumbo has no nutrional value to the body...that is as per the medics... the same applies to the intestines, but the intestines are a bit unique...once the intestines have been emptied manually the little stuff that remains in the intestines has a medicinal value...the mistake that butchers make is puting a hose on one end and opening the tap for a blast...and the real important pulp in the intestines lining is washed away.....

@Kagangio Wee wacha...weka link ya kusema that the little stuff that remains in the intestines has a medicinal value

Red meat refer to meat that has high level of myoglobin which makes the meat to turn red but when it comes to issues concerning health it refers to meat that is unhealthy due to the concentration of cholesterol or saturated fat. Matumbo although white in colour is actually unhealthy due to cholesterol/saturated fat.It is therefore classified as red meat.

Hii ni mambo mababu ya mababu zetu walijua kutoka zamani. Hakuna link kama vile hakuna link ya kusema Ugali wa wimbi na samaki ni lishe bora hata ingawa sote tunajua ni kweli. Link ni za kisomo cha wazungu.

Addiction. Note matumbos are not meant to be thoroughly washed, wacha ninino kidogo, which when cooked with onions, nyanyas n pilipili added kwa umbali is terribly sweet esp. when served with a generous helping of african cake (ugz). But for Nbi-based goats/cattle, wash thoroughly as their eating habits are very peculiar (like their human counterparts) - indeed some nbi goats from certain quarters i will not mention will not eat leftover chips if hazina tomato sauce.
