interesting thread. I think knowing the basics is ok,but no need to
sweat this stuff.
The best approach is to be yourself,read online kidogo and practice at
home a bit like shika fork na knife once in a while .

Na chopstix je?

Buffet is real stress to first timers: dude piles so much thigoji/ soup or the first first foods by the time amefikia nyama...he's full kabisa. Out of a full range of all types of nyamas ame sample tu sigoji. Very frustrating. You can literally read the consternation on his face.

Haiye, ni ukweli watu wa Ndondori wanakula tea bag as they take their cup-a-tea? Na ati huko iko tea bags hata za uji?



Lorraine please shed some light on this.

Hi, wazuans.I need help in dining.having grown up in the village and after some struggles i man aged to acquire education and later a job before moving into business.at times i attend dinners in five star hotels where a variety of bland food is served with cutlery,napkins and towels is served.how do you go about it wazuans coz i am used to kosewe where you buy your tasty food wash your hands and enjoy your meal.I also noted some people avoid handshakes,others like a firm handshake and others salute while on their knees.i know wazua is multicultural please advice.


I can see that you have made some money since you made the post below 2 years ago. And now you are 'learning the ropes'as far as 5 star hotels are concerned.

Hahahaha.. Avoid the thigoji but drink the soup. Some of this things should be common sense.I once saw a shagsmondo throw a paper wrapped tea bag into the cup of milk bila unwrapping,like seriously?!!

haha. I saw somebody mix margarine with cornflakes some years back.But he's in states now after winning a lottery.

The biggest problem with people is that they hate change so much.
They think that embracing a foreign way of doing something is equal to doing away with culture and that imo is a misconception.
Thing is when you go to Rome do as they do.Come back home and do it your way.No one cares.

People tell me that I waste fish cz I am too picky.Now If that causes offence where I go,I can swallow it whole with my eyes closed for peace sake.I have eaten things I never knew could eat.
Kuzoea one way of doing something is extremely boring.Jeez! life is supposed to be interesting

I see some mizungus come here and try eating using barehands like us,u see them smile as they do that but when they go back home it's forks and spoons.That is how we should behave.Be flexible not rigid cz we bore!
We all have options.But am the type that loves learning other people's way of doing things.
If they eat using toes I will do exactly that to my satisfaction. Very adventurous and interesting.
But I still got my roots somewhere.

Will send u chopsticks.Got a collection cz whenever I encounter them I don't use nisiachwe kwa table.But it's interesting to play with them if ur in no hurry.

...And while meeting dignitaries from Mogadisho, use your hand and talk while your your mouth is full of spaghetti. Spray some of the spaghetti with your mouth on them as you talk. Don't forget to spit on the sink as many times as you possibly can. Anything outside this is considered lack of etiquette.

I noticed that at Al Yusra,and the pilau is put on a tray and served with ripe bananas.6 guys eat from the same tray and must shout.

I have noticed an influx of Somali men at Savannahs along Koinange street with the lates ipads,tablets,smartphones smartly dressed.I wonder what they do for a living as they are always loaded with wads of 1000 shillings notes.

When eating in a japanese restaurant, always eat with gusto and make noise with your mouth full of food. It is a complement to the chef.
