Nowadays, people do the unusual in their diets. They have unknowingly, and in some cases knowingly consumed animal products which should not even be eaten in the first place.
Some of the weird animal products people consume are listed below:
1. Cats
It's distasteful to see people slaughter cats for human consumption. The recent bizarre revelation was in Nakuru County case where a man was caught slaughtering a cat and said that he had a ready market and clients whom he sold the meat to. He admitted to be in the business for over seven years.
2. Monkeys
This has been consumed in some parts of Murang'a County. A local resident was quoted saying, "monkey meat is not harmful. The animals feed on crops and fruits, which we do eat.” They claim to be feeding on monkeys to reduce their population because they have been destroying their crops.
3. Crocodiles
Traditionally, their hides were vital for the handbags and shoe industry. Interestingly, upmarket restaurants in the country have this delicacy. Locals will also consume the meat on account that it boosts libido in men.
4. White ants and termites
They are popular in Western Kenya where they are locally known as “chiswa”. After a rainy season, they come out of the ground where they are trapped and either eaten raw or after being fried.
5. African sausage 'mutura' stuffed with animal blood
Congealed blood cooked up with various natural flavours such as ginger and garlic are stuffed into the intestines of a cow after it's slaughtered and barbecued. This is a delicacy for many people.
