Tale Of A Village Girl: When Fork, Knife Isn’t Your Thing
Sometime being born in the village and getting exposed to urban life ain’t for the faint-hearted.
Imagine coming from the village where your pit latrines neither have doors nor people use tissue papers then suddenly land into the busy streets of Nairobi. Ehehe, here; you’ve never seen a flashable ablution but in town, that’s the culture.
Here is the gist, I was born and raised in the village some decades ago in the small intestines of Tongaren Constituency – where Yesu wa Tongaren comes from.
And by the way, he’s my neighbour but let me tell you Wanjiro, one day I ate a serviette after being served with chapati at Ndupawa Hotel in Eldoret though let me reserve this ordeal for the sake my girlfriend.
On Facebook, one user by name Nyambuh Maureen has shared her experience in an urban hotel where her tactics in holding a spoon made her ancestors amazed.
On Cooking Ideas Official Facebook group, Nyambuh has narrated that while in a hotel sometime back; she never wanted to expose her villageism after ordering some meal and so she opted to use fork and knife brought with her food.
When silicing her meat and using a fork to pick some potatoes, she claims her potatoes splashed leaving her plate empty.
” Nishai tumia fork na kisu kwa restaurant ndio nisionekane mshamba,,,viazi ikaruka kwa counter 😁😁…kuaibika nayo!! ” Narrates Nyambuh.
According to her experience, the potatoes splashed up to the counter in presence of other customers which fans have claimed perhaps the potatoes had not been cooked well.
However, in our millennial society; not only village boys and girls lack knowledge on how to hold a fork and a knife.
Determining the right hand sto use for holding a knife and a fork proves to be a hard test which eventually leads to embarrassments.
Shockingly, not only villagers but also slays queens suffer and have horrific experiences.
In a nutshell, here are testimonies of Facebook users who attempted to be digitally raised sons and daughters of mother- Kenya.
