My female friends, we have a problem here. Someone explain. Please.
A few years ago, you invited a girl for a date and she will turn up all dressed well, behave so well and when the food came, they will dexterously handle the cutlery, chew the food so well, sexy and all. Mouth closed. No talking when chewing and swallowing. Always they left the food half-way. All the women I took to Kosewe for instance, just ate half of the half of the top part of the fish. They hated the kienyeji chicken. I came to bitterly accept that taking a girl under 28 to Kosewe was a stupid way to spend money.
I don't know what devil happened.
Lately you take a woman to a date and they rarua the food like a mason and those village fundi wa kupasua mbao.
I have noticed with horror as women complain about portions in hotels, threatening the management that they will switch to a rival restaurant.
Nowadays you sit down, food is served and the first thing a Nairobian girl does is paint the food with so much pepper. Yuck. Then they have dropped the pretences and done away with the cutlery. You should see a girl ripping the meat of a stubborn goat rib. I never knew that women have such strong jaw bones. God.

At Kosewe nowadays, women can rarua a fish and eat it so well including sucking its head ( the fish's head, that is) and ask for ugali sosa. The way they manhandle that fish may make you think that they are all Luos born at the shore of the lake. That kienyeji chicken they used to despise now they deal with it like no woman's business. Eish. They eat it and remind you they probably have Luhyia ancestors.
Damn. My female pals kindly tell me why these sudden change of behaviour.
