Street food in Kenya can be delicious but don’t just buy and food. If you are keen enough, you will realize that those selling street food touch it with bare hand. Most of them don’t have water to clean their hands.
Once you take street foods, especially samosa, roasted maize and mutura,you have to be near a toilet—such food is not clean at all. Furthermore, some of the meat which is sold to you is either spoilt or from slaughtered cat, dog or donkey.
If you are going to buy mutura,go to a major supermarket where they prepare mutura and buy from there.If you are going to buy roasted maize,do it from a clean person who doesn’t touch the maize with bare hands. If you are going to buy samaosa, sausages and Smokies, do it in major supermarkets.
Some guys sell mutura and you don’t even know where they get meat from. When you look around, there is no butchery near them. Be careful when buying mutura from such people.
There is also this idea of buying bottled water from the streets. Some of the sellers get water from the borehole and put it in bottles. The water isn’t even treated well. Drink it and you will regret.
The only street food you can buy and eat comfortably is fruits or boiled eggs.
