Part of what he wrote read:

"I've never bought Githeri in a hotel. Like never. It actually doesn't matter how sweet the 'murram' is said to be in a certain kibandaski, even if that kibandaski is near Kempiski. Even if they told me the Githeri was boiled using the same tears shed by Lot when his wife was turned into one big granule of Sodium Chloride.

Imagine growing up in a Kikuyu home where a large sufuria is used to boil Githeri enough to last a whole family for six days, and on the sixth day, the old lady is there winnowing more maize and beans for another fresh pot of the same."

Maina also added that he ate Githeri for two years straight in high school, that he cannot be working and still eat or buy the delicious dish in his house.

Lady spends GHc1.5k on tiny cuisine

Social media users were attracted to a post shared by one lady who said she paid KSh 27k for a meal at one of her favourite restaurants.

The woman, seemingly based in the United States, shared a photo of a meal and included the delicious dish's price.

Many felt the food did not deserve such a bill, and some expressed an interest in visiting the restaurant to spoil themselves.
