“LET US HAVE THE MEAT”

I will make this jerk chicken. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. But one day, the jerk chicken will be made. Meanwhile, I’ve got a hankering for some hippo meat:

Two people were injured as villagers scrambled for meat from a hippo that was killed by a vehicle along Thika Road yesterday.

The hippo lay near Clayworks Factory on the busy Thika highway near Kenyatta University for several hours after a speeding vehicle hit it.

Armed with all manner of tools, passersby and local residents rushed to the scene to get a slice of the rare meat.

“I have eaten hippo meat in the past and I know how sweet it is. Let us have the meat,” a man said as he ran to the scene.

Mmmm ... jerk hippo.

  3. “...Let us have the meat,â€? a man said as he ran to the scene.

    Never a truer, nor more philosophical, sentence has been spoken, one that works on so many levels and in so many situations: Let us have the meat.

    Let us have the meat, indeed.

  5. I make a fine jerk chicken myself.  A word to the wise:  when working with scotch bonnet or habenaro peppers, get some surgical rubber gloves and wear them when working with the little bastards.  Do not, under any circumstance, succumb to the need to scratch as men are known to scratch.  You will be sorry.

    That is all.

  6. I think there is a real, unexploited niche in the market for exotic meats. Hippo farms, rhino ranches, etc. I’d certainly fire up the grill every day if it meant marinated capybara steaks for dinner.

  9. So, where’s PETA in all this?  Sounds like their anti-meat campaign is faltering.

  21. My God.  Talk about your road kill.  You have to wonder what kind of vehicle it was.  I once saw a Ford Explorer reduced to scrap from hitting a deer, but a hippo?
