Nyama choma
Grilled goat meat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nyama Choma is a specialty of grilled or barbecued goat meat or cattle meat. Roasted meat is very popular in Tanzania and Kenya, where it is considered the national dish.[1] The expression nyama choma means "barbecue meat" in Kiswahili.[2] Nyama choma gatherings are informal with people convening around an open fire for any special occasion and at any occasion with a grill. Thus it is a social custom in much of Eastern Africa.[3]
