Jeff Koinange's First Taste of Boiled Cow Head: "Moto Kama Pasi"
Jeff Koinange’s First Taste of Boiled Cow Head
Jeff Koinange, a well-known journalist from Citizen TV, recently experienced something entirely new—boiled cow head. This unusual delicacy was introduced to him by his Hot 96 colleague, Patrick Igunza. For someone raised in a more affluent environment, this was a completely new experience, and it turned out to be quite an adventure.
The two have developed a strong friendship while co-hosting their radio show. Igunza has been instrumental in showing Jeff a different side of life, one that's far removed from the comforts of his upbringing. Their dynamic is filled with playful banter and even some friendly wagers. One such bet involved translating the word "barren" into Kiswahili, with a significant financial stake on the line.
During a discussion about the Mashemeji Derby, Igunza challenged Jeff to translate the word "barren" into Kiswahili. They agreed on a KSh 100,000 wager, where Jeff would owe Igunza if he failed. In return, Igunza promised to pay Jeff KSh 10,000 monthly if he lost the bet. The stakes were high, but so was the fun.
A Unique Culinary Experience
On January 28, Hot 96 shared a video capturing Jeff's first taste of boiled cow head. The preparation process involves burning off the hairs on the cow's head, followed by thorough cleaning with brushes. Once cleaned, the head is placed in a steel pot and boiled for an extended period, often until the skin peels off the bone.
In the video, Jeff was seen licking his fingers after taking a bite of the meat. He asked, “Where is the brain?” as the attendants laughed. Curious about the source of the meat, he then approached a boiling pot filled with heads and a rich broth. The waiters informed him that they started boiling the heads at 8 am, which impressed Jeff.
“Well done. Tia uzito,” he said before fist-bumping the staff. They also mentioned that they sell around 10 cow heads daily, with each costing approximately KSh 2,500. “The sales are KSh 25,000. Not bad,” Jeff remarked.
When asked about the taste, Jeff described it as “Moto kama pasi ya makaa,” which translates to “hot like a fire in the mouth.”
Kenyan Reactions
Kenyans took to social media to share their thoughts on the clip. Kwembur wrote, “Igunza, I like the way you help Jeff know Kenya.” ndungurose30 commented, “This guy is very humble, to be honest. God loves such rich and humble people.” _musyo_ka added, “My soup base.” Jenniemakau noted, “Jeff will be proud to say he’s lived his life on both sides.”
A Playful Encounter with a TikToker
In another incident, Jeff humorously commented on a TikToker's accent during a viral interaction. The TikTok user praised Jeff as an inspiration, but the journalist responded with playful banter about the user's accent. The exchange sparked mixed reactions online, with some finding it amusing and others questioning Jeff's approach.
Overall, Jeff Koinange's experiences highlight not only his openness to new things but also the camaraderie and humor that define his relationships with colleagues and fans alike.
