Hello guys, welcome to my blog. Why a food Post? Well, just when I thought nothing could take the place of Suya and kilishi, Roseline (a friend from the north) came visiting with 'Dambu' . wandering what 'Dambu' is? 'Dambu' is a popular meat snack prepared by the Hausa/Fulani of northern Nigeria. It is commonly prepared during the Muslim Sala celebrations. 'Dambu' is a mixture of cooked and shredded meat (lamb, beef or chicken) according to Roseline, lamb is the choice meat for making this snack although, chicken and beef could also be used.
'Dambu-nama' is one made with beef. It is tasty, delicious, sumptuous and hmmmm... Yummy.
