We just love our meat in Africa, and despite what many would want to believe, Africa is one meat-eating continent. In Nigeria, no meal is complete without large pieces of meat, designed to gladden a carnivore’s heart. And you only have to look no further than the national favourite called Suya which is a popular street food of spicy grilled meat.

The same thing holds true for Kenya. The popularity of nyama choma (which is Swahili or grilled mat) says it all, enjoyed with great gusto by both rural and city folk. And so, on this fine summers’ day in Zurich, in keeping with my forefathers’ love for grilled meats, the stage has been set for a classic grilled beef burger.
