One morning I was sitting in Mother's Choice restaurant in Nanyuki eating a samosa which is a triangular shaped meat pie and drinking a hot mug of chai which is tea with lots of milk and sugar in it. I was facing the back door which opened into the courtyard at the rear of the restaurant. Suddenly, a chicken came running in the open back door with a woman running close behind with a bloody knife in her hand.
After a prolonged chase around the restaurant with the chicken running under tables and flying over chairs, the woman caught the chicken, smiled at me and proceeded out the back door. As the feathers settled to the floor, the woman proceeded to slaughter the chicken in full view of me as she happened to leave the back door open.
Another morning, I wandered into Mother's Choice again for another samosa and mug of chai. After I ordered, I observed the two waiters as they sprayed a pesticide called 'DOOM' onto cloths and wiped down the tables.
Soon, one of them was called to the kitchen and he returned with my samosa and chai. As I prepared my chai by stirring in a few heaping spoonfuls of sugar, I noticed that now the waiters were playing with the can of DOOM by chasing a fly around as it avoided their attempts to spray it out of the air.
Eventually the fly landed on an open sugar dish but this was not the end of the fun for the waiters, they sprayed the fly while it was sitting on the edge of the dish. As I watched the big black fly simply fly away, I took a sip of my chai and encountered a horrible chemical taste. Needless to say, the next time I wanted a samosa and chai, I wandered elsewhere.
