| Pork |
The first-ever pork
festival in Kampala took place at Namboole and by 10am on Saturday, the
meat's lovers were trickling in, also eager to stand a chance of
walking away with 25 kilograms of pork in a raffle draw.
There were vets and
dealers in pigs' feed offering free consultancy to festivalgoers. Away
from the workshop setting was a much larger tent, which they called 'the
eatery'; all one had to do was pay Shs 30,000, get a wrist band and
then eat as much pork as one could finish!
It was wonderfully
set with dinner and cocktail tables and blazing music. Public relations
specialist and chef Mark Kaheru with his Just Barbeque restaurant
handled the cooking. Together with his team, they made 17 different
types of pork delicacies and socialites, musicians and the Fun Factory
crew ate away.
There was pork luwombo, pork rolex, name it.
I did not hear
anyone complaining about parting with their Shs 30,000; in fact, due to
the awesome experience, I returned on Sunday for an encore.
Allan Sempala, the
organizer, says: "We are overwhelmed by the numbers and the success; we
are going to have season two in December." By Sunday evening when I
left, Kaheru confirmed they had served 3,000kg of pork.
