Iceman296: ..Suya is Too Exposed, Especially Those Dirty Abokis.

Sometimes I wonder if the Nutrients Derived From Suya is Different From those in Fried Meat!

x Jayson x: Thanks for this thread.

I stopped eating Suya when this happened.

We moved into a new apartment and in that area there was this Suya man along the main road. On the first day I saw my friend off so he could get some Suya for himself when we got to the Mallam and he ordered for some Suya the Mallam noticed the fire was not blazing very well so he decided to use the air from his mouth to blow the coal so it will get hotter and in the process he was blowing the Suya as well. But when I saw this Mallam's teeth they were terribly discoloured (deep brown and black colour) so I wondered how his breath would be. Well, I kept cool and didn't say a word cos it was friend who was buying and he didn't even care. On a certain day, I was passing the same Suya man along the road and I saw him use his bare hand to blow some thick "carter" or "mucor" out of his nostrils and he just cleaned his hands on his shirt and immediately used that same hand to turn his Suya (I was like..."my goodness", I don't think I will let my friends buy this Suya again". Then the grand finale happened when I was sitting at a bar close to the Suya Man's spot and this man went to urinate at the corner of a car, used his two hands to bring out his stuff, held it firmly while urinating and when done he rubbed and flogged his stuff continuously like he was being paid for that. And after, without washing his hands he flogged, raised and rubbed his same hands on his Suya. In short, he just used his Suya as his soap/detergent and water to wash his hands.

From that day, that Mallam destroyed my appetite from/for eating Suya.

Afam4eva:
You should be worried whether or not the meat is washed before it is roasted and not whether or not Suya is hygienic.

sharubutu: doti no dey kill African.

sbaks: people of old (bible to be precised) ate red meat (or suya if you want) and lived long and were strong. I like suya and kilishi. hmmm! Yummy!

pDude: Abegi jare

For a while now I have been craving sits but due to my geographical location, I can't obtain it.

It all depends on how it is stored and fired.

I tend to let my suya fry on the fire longer than usual. I also microwave it when I get home

emmysam2: @ OP, Suya has been consumed from time immemoriam. Have you ever heard anyone falling sick after eating suya?
Pls what are you driving at?

telim: really responding to this topic is un-hygienic.

::Andrew:::
The funny thing is no one ask what meat the suya is made of.

Donvilo: I think the real question here is; "From which animal meat was the suya delicacy made from?

benzion72: Made me remember a story on BB that went viral some years back of a boy infested with HIV, only to discovered that the Mum and Dad are negative. A further probe reveal that he eat a suya whose seller had a cut on his hand and not well managed (You know how those mallam can be dirty). Unfortunately I remember I bought Suya with a Malam who has a cut with a plaster on. My mind never get rest until I went for HIV test, ever since I have being running from suya

imolore: i only eat the onions, carbage, letus etc and leaves the suya meat(dog, vulture, cow, horse, camel etc) for the women to eat. U never can tell wich meat u are eating, so i enjoy seeing their faces and mouth as they mulch while i eat the vegetables.

emma bowin: Smoke has since been linked to cancer.therefore smoked meat including suya,barbecue are possible cause of cancer.

Creamish:

How many of ur friends can you actually vouch that they wash their hands when done from the toilet? or use a clean hanky when sneezing? . . . u dont ask questions before u shake a client or ur friends. Dont let that spoil ur appetite dude. Im sure ul still pick ur chicken when ur alone and it falls on the floor . . . what dosnt kill u makes u stronger abi? Meat na protein oo .

Adunbi2: Suya is gud 4 person undey the age of 50, for christ sake if u are 50 and above stop eaten meat
