Kenyans love their food, and some dishes hold a special place in their hearts (and stomachs). But what about the foods that make them wrinkle their noses? Turns out, even celebrities have their culinary quirks.<\/p>\n

Bien-Aime Barasa:<\/strong> Sauti Sol’s lead singer is a vocal githeri hater. He’s so serious about it that he’s banned the dish from his house! He claims his aversion comes from his boarding school days, where githeri was a frequent (and probably not very tasty) menu item.<\/p>\n

Nameless and Maina Kageni:<\/strong> These two media personalities can’t stand avocados. Nameless, in particular, is baffled by the fruit’s popularity. He’s tried to give it a chance, but just can’t get on board with the taste.<\/p>\n

Chito Ndlovu:<\/strong> The Kiss FM presenter has a more serious food issue: he’s allergic to omena, a small fish commonly eaten in Kenya. The high protein content in omena triggers an allergic reaction, so it’s definitely off the menu for Chito.<\/p>\n

These are just a few examples of celebrities who have publicly shared their food dislikes. It’s a reminder that even though we may share a culture, our taste buds can be worlds apart. So next time you’re tucking into your favorite Kenyan dish, remember that someone out there might be making a face at the thought of it!<\/p>\n

Bonus:<\/strong> Here are some other interesting food quirks from around the world:<\/p>\n
