Roasted maize has finally made it to the high table

Two weeks ago, I complained that roasted maize, unlike its cousin the boiled one, has failed to make it to the high table. It was an oversight.

Last week, I found maize being roasted on the same "fire" with meat in a restaurant near Sagana, overlooking the legendary Gaturi, Murang'a where witchcraft is said to have had a home as per the legends.
