Christmas season has traditionally been the time Kenyans indulge. If they don’t try an exotic dish during this period, then they will have their normal staples such as nyama choma and ugali in plenty.

And for those selling meat and related delicacies notably cheese and ham like Eve (not her real name), the festive season - or the peak season- is when they make a kill, compensating for drier months of January and February. During the festive season, salespersons like Eve receive hefty bonuses.
