Mango Bat

By

Coming back down the road from visiting mama, sister uncle or friends
see someone selling a fresh bat on the roadside and buy it.

go directly home, wash it
toss it in the iron pot
with tomatoes
a bit of tomato paste
a bit of water
hot peppers
salt
and cassava (leaves)

cook until done.

Make another pot of bigger food, like saka saka
because the bat is too small to feed everyone

Invite good friends over
serve with fufu Primus, Guinness
and Ngok

use your skilled tongue
and palate to sort out bones, cartridge and teethe, hair etc. from bat.
