Don't Leave Moshi Without ...
... trying Mtura. This is a popular chagga sausage. It is an intestine-encased mixture of minced pieces of cow or goat meat, tripe, and cooled blood that's been flavored with onions, salt, pepper, and chili). Restaurants and home-grillers roast the sausages over a charcoal stove until they achieve a golden-brown color. Ask any local and they will direct you to where to find the best (psssst ... we hear Mkulima and Police Mess are tops in Moshi).
...trying Mbege (an alcoholic beverage made from fermented bananas and finger millet). This drink is quite difficult to find in urban areas. It is traditionally served in a calabash (like the one pictured here). You will have to venture out of town to find a good brew. There's an ongoing debate and friendly banter as to who makes the best, but we hear the brew masters in Mwika (about a 90-minute drive from Moshi Urban) make exceptionally good batches.
