  1. The fact that the management is considering including Nsenene (grasshopper) on the flight menu means, it was a Trail Balloon inside job In other words, the PR effort is part of the official position and hoodwinking.

    By trying to introduce Nsenene on its menu without trying and testing; Uganda is courting disaster. E.g., I am highly allergic to nsenene, enswa (white ants) Lobster, Shellfish (Crustaceans), the mere smell alone would trigger a nasal blockage and body swelling/rash.

    So, if taken to its logical decision to include Nsenene on its flight Menu, UA must prepare for food-poisoning related lawsuits/cases, the bankrupting reputation and/or compensations that goes with it.
