2. Kilishi

Kilishi is what you buy when the visitor wants something they can carry. Dried beef is coated in a paste of groundnut, pepper, and spices, then dried again until it is chewy and concentrated. Northern traders made it for the road, and it still tastes like travel food. It is closer to spiced jerky than to suya, and it does not need a grill in front of you. Break a piece and let them smell it first. The heat sits in the coating, so a small piece is enough.
