Kenyans react as BBC presenter Larry Madowo feasts on Mice in Malawi (Video)

Media Personality Larry Madowo has ignited mixed reactions on social media after putting up a video feasting on mice while in Malawi to cover their Elections.

Madowo who works for BBC Africa, shared a video while eating a roasted mouse by the road side following an encounter with Malawian’s who sell them.

“I ate a mouse, for the first time and it was, well, amazing! Mice (not rats!) are a delicacy among the Chewa of central Malawi. I will eat anything and I had to try these. They’re eaten whole with the skin and everything. Tastes just like chicken #wanderlust #goeverywhere#eateverything” wrote Larry Madowo.
