Where people go to bars to drink milk
BBCWhere people go to bars to drink milk Dan Nsengiyumva Yusuf Gatikabisi owns Kuruhimbi milk bar in Rwanda Unique to Rwanda, milk bars reflect a little-known truth about how intrinsic cows and milk are to Rwandan culture. Dan Nsengiyumva Raw and boiled milk is always kept in a separate room from alcohol because it is considered sacred "This scarcity started reducing in the late 1980s, when the government started importing improved dairy cows like the Holstein Friesian cattle," Mugabowagahunde said. However, while Rwanda's love for cows goes deep, our independent milk bars are slowly disappearing, as more people are turning to supermarkets for watered-down, pasteurised milk sold in larger 0.5 and 1 litre cartons, which can last much longer than ikivuguto and inshyushyu. Dan Nsengiyumva With more people now drinking pasteurised milk, Rwanda's independent milk bars are disappearing Yvette Murekatete, who runs Gira Amata milk bar in Kigali's south-eastern Kicukiro district, thinks business is not as profitable as when she first opened in 2009 because some of her clients have resorted to pasteurised milk sold in stores.
