Wine-bottleful

Having requisitioned for lime-juice, about a dozen or two of wine-bottlefuls were received, with the reply that more could not be spared, as it was required by the Navy.

With a few clean glass bottles, pure olive, safflower or canola oil, herbs, dry spices and even vegetables, you can make a wine-bottleful for a dollar or two.

The art of beekeeping is a Kamba speciality but local custom varies – the honey often has a smokey taste after the bees have been smoked out when the keepers collect it. Bottom price is about Ksh120 for a wine-bottleful.
