This Is Not A Game Goes To Mastercook Zambia
Mastercook Zambia is a Zambian television cooking show that hosts different cooking competitions and food preparation shows with exciting tasks in various locations.
The cooking show is running a Chefs competition to give upcoming and established chefs an opportunity to showcase their culinary skills with a wide range of foods. On season 3 episodes 4 and 5, the “This Is Not A Game” bushmeat campaign was invited to take part in the show tagged the “bush challenge”. This challenged each contestant to prepare an exciting dish using locally produced fresh legal game meat from accredited suppliers in Zambia. The chefs out did themselves as they prepared fresh sable steak – from simply braaied meat to making a sable masala to die for.
The illegal game meat trade is one of the biggest threats to our wildlife as it is highly unsustainable for wildlife populations. It is also dangerous for human consumption because it is hunted, harvested and transported in the most unsanitary and unhygienic conditions. Illegal bush meat is obtained from protected areas by poachers – this is unlawful and carries a minimum sentence of seven years imprisonment in Zambia.
There is a healthy and safe alternative – legal game meat. This comes both fresh and dried from legal game meat suppliers. You can find their details at www.thisisnotagame.info.
So next time you come across “nyama yamu sanga” be sure to ask if it is legal and safe before indulging and potentially risking you and your family’s lives. You can also contact the Department of National Parks and Wildlife’s accredited suppliers to enjoy your meals without fear or suspicions.
