      I've visited a Kenyans house they spoke english very well. They had some kind of beef stew and they called it sauce. I think its a cultural thing.

          Is that a word in English? And aside from borrowed words, Swahili verbs end in -a.

              I've also seen mchuzi used to describe juice (as in juice from a meet/ or roast)

                'I like soup' should be accepted
