It’ll be raining sallah meat in a couple of days. It’s not the question of whether you’ll steal but where will you stash your spoil after your successful Sallah meat heist? That’s where we come in.

On the roof

The Actual Places You Should Hide Your Sallah Meat

Might sound ridiculous, but we’ve seen a couple of people do it and get away with it. The plot twist here is you have to steal the meat when it’s raw. Douse it in salt to preserve it and stash it on the roof. Just make sure you retrieve it before it starts raining.

Your freezer

Might seem like an obvious spot, but what’s that thing they say about hiding in plain sight? For this to work, you have to get creative with the packaging. So wrap the meat in moi-moi leaves.

Your neighbour’s freezer

Put it in a bowl, cover it up and tell your neighbour Mummy asked you to keep it in their freezer. Since you’ve involved Mummy, no one will suspect a thing or try to play a fast one with your meat.

Who’s interested in your shoe rack on Sallah day? Nobody. Just make sure you wrap each piece with foil and in a nylon to lock the aroma in. Once this is done, slide each piece into a shoe on your rack, and no one will suspect a thing.

Skip the garri storage bowl because some people might want to enjoy garri and fried meat. But the yam flour or beans containers? No one is coming for them, and your sallah meat will be completely safe.

Inside your wardrobe

Especially your underwear section. Nobody wants to go through anyone’s underwear — clean or otherwise.
