As we mentioned, the origin of the recipe goes back to Sudan and was given this name because during the days of Britain’s occupation of Sudan, the British ruler forbade eating tripe and he appointed observers at the butchers to prevent its sale.
That is why the Sudanese were whispering in the ear of the butchers when they asked for tripe, and here the observer was saying to them “Come-On-Near) That’s why the Sudanese used to say Come-On-Near As an expression of their failure to buy tripe, and over time the name evolved into Kamounia.
