Sudan is the Arab country that invented the Kamounia, although the recipe is widely spread in the world in Many Arab countries, Sudan is the first country that invented it.

The Sudanese communalism differs from the Arab cosmopolitan in the components and also in the method, but the most component
A difference in the Sudanese Kamounia from the Kamounia spread in the Arab countries is the type of meat.

In Sudan, it eats from the tripe of the sheep, but in the Arab countries it eats from beef or lamb

What is the reason for calling the Kamounia with this name?

 

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.
