Amala, Ewedu, Pizza, Shawarma... You're not serious are you?

It seems you're the type who likes fried plantains and sugary foods such as cakes and more (meaning you've got a sweet tooth).


Lol, I'm serious.

You mentioned plantain. Funny enough, I am not a huge fan of fried plantain. The taste wears me out. I prefer unripe plantain actually (boiled plain or plantain pottage, fried unripe).

I like cake but eat in moderation. I don't have a sweet tooth. Except if you classify Cheeseballs and Caprisun there but it isn't that sweet though. cheesy

I LOVE WHEAT BREAD. See? I'm not sweet tooth. grin

Me I have list sha

1.Ewedu- I haven’t tasted it and will never do. However, the sight alone and the smell I’ve perceived while in the school hostel usually nauseate me.

2.Gbegiri- I heard it’s grounded beans? You grind beans to take with swallow?

3. Pizza- I wonder how people enjoy all those mendemende they put

4. Starch- I’m short of words, starch?

5.Banga soup- normal I suppose like this soup, but it tastes like vomit and smells like vomit too


Mayonnaise and salad cream-This is not food, however it’s puzzling how people eat this with bread and salad.eew!



There is a hausa/Ghanaian food .. They call it tuwo rice ... Have you eaten rice that has been mashed ... Imagine rice in fufu or pound yam from .. it's eaten with one brown spicy soup made from beans ...


The food is literally eating rice and beans in another form ..

It's your delicacy na, you'll definitely enjoy it. When I had the opportunity to serve in the east I was excited because I wanted to make it my daily fastfood. Was I highly disappointed when i tasted it.

Pizza. I still don't understand how people enjoy eating it.
That food looks unappealing.

Then I'll add salad, burger, hot dog, shawarma, okpa, gbegiri and anything that has soy sauce in it to my small list.

What about ofuloju? the food is almost related to okpa and moi moi, the only difference is the spicy stew to complement it with.

Wheat bread aids digestion.
When you get past 40, white bread will immediately cause you constipation even if you eat 1 slice.
Wheat bread will be your best friend.
Same as Ewedu soup. It's a vegetable and it's cheap.

People eat different foods for different reasons and at different stages in their lives.

Oh, wow! @Folake4u, those are interesting takes from you.

Yeah, wheat bread is very healthy but some folks don't like it. I love taking mine with avocados and peanut butter. It's one of the best ways to "bring out" the flavor of wheat bread.

Isn't the unripe plantain going to soak in oil while you're frying it? How do you manage to keep the vegetable oil out of the plantains?
I'm a sucker for fried plantains too, with especially the smell of fried plantains wafting through the kitchen.

The key is to eat in moderation though.

Last but not least, what is it about Amala and other foods in your list that you don't like... is it the relative carbs content or the bland taste for some of them?

Did you know that there are 3 types of Amala?:
1. Amala ogede made from unripe plantain flour.
2. Amala isu made from yam flour.
3. Amala lafun, made from cassava flour.

Ha.
Gluten intolerance. Does that happen in NIgeria?
That's American white people stuff. With all that GMO food they eat, that makes them and
their chickens swell up like balloons.
We don't have that issue here in Nigeria.

I wonder how people eat bread with pap

👀

The texture together is perfect.
For you to enjoy a combination of foods, their flavour and texture should match.

Have you ever tasted ogi and dodo? Heaven!

Thank you.

I wonder why people don't like wheat bread really. It's super healthy and filling.
Omgggggg you know this. Give me wheat bread and peanut butter and I'm in heaven. Yummy goodness!!! kiss kiss

I use little oil when frying anything I eat, even frying unripe plantain. I use absorbent paper towel to drain excessive oil.

I'm not a fan of ripe plantain actually. Just once in a while I eat it. I prefer unripe plantain for chips cos it's crispy. cheesy

Yeah. Moderation is key.

Bland taste and also my eyes eat first and just genera dislike. I'm a picky eater and not keen in trying new cuisine.


Ohhh. Never knew amala is made from yam flour and cassava flour. Only know of unripe plantain actually.

Quick question. Amala is different from wheat right?
