Shawarma and Hotdogs.

As for me, I chose my meals based on their nutritional values, not based on their tastes or their appearances. So, I so much like Editan and Periwinkles.

Noodles tastes great but I avoid it because it is not just starch but artificial starch. The same applies to Macaroni and Spaghetti. I rather soak Garri that is natural.

How did you eat the Abacha? Your claim is like that of someone who takes Pap without adding Sugar or anything else to the Pap and asserts that Pap is tasteless. Some bad cooks can make you hate Abacha. You may also hate Abacha if you eat the one mixed with the liquid substance called Ncha. The Ncha tastes like soapy water. I hate it in Abacha but people claim that the Ncha cleans stomach.

One thing I have discovered on this thread is that many commenters are condemning certain foods based on just one-time experience in the hands of terrible cooks. How can one say that Okpa tastes bad? The person even went further to say that he or she thought Okpa is close to Moi Moi in taste. When did Moi Moi begin to taste better than Okpa? I know at least 3 white men that like Okpa so much.

Another person speaks ill of Amala and Ewedu. I am not a Yoruba. But Amala and Ewedu do not taste bad. I must confess that the appearance of Amala and Ewedu is not enticing. I must also confess that the first time I ate it was in one local and unkept "mama put" and it didn't taste nice. But I later began to eat Amala and Ewedu after I tasted the one prepared by good cooks.
Bro pls moi tastes better than okpa, there is no argument there, and here I came to that conclusion the day I tasted the much hyped nsukka okpa. Though I myself enjoy eating okpa with that suya pepper of Hausas, but let's be honest it's overrated.

When will y’all learn that good food/good tastes are a relative terms? What’s delicious, tasty, enticing and nutritious to you is not necessarily going to be the same for someone else and it’s even more annoying when you are commenting about a dish you’ve never tasted before.
A typical Anambra boy can swear with his life that nothing is as sweet and enjoyable as a generous spread of banga soup on a hot plate of rice and in fact, if you are in the East, you will observe that people enjoy having their rice with banga instead of stew while a typical Ibadan man can kill over a plate of Amala and ewedu&gbegiri lavishly crowned with assorted orisirisi and palm wine grin
Being delicious and appealing are a relative terms to describe how certain foods look and taste from individuals’ perspectives and turning it into an argument is as stupid as asking people to tell you which tribes have the most beautiful women in the world when we all know beauty is a relative term (we see that foolery here almost everyday).

Pap and ogi are the same. Ogi is the yourba name for pap.

Amala and eba are both swallows. If both are removed from your list, what do you eat your soup with?

I said "Drinking garri". I don't drink garri but I eat eba. Looooool.

I basically eat eba and pounded yam with soup. Semo once in blue moon.

If you ate bread you should eat noodles as both are products of flour.

1. Alcohol (very bitter drink) I wonder why people waste so lot of money on such bitter drinks, buying lots of bottles and drinking to stupor, when there are lots of soft drinks and soda
2. Weeds
3. Cigarettes
4. Salads
5. Fried rice
6. Indomie
Indeed, I'm on the same page with you here with regards to the highly tasteless and bland alcoholic drinks such as larger beer, Schnapps, etc. I just can't fathom what these folks find in drinking such bland stuff... But I guess the dudes are just showing off in the midst of their buddies at the club house or bars. I simply prefer my favorite chilled malt drinks, Chapman, cocktail zobo, and Pina colada tbh.

I TOTALLY hate the smell of weeds but I sometimes like the brief smell of Cuban cigars and Benson & Hedges in an air-conditioned environment.

However, I like salads, fried rice, and noodles.

Pizza & Sharwarma lmao you definitely haven't had good ones that's why. Burger ?, have you tasted Chicked burger lmao.

Spaghetti too though, spag with better stew or even jollof one I feel like this too a Cooking skill issue.

The rest though I see it, Ewedu is genuinely tragic even for a Yoruba boy like me especially with Amala most overrated dish ever.

I have hated Golden morn since childhood the smell used to irritate me.

Lol I nor just like pizza, Shawarma and burger.

Nah. I cook spaghetti quite alright for my father (I dont even taste it) and he loves it. I hated spaghetti as a child. The first time my nanny prepared it, the spag was soggy and plain. Since then, it gives me PTSD. I tried tasting it in my adulthood, but I couldn't eat it.

Hahahaha. People wonder why I hate amala. I'm not just a fan to be honest.

Strangely, I like Golden morn smell but I don't eat it.

The day I tasted Okpa I spat it out immediately. I thought it was close to moin moin in taste but the taste was horrible
Tasted it for the first time 5 years ago, and still eat it once in a while. It is quite filling.
The secret is to eat it only when freshly made and piping hot. Preferably the one with leaves inside. Hot and with leaves makes it fluffy and crumbly inside, not like the cold solidified ones.

Nigerian bread.

It leaves an after taste of a horrible chemical.

For the whole day, my throat would feel like I ingested a chemical from a laboratory.

The discomfort would keep me up all night.

There's something nasty in these breads that we are not being told.

Also, the amount of margarine (bakeries don't use real butter) in most bread is insane. That is terrible for people's cardiovascular health.

NAFDAC doesn't seem to know its right from left.

Sir pls can you assist me with any amount to buy foodstuffs please.

There is serious hunger in the land.

That bread you are condemning is like gold to me right now and will be a miracle for me to munch on it as I like. That's how bad things have become right nowsad

What do you mean by artificial starch?

Noodles is made from flour, same flour for bread, egg roll, Semo etc.

Flour is made from Wheat ... the normal wheat grain that you know.

That's interesting @nedekid. I've never eaten that stuff but I'll try your format when the time is right. I travel quite often and love to taste cuisines from the cultures I interact with worldwide.

The fact that Noodles is not directly made from Wheat is enough proof of my claim. But my main point is that Noodles is a mixture of many things. Check the ingredients listed on the pack. But Garri is directly made of Cassava.
