1.That moment when there's no food at home 2.That moment when the only part of the yam left is the head 3. That moment when the only thing left to suppliment the yam is red oil 4.That moment when you forgot to carry water along to garnish the yam head 5. That moment when you start choking then u urgently need to get a graps of any liquid available that could dilute the yam head... Yam!!! Yam!!! Yam!!! You still remain my best alternative when I am hungry 1 Like |

I have no Yam moments.. All I know about yams are; 1. They are not my favorite food in the world.. 2. I love my yams overcooked and so soft they melt in the plate. 3. I prefer to eat my yams with groundnut oil and salt/Plamoil mixed with dried peppers, salt and maggi.. 4. I love Bole yam.. (Roasted) FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: I HATE NEW YAM!! 1 Like |

One of my yam moments was when I was a kid, then I started developing a little bit muscle then my mom thought that I was strong enough so she took me with her to the market for shopping, she bought 3 big tubers of yam and made me to carry it, at some point my legs felt wobbly and I can't help it but fall, cos my head was spinning, and my eyes teary, since that fateful day I recognise the power of yam. 2 Likes |

Well mine happened during dinner with my family, my mum cooked this wonderful yam and egg (best combo), I recall my dad asking for my waec result then I noticed I couldn't talk(respond).. it went on for like 30 seconds, my mum was already shaking, thinking something bad would happen, suddenly, my brother gave me a thunderous tap at the back of my head then the damn thing fell out of my mouth... well, I fear yam now.. trauma! 1 Like |

Nope, Yam is my least favourite food and aside from that i always have an itch everytime i peel it. I've also had a choking experience with yam. I was in the village for Christmas and my grams had all this little yams for roasting in the barn...we call them Ji Abana..not even sure what that means sef. Anyway, i was home one day n super duper hungry and there was only firewood left to cook with. Me i have serious smoke allergy o, so i went to forage in the kitchen for anything remotely munchable. That was were i met a plate of extremely cold roasted yam n alreadt congealed palm oil. Wetin consign me, i stood there and began walloping the thing with very big man-like bites and worse of all i wasn't chewing properly. It was more like bite-chew-chew-swallow. Somewhere between the 5th n 6th bite i realized i couldn't breath again. Gosh i panicked! Bad enough i had this health issue at that time with my heart, i thought i was having a cardiac arrest right in the kitchen. I managed to crawl out of the kitchen to the fridge all the while thinking "I can't die like this na, haba not after eating someone's yam oo. God atleast lemme confess so i'll make heaven" Finally i got water. Then i made the mistake of swallowing one huge gulp. Christ! It felt like someone just shoved a stone down my throat. This one brought instant tears to my eyes i swear. What was worse that i was gonna die alone with only the dog for company The pain in my chest doubled, i just had to lay on the floor beside the fridge with my arms wrapped around my body crying. Some minutes after, or maybe na hours sef my stjupid brother kicked me awake. Allah it was the happiest kick of my life. I was alive oo . I had never been so glad at receiving a kick before. Till today my bro calls it my Kick of Life I don't need to say i never touched covered food again that didn't belong to me, nor did i ever eat roasted yam again after that incident. Today my papa no dey buy yam again sef cos e go just dey for house spoil. 7 Likes |

Afam4eva: Yam is one of the staple foods in Nigeria and is eaten by majority of Nigerians. It's one of those foods that are easy to make cos it doesn't take a lot of dexterity to prepare yam especially white yam that can be eaten with oil. But behind this popular meal lies a very dangerous food that can knock one out in a matter of seconds if not properly eaten or if not respected as the horror that it is. I will share the encounter i had with this monstrous thing we call food and i want you guyz to share yours too. Next time drink your "piss"!!!! |

Re: Share Your Yam Moments by Nobody: 1:50pm On Jul 25, 2013 |
I love roasted yam with a nice sauce. The sauce is the crux of the meal for me. The only rough moment i remember when eating was a time when i was younger and i and my bro were eating pounded yam(i think, either that or it was garri or akpu) and we decided to compete on who could swallow the biggest bolus, we were boys afterall(do not try this at home), my brother held out longer than i expected, then i thought: 'i'll end this'. I scooped up the mother load, and i swallowed, except it didnt go down, at least most of it didnt, it just drew along my throat, i started passing out, then i threw up. And thats that. My younger brother won. |
Re: Share Your Yam Moments by VicGoodGuy(m): 1:53pm On Jul 25, 2013 |
My yam moment was when we were growing up, there ws ds young girl that was living with our nxt door neighbours. She liked yam to excess (especially yam with egg sauce). And living with one of my uncles who leaves for work vry early and comes back late, I always have the whole house to myself. So I wd jst be patrolling in the compound and wd be on the look out for her, and whe she shows up I wd jst tell her 'Chi-Chi, guess wht I jst prepared' and she wd say 'yam and egg?' 'Exactly!' Then 'remain for me o, I dey come'. As easy as that! And that made me come to love yam too 1 Like |
