we call it bole (as in bolehh) here in d SOUTH Delta state to b precise.
There is No need for any correction, we all know what d op iz talking about.
Btw...If Its really hot then Its acceptably hygenic. Thermophiles are not very common. Another thing u need to know iz dat MICROORGANISMS ARE EVERYWHERE AROUND US, evenn in those fiingers u used in typing this.

just finished consuming my bole with fried fish now. So sweet!!!!!

I like people who dey form like this because dey havnt shit in their entire life, and they haven't fatted since ther are born yeye people. lolzzzzzz

Ma_J_Blige: Go to Eko Hotels or Sheraton to buy yours. Or better still Shoprite.

hahahahaha, good answer Miss hygienic

The only hygienic food is the one you prepared with your own bare hands so stop deceiving yourself with all those packaging, i have seen it all.

raqueal: OP, bacteria from roasting is half of it. What is transferred through their dirty hands is the rest. The sellers will handle charcoal with bare hands,touch the plantain, touch their dirty aprons/wrappers and collect money with the same hands. The money part is the most disgusting part, especially here in Abuja where the average northerner blows his nose with bare hands and scratches his crotch on top before giving you change? Nah

what is this one saying? Bigot

i just ate it with beans....

Durty them say No dey Kill AFRICAN MAN. Moreover after all dose roasting process, d dirty go don cook wella and ready to be digested. BOLE!! Anytime , anyday, anywhere.

lekkie073: the only bole I know is the bole international airport in Addis Ababa ....

Who b this 1 I swear u go sabi collect beating oooo,,,i won't be surprise if u dey actually study mumulogy or odegraphy....tell aw airport tke relate 2 plantain food.......

I still ate Boli & groundnut with my wife last saturday so lovely

Bole is good to go!

The heat kills off the bacteria, and besides we need some dirt for our immune system.

dat wan no concern me....i go choooooopppp a.m

WackyJ1: There's a woman in front of my work place who sells the roasted plantain and surprisingly (to Me ) it's very popular especially eating it with groundnut....... Disgusting.
So much so that whenever any of my coworkers offer it to Me, i simply tell Them that the day they see me eating that thing, just know that christ is coming the next day.

Aren't there any side effects or bacterias that are transferred from the things that the plantain comes in contact with during roasting? Or does the fire really kill them off. Maybe the side effects don't really show immediately.

LMAO@the bolded.

@ op, you are really hygiene concious and that's good considering the fact that most people don't even think about the condition of what they eat before they have it. But try not to be over-concious, cos even the ones you prepare for yourself aren't 100% germ-free either (some germs are not harmful-the normal flora). Hope you are not reading 1000 ways to die

including from my work place.

But i can't see myself eating one of those things. Whenever i think of
it the first thing that comes to my mind is the fact that the woman's or
anyone elses' hands, in whatever condition they are (un washed, dusty,
dirty) who helps her there will touch the plantain to turn it, something
that i will put in my mouth. And even when i think of that i also
remember the iron mesh that is used un place the plantain over the fire
and how it must be black from soot, something that is used day in and
out. Everything all On the skin of what i'm putting in my mouth.
Disgusting.

Damojo: Forget hygiene and focus on the therapeutic effect. Have u tried unripe bole and smoked fish? Best known aphrosidiac!!! Ask Bayelsans.

my guy...u no need ask us.. meal tyt die...na jst fresh...i jst dey fresh since i enta b.y

astronautog: All of una they mad especially the op!!!na comon bole wey u chop go kill you?if you like don't eat it sometin go still kill you!!rubbish!! una dey form lyk say una no dey shitt

Noise maker, the bolded part shows your insecurity and poor
man mentality

Polio:

Males that hiss ...... SMH! #OutOfOrder

So females should be the only ones with the right to sound like snakes

wonlasewonimi:

I think risky burger is more dangerous. i.e bread and fried egg by mallams

Which one be risky burger? U go lautech?

The issue with booli (boopa) is not even the bacteria alone, please have a rethink and stay away from buying and eating it if the seller is located beside the road. The exhaust of vehicles discharges onto anything beside the road (including your vegetable), contaminants from the exhaust always end up on anything placed beside the road.

Do yourself a favor and buy the local grill and charcoal to start preparing your booli, prepare your own spices/sauces, it takes so short a time to make and you can invite friends and watch the birth of another business, well packaged and far superior to the junks beside the road.

infact that is my favourite lunch food with groundnut.............. but it must be wormed

When ever travel to ph or yenagoa dat's my meal. Over there they mix it with confirm per boiled palmoil,leaves and roasted fish nd then pieces the bole. U missing a lot if u have not tasted it dis way.

If u re so neat u cant eat germs,,buy dettol nd carry it about

Booli and epa? I love am like madt..

very unhygienic i remember eating it with Roasted snail also from the Roadside on a trip to naija.. boy! i end up in hospital with stomach trouble

This tread should be closed before you ruin boli for those that love it. I remember when I was serving, there was a canteen where I ate. I enjoyed the food a lot until someone described to me how dirty the woman preparing the food was. I never noticed. I just go in there and enjoy my meal. But from the moment I heard that horrid description, all I could see was a dirty woman. That guy ruined my love for that canteen. OP and the others, that is exactly what you're doing now. PLEASE dnt ruin boli for me

Well,u myt be right 2 a point,buh if datz d case,u can prepare urs @home,its not necessary 2 buy 4rm the roadside if u aint sure if its safe for consumption !

Yeah..Actually you're right. But if you want clean boli. You're gonna have to pay more for it( Costs and Benefit)

@ op am not a hypochondriac, btw av u taken a peek into ur so cald hygienic fastfoods nd eateries food preparation environments? No mata hw hygienic dey claim to be we stil hear reports of rats nd cockroaches being found in deir food. Me i no dey joke wit boli, fish head nd chilled coke to hell with bacteria.

Clear case of ignorance is bliss

BOOLI is the correct yoruba 4 roasted banana not "BOLE". ok
