I may not agree with what you say but I respect your right to express your views....say no to intolerance.

@ Smart,well you are entitled to your own opinion but your post shouldn't be channelled to me but to the okpo-ebot i responded to . However,a nice plate of meal with a bottle of heineken will make you agree completely .

lomomike:

Chief ma binu joo, you won't understand until you partake of that meal then and only then will you knw that once you go that road, there ain't no going back.

smartchoice:

Osisikankwu I know the soup is well appreciated but the heart mostly wants what it wants. Hence my esteemed Eyop should give "oily" people a chance to express themselves biko!

@ Smart again like i previously commented,i gave the unam-ikot the opportunity to appreciate what he wants but he didn't allow the sleeping dog rest so i had to give it to him. Again like i previously posted,his point his business i don't care .

Take it easy bro....some of my best meals as a bachelor were made by an Urhobo lady ochuko....they weren't my tribal meals but I was open enough to try them and enjoyed them....if I .,.I mean I cook okra for yee yet life won't remain the same..... You still owe me a plate of pounded yam and edika soup o....rich man edika ni o!

My brother am easy sir . Just like you've said,myself i appreciate Oha and bitter leaf soup prepared by my Igbo sisters(priscaoge will do justice to it for me soon ) and does that make that my tribal meals? You need to go back to this thread and see what that guy commented that made me respond to him that way. As for pounded yam,i don't eat it ooo. Pounded yam and Fufu is a no no thing for me but i will do you better than what you propose which is Semolina with Atama soup(all assorted orishirishi inside) . hmmmm...i just pray i wouldn't encounter difficulty taking you back to your house

whitecat007: Maybe because we set the standard you all are measured by. You even started your comment with Yoruba word and then singled out an "Efo Riro" out of all other stews/soups here. Is it because you know the your now "Edikaikong" was not originally yours? Ikokore was even made recently, with some leaves tossed in it and wahla! It Was called something else.

The Edikaikong I have tasted once about 7yrs ago in Riverdale and have seen many times at mama calabar restaurant and others in Atlanta was not inviting enough for me to want to try it again. The closest plates to pictures on this thread I've seen is that of Efo Riro.

DankemzI:

Eyen eka mmi idioko. Yak ecreate thread for mmon Akwa Ibom so that idiongo idem nyin na? Afo kid dieh?

Aitee1: That's what most of them don't grab, they all mistaken normal vegetable soup with edikaikong soup, it's only in standard restaurants and hotels like 5star one can find edikaikong soup all what u ppl eat in an eatery is vegetable soup prepared with pumpkin leaf and water leaf

fightforchange1:

not sure...but I kno I haven't had breakfast n that soup looks very appealing. I'm just now learning....never to late to learn.....
I feel like life is filled with opportunities to try to new things...
that's Wat it's about.

bukatyne:

What is the difference?

Seems you are a native

priscaoge:
Oha soup na my favorite too

Oh! you are such a darling . This our collabo is fantastic oooh . If i go to any correct restaurant and i see a well prepared Oha soup,that will be my order. That soup is something else prisca. If you sabi cook am very well,then you don get medal for my heart be that. I don't joke with a well prepared meal e.g a well prepared Oha soup(with goat meat,stockfish,dry fish,etc).

Aitee1: Sure I'm a proud native of Akwa Abasi Ibom state! My dear there is a big difference starting from the leaf, it is the strong almost dried kind of pumpkin leaf that's being used in cooking edikaikong soup unlike the vegitable soup where soft fresh leaf of pumpkin is used for normal vegetable soup, then the method of preparation also differ same goes with cost

bukatyne:

Ok, apart from the dried pumpkin(which I will never try anyways), the major difference is cost?

I cook edikaikong well and I wanted to be sure the one I cook

Thanks

saxywale: OP, that's your own opinion. Nothing beats my efo elegunsi

OdenigboAroli:

This soup isnt better than Onugbu soup cooked by an Anambra woman nor Nsala soup prepared by Asaba woman. Abeg,celebrate your food but dont say its the best.
Go to Bini,Lagos,Kano,Abuja,Jos and all the major towns in Nigeria Igbo restaurant rule indisputably. Nobi mouth,your food is popular in your hood but outside you no fit collect silver.
Even when it comes to national dishes like Okoro,Igbo woman will use ogbono to slam the taste enter your nostrils. Egusi nko,look at an Egusi that is prepared by an Igbo and tell me you dont see the difference. I have to be honest Ekoi women can cook no doubt but trying to crown then the best is share Ojoro.

Chillisauce: I grew up having friends from diff part of Nigeria. We make our cuisine and eat from one another. I love trying diff food. But you have to tell me what it taste like in order to program my mind earlier.
This is the ONLY soup that made me eat eba in the morning before lectures. After eating it the day before, made by my room mate, I woke her up the next morning for breakie.

See as we chop finish, enter class. See sleep . I slept throughout the lecture. I had to return back to continue the sleep. Anyway, I didn't regret eating it for breakie.
Learnt the step, cooked at home, now this is what we eat in place of the normal spinach soup. My dad banned that normal spinach soup.

If you don't try this soup, before dying. Sorry,

jmaine:

Taa Quiet there . . .Just placing a sign board reading "Calabar Kitchen" , attracts customers like Hornet bees to honey . . . . Calabar dishes ranging from Afan , Edikang ikong to Ekpang Nkukwo na fire . . . The fire be like hell fire wey no dey quench . . . .

But me dey follow enjoy the Nsala soup of the Igbos wella, cos it is the equivalent of the Afia Efere of the Efiks . . . . .

That "Taaa Quiet there" can make someone urinate in his or her pants . Abeg take it easy brother

DankemzI:

afo aya create? So that 23rd september anye hit f.p?

ideepaul: This is the most expensive and most difficult food to prepare in akwa ibom and cross river(can take more than 10000 for a family of more than 5)I am talking out of personal experience, 60 percent of people saying that they have eaten this soup don't know they ate Nkong soup(a soup with the same ingredients:fresh pumpkin leaves and water leaf, but easier preparation technique)... please nkong and edikanikong are not d same,its like comparing a self-contained with a duplex
just pray someone cooks this for you one day..your life won't be the same again.(maybe that is why corpers don't like returning home after service)
PROUDLY AN AKWA IBOM SON
