Lol. My Uncle wife have it and probably because she's from Edo State. Though she seldomnly use it.


Even my Grandma doesn't have it sef. Definately, na mortar and pistol sure pass

NoQualms1:

Yes o, one can grind the egusi till its oil start coming out. My mum even grind locust beans (iru) on it. I have always hated it sha, it's putting oneself through unnecessary stress. I no longer use it ever since I left my parents' place.

I do it once in a whyle, especially when I want to make akara or moimoi for myself alone.

I miss this, it was enjoyable and nice; the most important part is the way you bend...

Godmystrength:

Lol. Agree with you It will seem as if your palms are on fire until you/your palms get used to it.

Buoyantic: Yoruba and dia dirty life style

you diss Yoruba people? waawu

If I ever try this my hands will swell up.

.

Amusaopeyemi: Sure na, I can grind Egusi and beans lyk that too. My mom taught me.

I hail o

Godmystrength: do you mean to say akara? because the stress of getting the beans paste smooth enough for moi moi will be too much o

I mean moi moi, it cant be more dan 3cups and i wil grind it smoothly the way I want.

I just did that now
But i grinded Egusi

kolidave: This? at this present age and century? When I have my electric grinder and manual grinder there. Even sef I could take it to the local pepper grinder beside my house to grind for nuffin less than 50bucks. Na hin I go con sidown like old woman with this tin dey grind pepper,lailai not me. The world is changing and moving,'out wiv the old in with the new'.... and oh! That tin no dey add ani special taste to the soup abi Maggi dey inside d stone wey I no know about?

#It does, event though we had a blender and generator, sometimes the whole family opted for this. I have used the three and I can confidently say that the taste differs.

Ormorlehwah: I mean moi moi, it cant be more dan 3cups and i wil grind it smoothly the way I want.

A whole 3cups? whao!!!! i can't do that anymore o

South westerners use it still,they claim it gives a special flavour to their cooking.for me, i just see it as punishment

destante: you diss Yoruba people? waawu

sweet heart

timsbee: We av one in our compound at d backyard wher all d women of d fifteen face me i jail u rooms, always use to do quick grinding.

If dat one surface spoil, anoda woman go bring her own comout....


Oh sweet memories, gone are those days....

so what days are u in now miss? from face me i jail you to A mansion abi (praise be to God)

This is just one of the many ways to grind ur pepper, and one of the most primitive way as u said. I don't think anybody that has another way of grinding will ever engage in such a method because nigga this is 21st century this is not laziness but hard labour.
Anyways, its not proven that grinding of a stone gives ur stew better flavour. I even see more disadvantages to that nigga u are more likely to get dirt and sand in ur stew. Don't post shit and attack modernization. life is actually easier with it, embrace it. Its just like running several miles to deliver a msg when u can just make a phone call.

GowonAbacha:
Then you can as well say welcome to stooling. You go shît so tey u go tire... Comm'on how do you expect the beans to be smooth enough for moi moi ?

Stooling? Forget it, all I need is to rinse the beans with hot water before grinding..... Smooth? I cnt grind a congo of beans oooo bt I can grind the one I can eat smoothly.
Perhaps, I am from Ijebu.

Donfamous: One of the oldest wasys of grinding pepper,
Its so cool and adds some flavour to ur stew, but it seems people are lazy to try this step now, and most of our new generation wife don't even know anything about this, or consider it rather stressful, and primitive.
So have u ever tried it, and when last was it?

times without number right from the age of 8 or 9 when i went to stay with granny. Nna mehn the taste of the soup eh na all time killer.

Oh sweet memories, gone are those days....

Anyways... I haven't seen that grinding stone before

Hmmmmmm...... Another way? I reserve my comment. But do U knw it is a means of exercise?

Buoyantic: sweet heart

Ormorlehwah: I mean moi moi, it cant be more dan 3cups and i wil grind it smoothly the way I want.

Me too, I can grind anything on it, its been very long I used it but am a pro in using it.

I did this for many years. The pain you go through after grinding pepper this way can be unbearable but THANK GOD FOR GOD.

Memories.

I grew up with this grinding stone. I recall when I was still very young, i played with this and got pepper into my pants, mehn dat day wasn't funny. My mum still makes fun of me.

Ormorlehwah: Stooling? Forget it, all I need is to rinse the beans with hot water before grinding..... Smooth? I cnt grind a congo of beans oooo bt I can grind the one I can eat smoothly.
