Igbo Men Vs Akpu by AloyEmeka9: 3:03am On May 07, 2009 |
Igbo men consume 90% of the whole cassava planted in Nigeria. Why? Do they know the amount of calories one pound of akpu contains?. Cassava is one food God used to bless poor Africa because it grows from planting the stem alone unlike yams, cocoyam, potatoes etc but the way igbo men consume it, there is still scarcity of cassava to go round in Nigeria. Why igbo women dey fear to choppam still beats me. Especially igbos from Anambra, Delta and Enugu states are the highest akpu eating creatures on earth . Umu nna m, wetin una see for cassava? 1 Like |

Starch and palm kernel soup coupled with dried fish or maybe pounded yam egusi soup with some wicked fresh fish will do me, don't have time for apku with the wicked scent that goes with it. 1 Like |

akpu/fufu/whatever . . . eeeeewww . Now if u're talking about amala . . . |
Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by honeric01(m): 3:24am On May 08, 2009 |
Amala black or amala white? |
Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by sugabelle: 7:23am On May 08, 2009 |
honeric01: black of course, what do u think? . . . .But let's not start bc we'd have to put up a whole new thread for amala. This is the foofoo thread, remember |
Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by honeric01(m): 8:07am On May 08, 2009 |
sugabelle: Lol, foofoo? what is that? you meant fufu well, i like both type of AMALA, when the soup is put in the same plate with the amala, draw soup is the best for amala |
Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by sugabelle: 8:59am On May 08, 2009 |
honeric01: chop knuckle, u know what's up. . For real, amala is d best when it comes to swallows, topped and swimming in serious ewedu or like u said, draw soup . This foolfool( i mean fufu, lol) is some dangerous ish, the smell and consistency na health hazard. But let's round up here, amala deserves a whole new topic, make we no spoil mr. akpu's runs. |
Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by honeric01(m): 9:13am On May 08, 2009 |
sugabelle: each time i end up eating fufu, i tend to be as heavy as an elephant in a human skin. ok, we will continue that another time, i need to head to work to make some dough!!! |
Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by spikedcylinder: 9:37am On May 08, 2009 |
See them "chopping knuckle" because of food. |
Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by sugabelle: 9:40am On May 08, 2009 |
spikedcylinder: not food, but our taste in food. And before u ask what's the diff, don't bother bc i know ur argumentative and poke-nosing style. |

Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by spikedcylinder: 9:53am On May 08, 2009 |
sugabelle: Hmmm. . . . Argumentative over food? It was just a light jibber jabber, no need to get riled up over anything. |
Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by sugabelle: 9:53am On May 08, 2009 |

Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by AloyEmeka9: 9:37pm On May 08, 2009 |
Reduce the quantity you swallow. That is the major issue with us Africans. You don't need to swallow the balls until your gut is full. Use water and vegetable to fill the empty spaces. |

This foolfool( i mean fufu, lol) i[b]s some dangerous ish, the smell and consistency na health hazard[/b]. But let's round up here, amala deserves a whole new topic, make we no spoil mr. akpu's runs.Why is akpu more of a health hazard than amala or alubo?. History have shown that people get food poisoning from any mud they dessicate. Dried akpu powder is more dangerous than the wet ones. How many families have you heard that died in Nigeria after a meal of akpu, it's always some dessicated food that poisons them. |

Starch and palm kernel soup coupled with dried fish or maybe pounded yam egusi soup with some wicked fresh fish will do me,Starch is Benin and Urhobo delicacy. You have to be very careful on the way you prepare it before you poison yourself with cyanide. I usually don't eat starch from anybody except if it was prepared by an urhobo or Benin woman because they know the science and how to make it cyanide free. Palm kernel soup is called Banga. na cholesterol power house be that but I likam die. |
Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by sugabelle: 10:33pm On May 08, 2009 |
Aloy.Emeka: i no talk say akpu dey kill o, or half of the igbo population would have been wiped out long ago! Aloy.Emeka: my brother, one ball of fufu is equal to four balls of amala, true talk. Like I said, fufu's consistency is heavier than the lightweight amala and harder to swallow(for me and to many with delicate throats ). and the smell . . . well, that is a story for another day. All in all it has its own flavour and potency so I understand why it's so popular with our able-bodied Igbo gents. |
Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by honeric01(m): 12:08am On May 09, 2009 |
Aloy.Emeka: Stop that, you want to tell me how i should consume my fufu abi i eat according to what i have to do, i am a man and men always eat to their fullest okay? Aloy.Emeka: I am a Bini dude, so don't worry about me being careful, my mom taught me how to handle the kitchen, so don't worry about that ok |

Sorry, I don't drink alcohol at all. Why should I use my money to buy that bitter liquid? |

Stop that, you want to tell me how i should consume my fufu abi i eat according to what i have to do, i am a man and men always eat to their fullest okay?Make una see African man. Yes men eat to the fullest but I tell you half of what you consume can still fill your stomach if you use water to fill the gaps. |
Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by AloyEmeka9: 7:01pm On May 10, 2009 |
my brother, one ball of fufu is equal to four balls of amala, true talkHow did you draw this inference. Remember that amala is made from dried yam or plantains and I don't think that yams have less calories than cassava. It's the method of preparation that determines the calorie content in most cases. Akpu has more carbs than garri but they are both from the same parent source. So if you want to compare akpu in terms of carbs, compare it with pounded yam freshly prepared. One good thing about akpu is it's smoothness and freshness and that is the only beauty it has. |
Re: Igbo Men Vs Akpu by sugabelle: 10:11pm On May 10, 2009 |
Aloy.Emeka: I'm no food scientist, but I go by my natural instinct: akpu(see how the name strong sef ) is very solid, even when prepared lightly and with plenty plenty water. . I'm sure it's because of this solidness that it is so popular with Igbo men who care more about substance than major food value (no tribalism intended!) |
