Moi-Moi is Moi Moi.... it is a Nigerian Meal, not a western food.
Simple!!

Perfectly agree with you! I don't know why we don't like celebrating our own! Moimoi is a Nigerian food and not in any way an English food. Bean pudding/puddling/cake all crappy names for our very dear Moimoi. I wish I'd see someday on an English board/blog where people are asking for African name/let alone Nigerian name for ice cream... orishirishi

Op, everything didn't originate from the English people. Moi Moi or Mai Mai is proudly African and thus the English should learn to say it that way.

Its Moi Moi/Mai Mai.

Tosdam:

There is.... Rack your brain.

There isnt. Do you see the Japanese asking for the English name of sushi? Or the Mexicans asking for the English name of tacos? We should embrace our own. No need to rebrand it

Nigeria youth with their olodo tendency... Africa cake ko, Europe cookies ni

Tosdam:


You Confidently get it wrong. Bean cake is Akara...

Akara is bean ball

gentlegenius:
I'm disappointed to see this trash on front page.
Lalasticlala and crew... Why
Why did you guys turn the Nairaland front page to trash bin?

After being disappointed, you should have just given the correct answer to the question and walk away.

Must our local delicacies also have oyibo names? Moi moi is moi moi. If you make any attempt at giving it an oyibo name, you lose it. This is the burden those that call akara, bean cake. Akara is fried while cake is baked. Besides, akara is made from crushed beans while cake is made from flour.
