Moi Moi is what it is, it must not have English name. We should stop this disgusting attitude of trying to link everything we do or have to English.

sammieguze:

I think beans pudding and akara is the cake



But then.... who English name help?
I do not see Englishmen try to give Nigerian names to their food neither do Italian, Frenchmen or Chinese

It is simply moimoi.
it they can't pronounce it, their whala.
I still find it hard to pronounce pomegranate and the last time I checked, it has not been given a Nigerian name

kiddapunk:
God bless u,Nigerians and inferiority complex

kokomilala:
@Beckino, you're absolutely right. Language is culturally transmitted and cannot be interpreted without its cultural equivalents. The food, moin, moin, is not culturally found or entrenched in the English culture,so it's futile and artistically betraying to attempt to look for its English word. Well, one could also attempt to look for cultural equivalent for the Italian food, spaghetti, the English food, bacon, etc. It's also an artistic betrayal for a Yoruba man to eat hot amala or eba with spoon or fork instead of his fingers. ☺️
