my roomate once said some mean abt my ofe crayfish and i gave it to her real bad that she started crying. she went to her academic counselor, dunno
what she told that counselor (maybe used me as the person who made her fail a quiz or test, wetin concern me). she liked the other asian roomies food like tofu and cooked it all the time, i never said nothing. but that day, i gave it to her real good/bad.

The last time i ate in a Chinese restaurant, the smells there almost killed me. It was like a mortuary in there and no one was complaining. Why all these run down posts about African food? Don't they eat crayfish? Don't they eat locust beans? Indians and Chinese have the most horrific smelling foods and the irony of it all is that it's the ones with the most disgusting smell that are the most expensive. NO ONE COMPLAINS! ! ! Everyone considers it a "privilege" to eat their crap but when it comes to 9ja food, it's our OWN PEOPLE that will be the first to run their own country down. No wonder we are always looked down upon.

Rubbish!

I hail o! my people. anyway no matter the type of food you are cooking, you can eliminate or reduce the aroma by simply boiling distilled vinegar in a seperate pot. it socks up odours. try it out.

Thanks. Gave a try today using any brand of vinegar I found.Worked well. No smell during and after cooking. Highly recommended.
