it is called ikokore

i know how to prepare ikokore,

if you have the right yam?

you don't want to use the real yam ,

or else you will get yam porridge.

ikokore will drawl, if you cook it right

oh!! that meal is delicious. all my life in the west, i never tasted it until i went home to visit (East) and granny made it! it was sooooooo yummy  Cheesy

yeah if you can lay your hands on a good specie of water yam, then you are all set. without water yam, your ikokore won't come out well.

There is this water yam with wonderful scent (note that there are different kinds of water yam).

Nothing to add you posted the recipe exact way it's prepared.

Wonder if i can ever come across that water yam in ilu oyinbo sha.

yeah, its a really nice meal,

there's also a calabar version of the food, they called it Epanku kwu(pardon my spellling),  the only difference is that they mix theirs with cocoyam to make it thicker and wrap it with cocoyam leaves, it makes it so palatable and lovely,  Wink

Please make sure it has enough "Orisirisi". Pieces of meat, fish, ponmo, crayfish ,  all these are what makes it very tasty. Lack of these and the food will not make sense to new "eaters".

The pictures are beautiful. I've eaten Ikokore before but its not my kind of thing, though it is a good food. I've never been a fan of yam be it porridge or plain boiled yams.

I'm beginning to worry. What the hell do you eat?

I mean I don't like pounded yam but to hate yam in general? It blows my mind.

Let me just say my tongue has a mind of its own Grin. I eat pounded yams though, depending on the kind of soup but boiled yams and porridge it's a no no. I only try to eat them when there's no other choice and it has to be just one tiny slice.
