isi-ewu and cold gulder which one is corn moin-moin o? is the corn inside the moin-moin or eaten together?
corn moin-moin is called 'abari' where I come from; the only difference is you use fresh corn instead of beans.

right and my mom and grandma use Odo (mortar and pestle) to grind theirs instead of engine. it's so delicious that way and the not so smooth testure in your mouth will make you love it the more (for those who love the traditional way of making meals) oh my goodness yummy. i have everything to make it (even mortar) lol and my roomies asking what you want to do with the wooden stuffs, lol but i had to stop because no leaf to wrap it. my mom asked me on the phone what i'd like to eat when i visit, i said Opor (corn moin moin) and she was all laughing  she said it's corn season and they are enjoying it

Asian like nigeria meals a lot especially our stews  while my kenya friend loves our egusi soup  so true o. and vice versa. asians have soul food like us and they eat their food with so much gusto, unlike oyinbo peeps that just scarf down the thing like there's no tomorrow. lawd, i love asian food so much, especially thai and indian. i'm thinking of taking cooking lessons. they like to cook for people, especially friends and family, very nigerian-like in their customs i notice.

They like going to naija restuartants too, always begging me to follow them and suggest things to try. Omoge your motar and pestle is it really big? I see only small ones here, but i don't want to stress my family at home to one here, there is this plantain dish we have in Rivers that i havent had in 16yrs because i no get mortar and pestal.
