Lazy Op, come and finish what you started oo! Every Yoruba subgroup has its own delicacies, so let me see if I can help out. Ekuru, Iyan(pounded yam)and efo elegusi belong to Ondo and Ekiti Eba, plain Egusi soup, Gari Soaking, Fufu, Eberipo elewe and Ikokore are Ijebu's. Egbo is food I grew up thinking is Ijebu's but now I can see it's eaten a lot in Ibadan too. Godo/Eberipo(cocoyam) and obe didin for Remo Lafu (white amala) Ewedu All Star & Eko, Ofada and Ayamase for Egba Amala isu, Ewedu and Gbegiri for Oyo Sokoyoto, Ila All Star, Eko and Eba for Awori. Asaro, Moin Moin, Adalu, Egbo, Ewa-Agoyin. Apon, Gizdodo are all Yoruba. Kwara and Kogi have Agbado and Rice meal, Oka is another word for Agbado but I don't think that's what it's called. And of course Yoruba put ‘J’ in W-ollof rice. Then comes the street food Agbon nuggets Guguru & Epa Asun Boli Kokoro Langbe(boiled corn) Dodo Puff puff Bunz Shin-Shin Akara Igbekere Dodo ikire Dundu Ojojo Robo(spicy Egusi snack) Agbado yiyan Ekuru Adun Jogi(roasted moin-moin) Yilata squad(Igbin,Beef, Ponmo & Eja) There are more but I can't remember their names, like fried batter made from fresh corn and sugar. I think Yoruba have the most street food. Argh! I'm hungry now! 7 Likes 1 Share |

Bolo, are you saying Ondo and Ekiti are no longer Yoruba? No other people in the world eat pounded yam like these two Yoruba groups. They eat it everyday, sometimes more than once daily. Fatherofdragons: 6 Likes |

Egusi is Yoruba's first before others burrowed it, that's why we have more than 7 ways to add Egusi to our food, not just in soup like the rest of you. martineverest: 5 Likes 1 Share |

They are actually pan African now, but that doesn't make them not to have origin. Only Yoruba call Beans Ewa in Africa. Jollof rice is Senegalese and Egusi, Moin Moin, Akara, Eba are all Yoruba's first before it became other's. IkeBuya: 3 Likes |

JARUSHUB:Originally..ewa agayin is neither a yoruba nor Nigerian cuisine..it was merely adopted from Outside Nigeria. Coined from Ewa, a Yoruba word meaning beans and Agoyin, a name that was used by Nigerians to describe people from Ghana, Togo and Benin Republic, Ewa Agoyin is simply a word used to describe how people from these regions make their beans meal. It is, however, more peculiar to the Togolese and Cotonou people. Ewa Agoyin was introduced into the Nigerians’ diet by the migrating Agoyin people, who came to Nigeria as early as far back as the sixties. It became more popular in the 80s’, until its fame and craving for it began to dissipate in the mid-nineties. One of the special things about Ewa Agoin was the way it cut across all the social strata or economic classes in the Lagos metropolis. 2 Likes |

What about the one that spreads like pumpkin or is it melon leaves? My g-granny used to stir-fried it for me right out of her garden back then when I was little with just oil, pepper dried fish and salt, but still the most delicious veges ever. Soknown: 2 Likes |
