Hey Amber, I'm Asian and I can cook. In fact I can cook very well! |
Re: What Can I Cook For My Igbo Husband? by amberella: 5:25am On Jun 15, 2008 |
gabrywyl: Sorry, I didn't mean to imply anything about Asians or their ability to cook. In fact I'm osessed with Malaysian food. mmm, It just so happens that the 2 women I know who don't cook are Asian. So, when do I get to try this cooking of yours? |
Re: What Can I Cook For My Igbo Husband? by Gabry(f): 5:30am On Jun 15, 2008 |
hahah! Amber, my entire family calls me a Mud Blood cause I'm the only one in the family whom does not really know how to cook Malaysian Food. I was studying culinary arts before but mostly in intenrational cuisine like french dishes, Japanese, Korean, Italian etc etc. Malaysian? Heheh! Forget about it. The men in my family are great local cooks though. |

Allowing women into your home to teach you how to cook your husband's kind of food, will eventually bring disaster in your marriage,even if your man is the most loyal of all men. I totally disagree. Not all marriages will be doomed for disaster as a result of the wife asking one or two lady friends to show her how to cook. It is all about INTEGRITY i.e what will he do when no one is looking? which a lot of people forget to look for in a partner; with some people more concerned with status, looks, height, job title, car he drives, complexion, Wages, sexual prowess, English skills, The make of shirts he wears and other silly superficial qualities. All this can be confirmed by reading previous posts on Nairaland with people stating these qualities as what they will look for in the opposite sex. As for me I went for a kind man of integrity forgetting all the above superficial qualities and years later I can 100% honestly say I will choose this same man above all others. A kind man will not do anything to hurt his wife and kids and this simple statement covers a lot of scenarios. I know its too late for some but for those still looking , choose wisely, of all the superficial qualities listed above, the only thing one cant change is the height & probably the complexion which is not the end of the world. Everything else is dynamic and can be changed with love & nurturing. Sorry I digressed a little from the original post. |

Re: What Can I Cook For My Igbo Husband? by redsun(m): 5:58pm On Jun 15, 2008 |
Leilah,sometimes unreasonable partners need some edgy situations to jeer up,show him you don't give a Bleep,let him go hungry for all u care,then he will begin to wonder if you now have a man that is keen on u,play hard to get a little bit,ur been with him for years and having kids not withstanding,u will put him on a spin and he will rethink,most people don't appreciate things when it comes on a platter,it is natural,except for few exceptions. There is always somebody out there that will adore u and that is what u need all the time.The only problem is that women dread even temporary lonelines,especially when they are aging with kids,so they do any thing to stick to any relationship,no matter how stupid it is. Sometimes,men appreciate unagreeable,not wayward women more than the all YES I CAN ones.And too,birds of the same feathers flocks together,relate with somebody on the same perspectives,money can't buy that.Love and appreciations comes with understanding,just like every other thing in life. |

@Engineered don't mind amber, some people just like to comment on matters that don't concern them, just cause they feel they can. I appreciate u leila, for u to come on Nairaland to ask for cooking help just so your husband is pleased with u shows u are a woman of virtue , Indeed your mom taught u well, so do u have any sister, age ranging between 23 and 26 Engineered I dont understand you, what exactly are you after ? finding leila a solution to her challenge or finding a way to her heart and family? Brosssssss |
Re: What Can I Cook For My Igbo Husband? by Gabry(f): 8:07am On Jun 16, 2008 |
I still think you should ask him what is wrong with your cooking. Tell him to write in the comment card. Otherwise, he can do like what me and my hunk do. He cooks, I cleans. End of Story Finito! |
Re: What Can I Cook For My Igbo Husband? by ehie007(m): 10:33am On Jun 16, 2008 |
i think its more than the womans cooking, a reasonable husband cannot be ignoring his wife cooking forever, there something else going on that we dont know about, may be theres a new woman in his life. |
Re: What Can I Cook For My Igbo Husband? by Gabry(f): 10:36am On Jun 16, 2008 |
YIKES!!! Dont say thaty Ehie. . . . I don't think so and I don't want to believe it despite all the hard work she has done to please him. . . . Maybe her husband is a natural born Food Critic? |
Re: What Can I Cook For My Igbo Husband? by Jesuloba: 10:42am On Jun 16, 2008 |
Two things: 1. Get him to tell you his favourite dishes, and confirm if he can make them. If yes, get him to ppersonallyteach you how to make the dishes. 2. If that doesn't work, (or works partially), 'shadow' his brother's wife in making the dishes you have seen him enjoy. Because you have noted this as a concern, and that you are eager to get it resolved, you are half-way done! Keep trying love. God bless. |
Re: What Can I Cook For My Igbo Husband? by ehie007(m): 11:14am On Jun 16, 2008 |
@gabrywyl, i still believe its beyond the womans cooking, a man cant be a critic to his wife's cooking for a very long time if he doenst want trouble in his marriage. his mind is divided, some other woman who knows how to cook igbo dishes is making him happy somwere else, i just hope she aint making him happy in bed too. |

Re: What Can I Cook For My Igbo Husband? by ehie007(m): 11:50am On Jun 16, 2008 |
@gabrywyl, didnt read ur story. |
Re: What Can I Cook For My Igbo Husband? by Gabry(f): 1:21pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
Ehie, Okay this is my story previously. Poster, Do you suppose that maybe its not the Igbo dishes that it could be that your cooking does not taste good? My aunt got married to her husband for 10 years and everytime she cooks, her husband would not eat it and will go out to town to eat after that. He complaints saying that she cannot cook a Malaysian food so one day I went to her house and sat together with her husband doing a crossword puzzle. My aunt was cooking in the kitchen. Then my uncle told me, make sure you drink alot of alcohol before you eat her dishes otherwise, you might just die of a heart attack. I just smiled and ignored his comments. Then when the food was served and we started eating. OH MY GOD. . . It was the most horrible food which I have tasted in my entire life!!! After dinner is over and my aunt went to wash the dishes, I ask my uncle, what is his comment on the food, he told me that she is just not made to cook at all and he would not want to offend her in any ways but still loves her no matter what. I told him by not eating her food, he is already offending her why not just tell her the truth for God sakes. . . . He then made a comment card and wrote the following:- Dear My One and Only Darling in my entire life, I love you so much that I would die for you but unfortunately, I am not willing to die over your cooking so I think from this point onwards, I shall do the cooking or hire someone to do the cooking or we could just eat out. Remember, I love you. After that, I honestly don't know what happen so maybe you should ask him what is it about the food that he don't like or maybe you put a comment card on the table so after he eats, he can just go fill up the card. |

Re: What Can I Cook For My Igbo Husband? by ehie007(m): 2:41pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
@gabrywyl, are u nigerian, in nigeria culture food can make a marriage go sour, what ur uncle did was bold and mature, most men wont av the courage to do that, i feel the man should come out plain and thruthful and tell heis wife that her cooking sucks. from theere they can find solution to it. anyway Men are better cooks than women, if my wife was to be a bad cook, i take over the kitchen when i get the time, otherwise eating outside will be a temporary solution b4 the wife gets to learn how to cook. question? Didnt he know that his wife culdnt cook when he was dating her, men guys u need to shine ur eyes b4 u marry oh, cos aving a bad cook as a wife can pose a serious problem in a marriage. |

My dear, I understand your plight. I am a real Igbo woman and I grow up under the watchful eyes of my mother. I started cooking at the age of ten and I am 36. I have helped a lot of women out of similar situation. You cannot prepare Igbo dish through the information on the Internet. If you really want to learn how to cook Igbo dish, I will help you. Just get in touch with me through this medium: heton71@yahoo.com |
Re: What Can I Cook For My Igbo Husband? by coi: 7:30pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
Moreover, a typical Igbo man cherishes his stomach more than anything- Good meals bring them closer to their home and they are so attached to their local delicacies. He will only endure your incompetence in making Igbo meals only for a while. Please, do everything possible and learn how to keep ur husband with local food, If not, im sorry but he may get fed up and find someone out there to make his meals Good luck. |
Re: What Can I Cook For My Igbo Husband? by outlaws(m): 7:03am On Jun 17, 2008 |
What's Up Poster? I think you are doing too much. You need to chill. If your so called husband or boyfriend I don't which one is which any more appreciates you, he will not complain. Believe it or not, if he do, he will be the one bringing in all the recipes. He may have a hidden agenda. These Nigerians you can never trust them. Have you seen his permanent resident card. Not to scare you, he may be using you. Also these Nigerian men can do anything to get their resident card, getting married is just a small thing compared to what they can do. |
