Tonye001, this is brilliant. The soup looks quite tasty.
On a side note, how far is Ogbadigbo from Obollo Afor? Thanks.

The market location got me wondering too; good job any way.

TONYE001:


Sir, trust me, you don't want to hang halfway...lolz..

Good job

mmmm! looks yummy!! but..... tonye, are you sure that after eating this, I won't spend 8hrz in the toilet? I would love to try it tomorrow afternoon,

TONYE001:


The other day at the Corps Members' Lodge, I was bored, lonely, and hungry. There was nothing to eat basically because no one was around to cook. We were all away, enjoying our break (school break) which is still on, technically (no thanks to the Ebola outbreak).

...so I decided to make a pot of soup. Being an adventurer and someone that loves to try new things, I decided to cook "something" I've never done before; something out of my imagination. The idea of garden egg-cabbage-egusi soup played on my mind's screen...

Enjoy as you read through the thread...

Greenage:
You are not only experimental, you are also meticulous. I particularly appreciate the way you have documented the experiment. You have left a bases for people to work upon. However, i think the palm oil was too much but that's my taste you may enjoy it like that. Please apply this attiude to other areas of your life.

Thanks...

Not far... From my post to Afor market is about 40 - 45 minutes...

TONYE001:


Hello Walearoy...

Hi,
Were are you serving?
I'll like to visit someday!

Well call me d gr8t taster cos d village I served I ate stuffs acientt 2 me but my system was all up 2 it n guess dey all luved me s it too

I wuld b willing 2 taste ur adventure @ op but d problem ur a male.

MY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION

1. The soup was thick and heavy. This may be due to the grated garden eggs, the ogba, and of course, the egusi...

2. The soup had a "seedy" appearance which was obviously due to the garden eggs used,

3. There was a unique, pleasing taste the garden eggs offered, it gave the egusi a different taste from the usual,

4. The overall taste of the soup was FANTASTIC! (as confirmed by my colleagues).


Conclusion: I may not be wrong if I call myself an Experimentalist. I love trying out new things...just for the fun of it.

My garden eggs, cabbage, and egusi soup stunt was a huge success. In fact, one of my colleagues had to eat it twice that evening!

I encourage fellow Nairalanders to give this a try at home, I'm sure you all would enjoy it.

Nairalanders, over to you... Your comments please...

Moderators, kindly help me push this to the Frontpage, please... Thanks, in advance..

Next batch shld further develop this project using the problems,conclusion nd limitations.
#vandeikya. nice.

NB: I guess next time the seeds from the egg shld b removed to avoid the seedlike view nd then dry fish can follow with kanda...

Too much oil for my liking, O.p must be from that side. Soup looks good though,with 1/10 of the oil content,i would have liked it.

Garden Egg is an African favorite

This variety has a brilliant red exterior and is about the size and shape of an egg, giving it the name “garden egg"

palm oil stew is not waning in its deliciousness and its popularity.

http://www.nigerianfoods.com/products/palm-oil-carotino-0-9

Palm oil (also known as dendê oil, from Portuguese) is an edible vegetable oil derived from the mesocarp (reddish pulp) of the fruit of the oil palms, primarily the African oil palm Elaeis guineensis.

I bought some garden eggs today but they were too sweet so I couldn't eat much( I prefer bitter garden eggs). I'm too stingy to throw them away so I searched Google on how to prepare garden eggs sauce with egusi. Boom! Google led me to your thread. You know the funniest thing? I'll also be preparing this tonight at one of the corpers lodges in kwara state.
