I grew up in umuahia but an indigenous Anambra Man, I can count number of times I have eaten this soup. We grew up hating this soup due to the sound it makes in our mouth while eating it when we were small |

ignis:this. Nigerians need to know this and apply it to their lives. Not every of our every day food items or locally made/known items need an English name. If the Englishman or European asks, tell them the Nigerian/African name. Afterall we didn't give pizza an Igbo, Yoruba or hausa name. Why do we need to give Akara, Agidi, moimoi English names? Like why? Achara is achara, it doesn't have and doesn't need an English name. Unless it is a specie of an already known and named plant. But for us, it is what it is. It is so annoying seeing Nigerians struggle to give our local foods English names. 1 Like |

Mercychen:Anyone familiar with Abia people especially Umuahia and Ikwuano people will in one way or the other taste this soup.. The achara makes it that crunchy...More of a vegetable stuff in soup..the use it in one kind egusi and achi soup like that...they mold the Egusi into small balls. Just over hyped though. |

Munzy14: Yeah you're right. She's from Abia. Umuahia side. She actually made it with egusi the day she told me about it. When she showed me the soup and offered me some to test, I didn't like the face. So I told her, "I'm full". . I'm not a fan of achi. I prefer ede or Ukpor thickeners. Oh.. so it's just the crunchy taste there is to it? Mtchew.. used to think it tastes like Mushrooms. In fact, I thought it was mushroom. You're very right on this one. na Umuahia people soup. |
