Eh ya, I'm sorry cry. If it makes you feel better there are some foods I haven't tasted since I was a little kid and I miss those as well.
Re: What Food Do You Miss Eating? by Phate07(m): 8:45am On Oct 29, 2010

^^Ofe nsala is not really the end of the world. sad One food i would surely not like to do without is definitely my egusi soup. wink But i still miss ofe nsala!
Re: What Food Do You Miss Eating? by InkedNerd(f): 9:20am On Oct 29, 2010
Chai, your making me hungry. There are still some Nigerian foods that I eat but sometimes not having all the ingredients or substituting ingredients is annoying, especially if you can't get them right away. Can't wait to go back home cry.
Re: What Food Do You Miss Eating? by Phate07(m): 9:32am On Oct 29, 2010

From your comments i guess you are an Igbo girl. Me i believe we Ibos have the best range of delicious foods and have an equally large appetite. wink From ofe akwu to uha soup, just name it and am game.

Hehehe, yes I'm an Igbo girl. I've never had Yoruba food before. Yupp, you're right Ibo food is great.
Re: What Food Do You Miss Eating? by Phate07(m): 10:35am On Oct 29, 2010

Re: What Food Do You Miss Eating? by GeorgeD1(m): 10:42am On Oct 29, 2010
phate,
'yoruba food' that you mentioned is too generic. can you say which specific yoruba food your talking about?

Cant really remember, am not much of a 'yoruba foods' person.

Another local delicacy i like is edikan ikon soup. Have you tasted it? Have you tasted it? You should try it. Its really sweet, esp if well cooked. wink

ok. i've tried edikan ikon soup and its very good when well prepared but if an unskilled person prepares it, you won't like to touch it.

I kinda assumed that if you lived in Nigeria, that some of the soups you missed would be at your disposal more than someone else who lived elsewhere. I guess it was a silly thought undecided
Re: What Food Do You Miss Eating? by Phate07(m): 5:34pm On Oct 29, 2010

It does not mean. It depends on current locale. Where i am now, all those delicacies are not available. cool

lol sorry o. The boy engulfs everything. With the way he eats and the fact that he doesn't exercise you'd think he's be fat but instead he's leaned and toned.

He should exercise more, it is good for the body. As for me, i normally do atleast 20push-ups each morning and also bench weights when am near one. cool
How's your friend keeping lean and fit if he does not exercise regularly? Maybe he's not eating foods rich in fat. Or maybe he just has a fast body metabolism that converts the food into energy without storing it as fat.

Yes eats a lot of processed, high calorie, greasy food. Basically, anything that would give you a major heart attack is what he eats. If I offered him a bite from my veggie sandwich or some of my veggie pizza he'd run off screaming bloody murder. With all honesty, I'm truly baffled by how in shape he looks.

Mmmm, paremsan cheese. I love cheese, but I can't eat too much of it. . . It makes me breakout. There are some things I can eat if they have some cheese on it but for the most part dairy makes me breakout cry.

I ADORE it, I could eat it on/with everything but I really would get fat.

So it gives you breakouts, I've heard that said by many but I thought it was a myth.

I taught my ex to add it to a Nigerian dish that looks like thick mash potatoes, it's absolutely delicious.
