nazablossom:Naza longtime o.. Different strokes for different folks....I know we have ogiri that comes in smelly paste like well wrapped with leaves and sold 20-50naira in the local market around some states in the south east. Okpei is that very black smelly stuff too, it's different from the usual ogiri. Their is also Iru from yoruba, in a small seed like form well fermented. It gives similar taste like when u use the ogiri in Igbo markets. We also have the peeled seeds of ugu, cooked wrapped and left to ferment for some days... My people use it in uha soup and the palatable ofe Owerri as well. |

sassysure:Madam calm down why the adrenaline rise now? You really don't have to attack OP or some posts to prove your point... If you know all this things very well, you will create a thread to enlighten everyone. To the bone of contest, We have ogiri from different sources, we have okpei, we also have Iru for the Yorubas. To your ugba case, Is ugba not oil bean seed that comes in strands after preparation or have u changed the ugba we know? I am from Imo and av lived in Anambra as well. And have lived with Yorubas also. The exposure comes with experience If u will agree with me. OP used IRU as a subject matter, but he/ she deviated, but no need attacking now. Attached is ugba picture from google.

Munzy14:Please oo ofe akwu is not Banga. They are two different soups with only one thing in common, the palm fruit used. Ingredients used in cooking is very different. |
Re: Iru: The Godmother Of All Condiments by Munzy14(m): 10:51am On Jun 27, 2020 |
blazer90707:The difference is the addition of scent leaf for Igbos. I used banga so people who aren't Igbo will flow with the discussion. Palm fruit is called banga in our pidgin especially for SS people(delta and rivers precisely). Akwu is it's Igbo name. Ofe is soup in Igbo. 1 Like |
