Many People Probably DONT Know The English Names Of These FOOD/ DRINK by blazepascal(m): 8:16pm On Mar 17, 2021 |
There are a few famous food and drinks we typically fed on that we likely may not recognise the English names as we're typically acquainted with the nearby names there are being known as through the dealers or buyers. Some folks may recognise the English names of a number of those ingredients though, however I wager we used to the nearby names and likely if we inform the dealers of those ingredients or beverages the English call, he/she may not recognise what we're referring to.hbd the correct word for GARRI is cassava granules” or cassava flake stop calling it zobo the right word is hibiscus tea or Roselle plant tea the English name for kuli kuli is peanut bars the English word for suya is pork satay or pork kebab stop calling it kunu the English name is gruel akara is bean cake actually its not pure water the right word is sachet water the English name for ewedu is jute mallow there is a fruit we normally call fruit if you can remember its actually tropical almond stop calling it abalumo udara or cherry the right word is African star apple stop calling it aki hausa the correct word is tiger nut Igbo people its not cheleku the right word is black velvet tamarind hope you 've been enlightened?? |

The only thing I have been seat or the real is that "fruit" the American Star apple. Nice one. As for the others I'll continue calling them the names the local people who sell them know them by. I can't go and be wasting time telling the local market woman i want to buy peanut bar, hibiscus drink or cassava flakes. That would be creating language barrier in this age and time when people are trying to break dem barrier. Thanks for the star apple though. 1 Like |

blazepascal:Is kebab an English word ? It's funny how we only try to copy part of the western culture that do us no good and leave the meaningful part out. Suya is suya no where in Nigeria they use pork for suya Kuli Kuli is Kuli Kuli Zobo is zobo because that's what we choice to call it. |
