The normal pepper we use to cook stew
The Yam we eat
The brown kidney beans we use to beans

I am asking in case I go outside and I am looking for these ingredients to cook.

Any help would be appreciated.

tpia@:

sounds like an invasion to me.

a lazy one at that.

too lazy to even use google.

It made more sense to me to check a Nigerian forum for something about Nigerian food. Plus, I am sure I have checked google in the past but didn't get the satisfactory information.

Also, invasion?
