It is the new normal

pocohantas:


It is not modern o, it is vintage. Hehehe

When I see a fresh stew, I just know it is a stew I shouldn’t eat. No well fried stew looks fresh. Most Nigerians cook horrible stew and they don’t even know it.

pocohantas:


Hahaha. I hope you know I am Igbo?
Anyway, that acidic taste is mainly from tin tomatoes. They don’t fry well. You know my people are not so into frying/oil.

That said, except for party jollof, I think tin tomatoes has outlived its usefulness. The sight if it troubles my soul now. I don’t even have it in my house and I haven’t used it in my stew in ages.

When tomatoes scarce nko?
Naija no be Italy o.

Better appreciate good old tinned tomatoes.

Semo with the soup make sense

phemmyfour:
The pot looks like sacrifice pot. No matter how good the food looks, serving me from the pot is a turn off for me

I prefer that pot to the modern delicate ones that are unreasonably expensive.

I like pots that let food fry and burn as it should.

Semo with stew?

Hmm. I switch to ofe akwu or curry sauce. Nne I haven’t used it in ages o. Before I thought it is impossible to cook good stew without it. Thanks for growth sha.

pocohantas:
You need to taste this stew and the cow leg from it. Very soft and sweet.

You mean your stew is sweet? Did u put sugar?

phemmyfour:
I m not familiar with this type of local pot. The one I know is attached below

Same material but different size and shape. Pocohantas uses it because of the advantages of the material

Wow! Looks really good.. This will go well with boiled yam.

But, the vegetable oil is a No No! for me. They are completely unnatural & should be avoided.

Good job ma'am.

Really

pocohantas:


That is fine dear. I didn’t cook it for you.

You have bad mouth.......

There are some with legs, the big sizes are the most popular. However, they have these smaller sizes for individual use and they are widely sold now as young people are embracing it.

Yea, that one you attached is also available. This wider looking type is for frying and stewing. To imitate a wok.

Seriously Poco I am familiar with the big ones they use for party jollof .I never knew they have smaller ones like the one you used for the stew.What is the price range? I wont mind getting this smaller sized pot.

I am surely trying your stew method soonest.

Nice one.

They have smaller sized ones for young people that want na. I don’t even think it is new, just one of those things internet and social media made more popular and acceptable.

Depends on the size, bought mine 2100. Let me know when you try it nne.

MadamVanessa:



I was actually planning to prepare this to day, only for my sugar daddy to say that lately he has been eating spoon food, that he needs swallow. I had no other choice than to make him Okro soup with semo.

Poco is a very good cook though.

Ok continue

Poco, where do you buy yours?

I am not sure they sell it where they sell kitchen utensils.

I hope they have covers.

I need them

Are you glad you are dating a sugar daddy?

Hahaha. Yes they come with covers and are sold separately from regular kitchen utensils. If you are anywhere in the SW, you just have to ask a seller in the market and they’ll point you in the right direction.

I bought mine in Ijesha market.
