Akara Is Not "Bean Cake",
Moi_Moi Is Not "Bean Pudding",
Abacha Is Not "African Salad",
Garri Is Not "Cassava Flakes/Flour",
Akamu Is Not "Pap",
Eba Is Not "Baked Cassava Flour"..

Respect Our Culture And Stop Translating The Names Of Our Cuisines To What You Don't Know.

After All, You Buy Pizza And Spaghetti (Italian Names) And Call It With Their Italian Names...

So Why Not Leave Our Akara And Moi_Moi To Bear Their Original Names, So It Can Tell Where It Originated From, Anytime Foreigners Sees Them...

If A Friend From USA Or UK Asks You What You Had For Breakfast, Lunch Or Dinner. Tell Him You Had Abacha, Eba Or Akara And Akamu...

And If They Don't Know It, Let Them Google About It. After All, That's Also How We(Africans) Read About Their Cuisines On The Internet...

Telling Them You Had "Bean Cake Or Pap", Doesn't Mean You Are Exposed And Educated, It Only Shows How Inferior You Take Yourself And Your heritage �

You are right, OP
I was surprised when I got to South Africa and discovered the food they call pap

It's actually a doughmeal, something like eba but made from maize flour.

Let's be proud to call our foods with their local names.
