Gbegiri almost Nupe?? grin
By the way, have you eaten "efo riro" before??

I have. One thing I’d say is that Igbo people tend to be somewhat more fond of cooking food with turkey more than Yorubas (and torotoro, in-turn, is probably more popular in Imo State than anywhere-else, especially with their Christmas stews and jellof rice) and that’s another important factor when it comes to making certain types of soup/maximising their taste and so I would like to see more efo-riro cooked with that than just major cow-roundabouts (which are still very important for what they are). With certain of even those higher-ranking Yoruba foods I just get the vibe that an Owerri or Awka woman could just make it better given a bit more direct exposure to whatever the food is so I can be a bit sheepish in ascribing a great deal of credit to Yorubas for foods beyond the good take so many of them have more general/shared Nigerian foods (moi-moi, akara, rice, stews) unless they’re from Ondo/Ekiti (they really do have a lot of good native foods) but for what it is now efo riro is actually a very sweet one and I enjoy it.
Ekiti people are more likely to serve it with e/agidi, yam and rice, whereas other Yorubas (I don’t think efo-riro is particularly common with Ondo folk, so obviously apart from them) tend to go more with utara-ji/eba as a side-food; am I right?

Lol, which one is tomi fish? I prefer it with pomo, cow head, periwinkle and dried river fish. Those very expensive fish that cost up to N200k. That fish is good in banga soup too. Owho spooks non indigenes a lot compared to banga.
I don't know if I got the spelling correctly but that's how the Urhobos call it......It has this kinda soured taste when eaten like that but tastes differently and better in owho soup. It's regarded as big man fish by the Urhobos. I am very sure Simplepee will understand what am trying to explain.

Some of your statements are right, Amala is more commonly eaten than you've it credit for in Yoruba land though. I'm a Yoruba man anyway.
The akara I've been eating here tastes better than the ones I ate while I was in Enugu. Also, the food wey fall my hand pass na okpa o. The hype around it, before I tasted it anyway, was that it has a better taste compared to moin-moin. I believe the only Yoruba soup outsiders often have reservations against is "ewedu", cos of how slimy it looks. I should have tried more of Igbo soup while I was at Enugu though, the few ones I ate wasn't really too palatable with my taste buds. That's why I decided to stick to what I know. grin
I think the Yorubas around generally have a higher tendency of sticking to the traditional methods of cooking their meals/soups, the reason it seems like there's no varieties to the efo riro I asked you about. But you can actually garnish efo riro with other condiments and according to your tastes, whether it's turkey you want to add or beef, goat meat, chicken, fish etc. I've actually eaten efo riro with cooked with all of the above several times o. I remembered the day my friend and I, prepared efo riro at the corper's lodge at Udi. We became demigods among them that day and till the rest of our service year. grin
