And who forced you to eat it? Eat your tribe's food and keep quiet.

Some of you just like making unnecessary statements... 😒
You know what’s funny with all these tribalistic people
Even white people will see their food and call it disgusting
People should just embrace tolerance or stay in their lane rather than spewing jealousy or looking down on other peoples culture
There are other things they eat people from other cultures would find disgusting
Different people with different taste buds
The most tolerant people are the most progressive
It just baffles me how people come online with limited knowledge to start bashing other cultures

You've said it all... Nobody cares about their opinions anyways.

You don't like Yoruba food- your problem! Eat your tribe's food, wherever you're from. End of story.

I'll keep updating as I remember

There are so many Yoruba indigenous delicacies that's going into extinction because most of the family barely cook them aside the known/common ones.

This is why some believe Yorubas doesn't have food that much which is wrong.

I wish I can be cooking them as my mum do cook for us when we're still young.

Mon nu ==== it is made from egusi, it will be firstly dried before ground like you do to bean in making Olele.

Sapala === This is also inform of moin, moin or Olele, but is made of corn 🌽 or agbado.

I think Mon nu is a variation of Olele, yes, it includes egusi and ewa with other moi moi ingredients. Instead of using palm or ground nut oil. The oil in the egusi lubricate the beans.

Another one, Abaari. Made of corn, prepared like moi moi.
Furthermore, Dẹẹlẹ. Beans and okra with other bells and whistles, fried like Ankara.
OP, thank you for bringing back wonderful memories.
