I agree, I don’t get the hype around afang/okazi. It has a nasty aftertaste. I remember being confused after trying it, I was wondering if the person prepared it wrongly for this famous soup to be tasting so strange.

Garri with milk, sugar, kuli kuli, or coconut and chilled water after a hot day in the sun is better than good a sex.

Eba is not my thing, but I still respect it because it is made from garri.

Abacha that overhyped tasteless trash to call it African salad is a disservice to the real vegetable Salad and to think it was even very expensive? Had to buy it the 2nd time thinking the first Seller wasn't good at making still the same trash I don't get the Hype!!

Hot Dog can't get over the rubber like elastic taste

Igbemo Ekiti local rice the Aroma supercedes the taste very Rice wey no dey sweet its just like the aroma from Bakery and the actual taste of Bread

Ewa agoyin upon all the hype I was disappointed with the taste withe the stew tasting like agbo(herbal liquid)

I know that in these perilous times, it might be difficult to consider any food "overhyped".
I mean, Nigerians eat anything these days, but then, take yourself back to when there was abundance. cheesy
Oya, what was that food that you were like what was the fuss about after finally eating it? cheesy

Then, that wasn't authentic Ewa agoyin.

If you want to experience the real taste of Ewa agoyin, make sure you buy from the Togolese.

I've searched and searched for the original recipe of the ewa agoyin sauce on YouTube, I'm yet to find it.
What Nigerians make and call it ewa agoyin sauce is not it.
Some even add crayfish and seasoning in theirs. Imagine! πŸ™„

No drink.

Just give it some respect. grin grin grin grin grin

Like not mentioning it in a thread like this, even though you don't rate it.

I know I shouldn't have; garri is way better, but sex is the closest thing that I could compare it to, not just sex though; only good ones.

You rarely eat swallow? Like all types of swallow?

Food and sex are different issues sha.

That would be Ewedu.. (No disrespect to my SW brothers and sisters)

My ex so over hyped it any time we talk on the phone... So, I decided to try it out. She invited me to their house so I can confirm the hype.

Her mom has already prepared it before my coming, so it was straight to the dinning table.

Amala was very smooth, as it slides it's way down my throat, but the soup, just didn't see the hype. Na the many meat wey surround the soup I just deal with.

But their β€œEwa Goyin” is world class and deserves all the hype

That is the mistake many of you people make. Ewedu is not a soup, it’s just meant to complement whatever soup you prepare as well as making swallowing easy. It taste depends more on the soup you mix it with.

By the way, your ex mom may be a bad cook. Try a good Amala joint before you make your conclusion.
