Efemena_xy: I can't help it!

But there's a picture forming in my mind here:

Mr & Mrs Kulyie Maclatunji having a long drawn out argument over the missing pieces of meat from the pot!

~ Mr Mac is adamant there were X pieces of meat in the pot of soup before leaving for work this morning...

~ Mrs Kulyie insists there were (X - Y) pieces of meat in the soup pot this morning...

~ Whom shall we believe? The story continues...

LOL, if I catch you ehn!

I personally would look at it from an indiscipline point.

When we were growing up We were made to eat meat last. And my sister who would first eat her meat would always be scolded.

When I cook most times, I dont even taste it till its done

By the time you finally taste it, then you realise, the salt is either too much or not enough....

Is in itself a comment. My sixth sense says you are guilty of the "offence ",

no be her fault. it is the fault of globalization and western influence/civilization . after seeing those bombarded steak and Ribs bill board, how could you tell someone not to as much as they like?

those days of no meat till you finish your food, or not having meat at all is long gone.

it all boils down to what they call long throat

now goat meat dey hungry me

Mr & Mrs Kulyie Maclatunji having a long drawn out argument over the missing pieces of meat from the pot!

at this rate, they will both people will start utilizing their camera phones to snap the positions and locations of each piece of meat in the pot. Counting the meat will no longer suffice.

woe betide any unauthorized shift in the soup geography.

kulyie: theres no big deal in food,food is nothing

thank you oh. How many times does one even eat meat sef- most times I can get tired merely seeing the stuff.


even though i had times growing up when we couldnt even afford meat, why call in the military because someone wants to eat the same?

it helped cos durin my teenage yrs guys takin me to eatry wasnt a big deal to me compared to my mates then.

thank you?

wots so special in meat sef,isnt it 4 consumption

please help me ask o.

ironically my partner is not a food person.he doesnt like eating dat much.meat,turkey,chicken fish doesnt even trip him.he can tel me to giv him a smal portion of rice n no meat.even wen i put 2 big chicken laps on rice,he doesnt finish eating one.

true, some men are like that. Some women as well.

for those complaining of housegirls shortening the household ration- if there isnt enough money buy other substitutes like ponmo, fish, chicken, etc. Chicken may be considered expensve as well (for everyday eating), but fish is plentiful in nigeria (at least it used to be).

Its even considered poor man's food back home whereas overseas it (fish) is very costly.


una no know the benefits wetin una get!

too much of meat is not good for you.
That is why ur partner cuts down on his consumption of them.
U should learn from him.
Dont just eat cos u like it. Eat healthy.

NOPE.
A good cook never uses the meat as a measure of how sweet her food is.
If u're cooking soup or stew for instance, taste a little bit of the food itself. The taste of the food is the same as the taste of the meat.
There is no excuse for finishing ur meat while cooking.
If you have to finish your meat before you get the correct taste of your food, then you don't know what u're cooking.

Wislet: NOPE.

How possible is it to use meat as a yardstick to know if the food is delicious or not??.....my post was directed to Dayokanu (WAS JUST PULLING HIS LEGS)...thank you for nothing ...i know my basics in the kitchen....if a woman chooses to finish her own meat while she is cooking, i don't know how it will affect others??, na her go carry her legs go buy another meat....abi will she borrow mine ??

You're speaking of apples and oranges.


The meat is typically cooked before being added to the stew.

Fish is what you can add without cooking it separately.

I get skills in many areas. Just come here and find out my core competences

The meat is boiled before adding to the stew to make it soft and chewable. You can also boil fish before adding to stew but its not compulsory because Fish is naturally softer than meat.

After boiling the meat its just bland, no pepper or oil on it. You would now add it to the stew and let it cook together

After the cooiking the taste of the meat and the stew would be equal

Tpia come and spend the rest of your summer with me and let me teach you some things. You would always cherish the experience.

^^^^Hope you are adding curry, thyme, maggi, salt, garlic and onions to that bland meat you are cooking first ...and not just putting it in water to boil..??. infact i add a little bit of ground-pepper....to give the meat it's own unique taste..

Thank God for the gift of children. There are certain things one stop because of them. That's just what I'll say oh. . .

^^^^^Ify....you don't know we have Wobias' ...i have an aunt like that, i love her oooo, but she weighs over 3oo pounds.....she calls her fatness "ora" ...and laughs with her teeth from ear to ear...meanwhile at a party or gathering she can dish over 10 pieces of meat.....and eat it all, i am not even kidding....imagine what she will be doing in her own kitchen. She will be living in the pot of soup....that is when they will wake up in the morning as early as 6.00am to eat eba or semovita.....because of the meat they will conveniently dish out for themselves...(talking about semovita, i am hungry, feel like cooking me a nice egusi soup with semo....)

Quit forming jare and come for IT(Industrail training) from me

i'm not sure the topic isnt being misinterpreted.

i personally do not know anyone who finishes a pot of meat while cooking.

the most the majority do, is taste some of the meat to find out if the seasoning is enough or if its done.

the op clearly opened the thread in response to the lady who reported her husband for eating food she cooked. (ie meat). She had issues with him wanting more meat like oliver twist, hence the problem.

now, imo, these types of things are what separate ajebutas from ajepakos, in nigeria. No offence- i'm an ajepako myself- but an ajebuta would typically be used to having an abundance of food in the house, as well as being full after meals.

if the worry (in the nigerian context) seems to be the person who asks for more food after a meal, or who snacks on meat in between meals/isnt satisfied with the portion he was served, will turn into an armed robber due to his insatiable greed and uncontrollable appetite, then i dont know if folks are speaking from experience, so i cant say for sure if this is true.

Correct babe.


Just remove the garlic & add a pinch of ground nutmeg instead.

in addition, i dont think this is the same thing as eating meat first or last during a meal.

totally different context.


the bone of contention here is people eating more than what's considered their fair share of meat.

eg the man getting 4 pieces instead of one or two, or the woman doing the same.

thereby shortening the rations of the other members of the household.

Now this is funny!

I don't like nutmeg....and ...my hubby loves garlic....
