Lol i wanna ask a silly question but I've often wondered. To the experienced mum..how does breast milk taste like.. is it sweet and creamy like animal's own?

Naa, it's not sweet like animal's own. Just has sweet taste. You can taste it when you have your baby. I did .

Good evening mamas.

Porting from pregnancy thread.

please does anyone know a remedy for constipation? cos that's what I'm battling with now, and it hasn't been easy cos of my stitches.

Sorry dear.
Eat pawpaw or garden egg last thing at night, you might have to rush to the loo before day breaks. Also increase your veggy and water intake. Sorry once again.

Orbie11, your boy is cute. Kisses to him, may he always make you proud.

How is your dh? Sorry this is coming late but better late than never. I chewed plenty onions (heard garlic works too), then I was taken to the clinic and was given injection shots. My hand was swollen for some days and very painful. I just kept on taken diclofenac. Sorry to your dh.

FloraEC:
Thanks ma'am, the only thing I know is to wolf it down anytime she prepares it. Funny enough she's not from crossriver but was born and brought up there. Confirm Anambra woman

The first time I ate that soup was when I visited my big bro when he was still a bachelor (he schooled in Calabar) and he made the soup. Omo, I made sure the soup finished before I left his house. Him use cane start pursue me go back to my papa house sef .

babylove01:
Na wa o, nobody answered me. Okay o, lemme come and be going.

Sis, I don't know the englis name oo. I sha know that it is gotten from Palm fruit. That bunch that houses palm fruit, you burn it. The ash gotten is ngu/ngo.

FloraEC:
Thanks dear. Awaiting crossriver food. There's this calabar soup my aunt cooks ehh, after eating it I'll licking fingers. She use something like that with hard shell but when you suck it, you'll suck something from it(don't laugh me biko). She also adds ukazi and snail to it

That should be periwinkle (isam). It should be edikankong or afang (spelling). I always mistake both.

FloraEC:
I think is nutmeg seed

Will check and confirm. Thankchu.

soonest:
Ok if you can look up floraEC recipe for oha soup It's basically the same thing. Only that there won't be uziza and oha instead you put your well washed bitterleaf. Bitterleaf washed the igbo way i.e no shreding, the leaves will be long long.
For finger licking ofe onugbu, use ede (cocoyam) as thickner instead of achi, ofo or ukpo and of course with adequate ogili igbo, the smellier the better.

Nne you are there at bolded.

Our SE mamas have done justice to soups. There is one food (I call it snacks) that I don't get tired of. Snail nkwobi.

Ingredients:
Snail (use any amount you want), ground fresh pepper, salt, knorr cube (I prefer this to all other seasonings), bitter leaf/utazi, stockfish (optional), ngu (I prefer this cos it's not harmful to anyone), palm oil, crayfish enough.

Cooking Method:
-Wash your snail thoroughly until it doesn't have that slimy texture (I prefer using garri though this method consumes more time. Alum makes the snail to be too soft if I refrigerate it and want to warm it later. It is usually softer than the one I used garri in washing.

- put the snail on fire with little water, add your ground fresh pepper (I don't eat pepper, but this is one dish I love to add plenty pepper, I make sure I keep water close to me while eating it, my dh complains but he can't seem to drop the meal ), salt to taste, knorr to taste, ground crayfish, stockfish (if it is the head, you don't need to boil separately as it gets cooked easily but if it is the body you plan on using, please cook it very well first before the snail and allow to boil until you are satisfied with the snail texture (no go chop your snail finish ooo, ehen). Ensure you keep checking the water level so that you don't have a burnt snail as a finished product. When it's cooked, you add your sliced bitter leaf if that is your choice of vegetable, but if it is utazi, no need to cook it, you get to add it after mixing with you ngu. If you are using bitter leaf (as in the leaf, not the washed one), use small quantity like a leaf or two depending on the quantity of your snail but if you are using utazi leaf, you can add as much as you want.

-get a bowl or mortar, add little water to your ngu and drain (I prefer using handkerchief cos ngu most times come with sand and it is only handkerchief that I know can give me ngu water without sand) into the bowl or mortar, after which you add palm oil little by little while stirring the ngu until you get the kind of thickness you want (I prefer mine to be a little bit watery), then you pour your cooked snail with all the mendemende inside and turn it very well.

Serve with any chilled drink of your fancy.

Sleep is catching me, forgive all typos please.

Modified- I talk am say sleep dey my eye and I dey forget something. There is what we call ehuru when I wake I will browse the English name and modify (modified, ehuru in Igbo, African nutmeg in English, ariwo in yoruba, Gujiya dan miya in Hausa), I add it too. The flavour is heavenly. Onions ooo, plenty onions, add when cooking the snail and also after mixing with ngu. If you don't like eating raw onions cos of the smell, you can just add all in the snail while cooking. God help me .
