My hate for Okra soup been no limit

Taste this one, you'll have a change of mind. Trust me.

Nekky5:
Hmm!! am wondering what bitter leaf is doing in an Okro soup? Anyways the thumbs up is in the taste shaa !!

You never tried draw soup with bitter leaf before? . You're missing Sis. Please try it but make sure you wash the bitter leaf very well o.

I usually boil my bitter leave with salt to reduce the bitter taste to the barest minimum. So all you get is a slight bitter taste that is not overpowering.

Try it with the following spices I listed, you go nearly chop your fingers " lol..

Zonefree:
You cook better than me? You that your foods always look like food for a violent god? You must be joking

Cook your own and post.

Please if you'll excuse me, I got other important things to attend to.

You can continue wailing.

Zonefree:
I'm thinking of teaching her how to cook but that girl get razor mouth. I'll leave her let her wallow in her poor cooking skill.

It's now I know you know nothing. Even with my low budget soups, I still cook better than you both put together. Your food can't stand the taste of my food even with your okporoko, mallam fish and all. Na salt salt the taste go end in. I can imagine.

No need arguing with you two.

Zonefree:
Ishi okporoko is just N250 or N300. The aroma it brings is glorious.

That thing that is full of maggot. Anyways, I didn't plan to use it in this soup.

Zonefree:
Mercychen is not yet married. I believe she will change her cooking pattern when she marry. How can a sane woman cook soup without stockfish?

Give me money for stock fish now.
Your mouth like stock fish.

By the way, not every recipe must have stock fish. I like the outcome of this soup. No much drama. No unecessary clashing of taste.

Bankright:
My love for Okra soup has no limit.

Bon-apetit then. .

Malory:
Your husband is really in bondage.

slickbak:

Opperwezen:
Why do you care about what the man sitting beside you thinks? You paid for the food and you are allowed to do whatever you want with it. Food photography is a career

I'm a very shy person o. I don't like people staring when I'm doing my thing. Again he was eating fried rice or so then me with my eba, I com dey do selfie. Lol... I just felt it was somehow though.

oz4real83:
If you know the cost of fish in the market, you will realise that the eatery was even fair with the price they sold it to you. The two "swallow" and the soup accounted for the remaining cost which I think is fair considering how Buhari and his gang killed this country, businesses are folding up while some are scaling down production due to high production cost. State govts have also stopped those welfare programmes like cheap mass transportation they use in ameliorating citizens' suffering because of high diesel cost. People and businesses are suffering in Nigeria.

Businesses are really folding up like seriously.
Of course, I know the fish is very expensive. Also considering the gas and ingredients used in preparing it. Hm..

It is well.

LogicBomb8:
Arrange ur pvc make dem no charge you 15k next yr

Its a must.

femi4:
Damn too expensive.... not even a complete fish

Complete ke... It's croacker fish o.

Richy4:

You consumed that big fish and you were not happy?.. or is it the positioning of the camera that made it long

It's actually the length. Its a bit big though.

VladimirPutiin:
What I used to get for 5k, yesterday I wanted to get it again I was told it’s now 8k.

Omo Buhari is an affliction

SMH... And it's not as if the income is increasing o. I'm just tired of the whole thing. .
The worst is, nothing is being done to curb this madness. It is well.

God1000:
just imagine, and you spent 1500k on that small food.

It's hunger sha, just make the soup tomorrow and enjoy it.

Yeah, by God's grace.

In this current economy? No even try am.

Chop your money for your belle before you begin fyn am. .

On a more serious note, nothing.

Abfinest007:
Nothing is cheap not everything is expensive.most product has reduce d quantity

Even electric shock now don use to shock as before .if u think I'm lying ask buhari ,when last did he use d word "shock

Lol my brother. Nothing is cheap o. I don't even know which one is making me vex self.

God1000:
abeg prepare your food at home oo, it saves a lot of money

My brother, it does. The soup I want to make tomorrow is not more than 2k including the lafun o. I already bought everything but couldn't cook it today because I was going for bible study.

God1000:
Things are really expensive nowadays, this small food for 1500 naira

I'm telling you. .

Abeg tomorrow, I'll make my food jeje.

Sorry for the blurry pics. My hand wasn't steady as I was snapping cos I didn't want the man sitting at one far end beside me to know I was taking shot of my food

Yep. So, I was not happy today and I was too tired to enter the kitchen so as I was strolling, I entered an eatery and got this for 1500. Though the man said it's 1600 but I told him it's too expensive and being a regular there ( just because of the fish), he told me to pay 1500.

At least this is better than the 1700 ogbono and semo I bought last time.

I'm still not happy. .

May God lead and guide her back home safely.

noble2faith:
