Interviewed Abuja residents have expressed mixed feelings over food cooked with firewood when compared with food cooked with gas.

So, we want everyone input on this topic on which type of cooking methods does he/she loved his food to be cooked and why?

The residents in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) said the use of firewood was old-fashioned and there was no need for comparison.

While some believed that food cooked with firewood tasted better.

Emmanuel Ogbonna, a trader, said that he preferred to cook food with gas because it was more hygienic and had no smell of smoke.

“I personally prefer food cooked with gas, because when you cook with firewood, you can feel the taste of smoke when you eat the food and I do not like it,” he said.


Another resident, Ibrahim Musa, a civil servant, said he used gas for cooking and was comfortable with it.

“ If you are eating food cooked with gas, it tastes nice because there’s no taste or smell of smoke,” he said.

Mrs Veronica Akpan, a banker, said although she enjoyed food cooked with firewood because it had a special taste, she preferred using gas, because it’s stress-free.


”You can’t compare the taste of food cooked with firewood to gas, because, cooking with firewood gives a special taste to your food.

”But one cannot continue like that because of the stress involved, using gas is stress-free and the smoke from firewood affects the eyes,” she noted.

Mohammed Sani, a businessman, said that food cooked with firewood tasted better, adding that there was no need for comparison.

“You cannot compare them, because firewood-made food tastes better, the smoke makes the food more delicious, so you cannot even compare them.

”If I have my way, I will want my wife to be cooking my food with firewood but you know women of today, she will tell me it is archaic,” he said.

Mrs Ugochi Okigbe, a trader, however, said that the world had moved beyond firewood, so cooking with it was irrelevant.

”When we have innovation every day, no point going back in time.

“Before, we cooked with firewood and we enjoyed it, but when gas came into the picture, we all ran away from food cooked with firewood and started complaining about the smoke,” she said. (NAN)

It's a myth ... It all depends on the chef

You can’t compare the taste of food cooked with firewood to gas, because, cooking with firewood gives a special taste to your food.

The same way they want us to believe that soup made from pepper using local grinding stone tastes better.

In Olamide's voice;

Poverty die! die! die!

onyejack:
you never know anything

What do you mean? I'm a guy & I can use the grinding stone better than most females would do because I grew up in a local environment. Saying it makes soup/stew tastes better is just like sugarcoating a pill.

BS.

No wonder they've been on one spot for decades.

funny question

It's only poverty mentality will make people have this kind of thought

I don’t understand how food that smells of smoke would taste better than one without smoke.

Guys stop lying to yourselves

Lol

I think it depends on which you grow up eating. But na firewood dey sweet pass to me sha. The best cook na those street cooks.

But firewood cooking can be very stressful and unhealthy, even our mama cooks are now embracing gas to reduce stress.

Ok

Firewood tastes more better but life is dynamic, so we move. Gas is preferable now

nah food wey dey firewood dem use train us.. especially that local pot(Kokori), that's why most parties nah firewood dem dey use cook their jollof rice , meat etc.. food cooked on gas cylinder look as if the gas have eradicated the flavour..

Just give me food wey sweet. I no care where you cook am. If you like cook am for oven.

Na fire wood jari

I no know o.

Wetin I know be say party jollof rice dey sweet pass and smell differently from one cooked at home.

Firewood o

Bad cook be comparing means.

So I will live in a duplex or block of flat and be trying to cook with firewood.

Memories

Food cooked with firewood taste better until you develop eye problem due to smoke!

Firewood by a wide and high margin.

Gas does not replicate that firewoody taste, specially for things like jollof rice.

Fire wood madt eh, But we get time for stress.

Hehehehehehe

@ op, fire na fire. No difference jare

Firewood

Food Na food.

I don’t have time to waste cooking with firewood.

Depends on the chef sha
