Anyone ever had veal oxtail? Is it as good as beef?

Kobojunkie:
Are those akara?

Mariangeles:
No. They're puff-puff.

Kobojunkie:
The shapes.... a bit un-puff-puffy - is what threw me off there.

Na because na akara.

Kobojunkie:
So na akara?

What is ojojo made of?

Mariangeles:
Yes.
Water yam. It's kinda like akara.
I like it ehn...

Halcyon123:
What you do is get you kabewa,peel and remove the seeds and cook it.
When us ready,add it to you tomatoes, pepper and tattashe and grind. If your using bones for it,just pour you blended kebewa and tomatoes to the boiled bones and stock and allow to simmer. Next add you veges. You don't really need groundnuts for the soup but you can add a little if you want.

Kobojunkie:
Oh OK!

I have has it only on one or two occasions , i believe. It is cruchier than akara and has a mild sweetness to it. It is not common though, or at least it wasn't back when I was growing up.

Mariangeles:
Thing is, it's quite tedious to make.
You'd have to grate the slippery water yam, but it's so worth it.
The first day I bought and tasted it, I so loved it.
Then, I made mine and had it to my fill.

Kobojunkie:
Blending it at Topspeed in your average blender won't achieve the same?

I am yet to find water yam in the stores around me. I for try am.

Mariangeles:
I tried it one time and I didn't like it at all.
I had to throw it away.

Grating the water yam makes it slimy and adds air to it, which makes it light and crunchy when you fry.

Kobojunkie:
Do you have one of those blenders with "grate" mode? That should do pretty much the same thing.

Mariangeles:
Kobo, some things are better done the traditional way to get the traditional result.

Kobojunkie:
That said the same thing about pounded yam and amala but we all know that ain't the truth.

Mariangeles:
Fluffy. Nice.

Cousin9999:


Next time, have it with hash browns. So good.

Mariangeles:
Like I said Kobo some things are better done the traditional way to get the traditional result.

loveymom:
Aww sorry nne, so no warranty on it?

Kobojunkie:
Are those akara?

Is kabewa not pumpkin? You hardly find that thing in the market, and if you do, it's so huge you can't finish it. Is there any way to preserve it?
