Achicha is an Enugu delicacy and not limited to only Nsukka.
That It's Nsukka food dosnt mean its eaten only in Nsukka naa,haba grin Nsukka attached to it is where it originated from, just like tuo is referred to as Hausa food or afang soup as a Calabar soup. All through my stay at Awka, i always see my Anambra friends buying it, especially around that Regina junction side, that road going to the Cathedral but all of them still refer to it as Nsukka food . But they don't add pomo like this one shaa
ooo grin

the english name is pigeon pea and not fio-fio. Nsukka people call it agbugbu. It is only aku people( igbo- etiti lga) that call it mgbugbu

Hi guys i got tired of eating rice every sunday and decided to make this nsuka local native delicacy, note am not from nsuka but i learnt how to cook it from my nsuka babe, the delicacy is called Ashisha if i got the spellings correct. Its very delicious

This is called Achicha (Echicha in Nsukka dialect).

There is Ayaraya oka, Ibangwu, Ohonyi soup, Agbugbu, Okpa, etc.

Forget Nsukka has food.
Re: Made This Nsukka Local Delicacy Today! by harmony75: 4:50am On Aug 23, 2022
Nice yummy � but you cook without showing the ingredients or how you prepared it, we're of different tribes here you don't know who will want to try it... Please give us the recipe.

This is achicha na made from dried ede cocoyam very delicious if you try use brown beans eat am you go understand, please the food it's not native to nsukka I think the whole of Enugu cooks that food , my village ezeagu it's even a native food there because my grandma is the one that prepares it very well just say Enugu State food not nsukka abeg. Many towns in enugu eats achicha very well

There are other Igbo dialects, you know?
the name is achicha or achicha ede

It has never been ashisha no dialect in this one


The food is widely known among the people Enugu and Nsukka people


I learnt it from them before I realised some part of Anambra also cook it but calls it achicha ede

If you heard ashisha from someone it's the person's personal tongue....Igbo izugbe (General Igbo) spells it ACHICHA some just calls it FIO FIO because they don't know the name and the know is there is FIO FIO inside

There is this joint in town where we go for better point and kill.

One day, I met one of our wicked lecturers there grin
I pretended I was sick and took off cheesy
Make the man no mark my face.

Avoiding confrontation with those beasts is the beginning of wisdom in that school.
No matter your level, they will humble you.
