The love I have for three leaf yam is unquantifiable...

It is called Esuru in some dialect ,I hate this nonsense yam until my mum made me to enjoy one.

According to a friend of mine from South, he claimed that once you give him Anem then half of his problems are solved..

I can dash you my phone for a portion of this because of it sweetness but it's been years I ate it.

I really miss home .
What do you call it in your dialect ? Do you enjoy eating it too?

Ona... Chop this thing with ugba and fresh pepper, all your sins will be forgiven

No, na why pesin wey Dy pound yam no give a fhk about Èsúurú (Èsúrú)

Sorry oh.. is like the Èsúurú is too hard to pound or is too local to turn to swallow or because it has a little bit of sour taste ...

Re: What Do You Call This Food In Your Dialect by mignone(f): 6:25am On Oct 25, 2023

balingaonline:
Thanks for this explanation, I only know Èsúrú, I don't know Anomo and Kukunduku are also esuru.

Getting mixed up...
The post u quoted talks abt two similar tubers.

This particular topic is on "èsúrú"

While

"Ànàmá, ọdùnkún, kukundukun" all refer to sweet potatoes in different Yoruba dialects.

Esuru, gone are those days when my father will roast this yam species in the farm with red palm oil and salt, a little bitter but becomes sweet at the second bite, very succulent and nutritious. I miss home,miss my culture,miss my tribe. Nigeria has happened to my culture.
