That would be Ewedu.. (No disrespect to my SW brothers and sisters)

My ex so over hyped it any time we talk on the phone... So, I decided to try it out. She invited me to their house so I can confirm the hype.

Her mom has already prepared it before my coming, so it was straight to the dinning table.

Amala was very smooth, as it slides it's way down my throat, but the soup, just didn't see the hype. Na the many meat wey surround the soup I just deal with.

But their “Ewa Goyin” is world class and deserves all the hype
There is nothing special about ewedu. It is the combination of ewedu, gbegiri and nicely prepared stew that is glorious. Ewedu is just one play soup, though it is highly medicinal.

It's a CHOICE thing. Ewedu is EVERYTHING to some people. Am a Yoruba boy but can eat Ogbono soup all year round. I have an urhobo friend who doesnt even like the sight of the soup. Seeing it makes him feel like vomiting.

any draw soup
My brother. I wanted to force myself to like okra but na lie, if e draw e no sweet. Igbono oo, ewedu oo okra oo all are tasteless. When I eat them all I taste is the seasoning used (salt and Maggi) but the soup I can say they taste a particular way.

Is it the taste or the sight?
I don't know about the sight but for the taste, the best way to enjoy amala is to eat it with gbegiri (bean soup) & ewedu.

I hate Turkey undecided

The taste and price is just too overrated and overhyped. undecided

Literally everyone I tell says something banal like, "You just haven't had it cooked properly!" Bla bla bla.… Chicken is the best.

If I cook with chicken it’s give me this natural lovely delicious chicken flavor taste and aroma but if I cook with Turkey it gives me 0 taste 0 flavor and 0 aroma. Nothing!! Nothing!! Nothing!!
Totally agree. And Turkey has so much bone, you'll be struggling to find the meat and wondering what the fuss is all about.

I understand what you mean.
Turkey can be stingy with releasing its flavour into food. cheesy
Use onion powder to cook it first. It brings out the flavor. Although, I don’t like turkey.
