No, it is not. To cut the argument short, prove it. Is "Garri" too a Yoruba invention, abi is it the hot water added to the garri to make eba that is the Yoruba invention?

Igbo’s call it Utara garri. Just like we also have Utara ji, Utara oka. Eba just happens to be Yoruba’s name for it and No, it’s not a Yoruba invention. I’m sure all the tribes in Southern Nigeria have their name for it

You're saying the same thing I was saying. The are claiming it is their invention because "eba" is a Yoruba name which is nonsense.

Yeah, I totally agree with you

JARUSHUB:
The best way to most people’s heart is via good food and entertainment. This is one thing the Yoruba tribe are very good at doing. Yorubas have a number of mouthwatering and finger licking meals that will leave you demanding for more. So, when you find yourself in any part of South West Nigeria where the Yorubas are populated, Jumia Food, Nigeria’s No 1 food ordering platform shares some cuisine to try.

1. Pounded yam and egusi soup

Pounded yam is mostly eaten with egusi (melon soup). Pounded yam is made by boiling yam unsalted and pounding it when it becomes soft. Ondo and Ekiti people are known to be fond of pounded yam.

2. Ewa aganyin

Ewa aganyin is made up of cooked beans and pepper sauce. It is a delicious beans dish, well-known for its softness and tasty sauce. You can eat Ewa Aganyin with bread to savour and appreciate the meal.

3. Adalu

Adalu is a combination of beans and corn, pepper and palm oil cooked together with seasoning and spices. It is quite delicious.

4. Moin Moin

Moin Moin is a Nigerian staple food which is very rich in protein. It is a cooked bean pudding made from a combination of grounded peeled beans, pepper, and onions. It can be eaten with rice, pap and bread.

5. Eba and efo riro

Eba serves as an alternative for pounded yam. People who do not want to go through the stress of pounding yam prefer eating Eba. Eba is usually taken with Efo Riro (Vegetable soup) which makes the meal more delicious and nutritious.

6. Amala, ewedu and gbegiri soup

Amala is made from yam into flour and Ewedu is a leaf blended into watery soup. This delicacy is a local dish of the Oyo state people. Amala is better enjoyed alongside Ewedu and Gbegiri.

Lazy Op, come and finish what you started oo! Every Yoruba subgroup has its own delicacies, so let me see if I can help out.

Ekuru, Iyan(pounded yam)and efo elegusi belong to Ondo and Ekiti

Eba, plain Egusi soup, Gari Soaking, Fufu, Eberipo elewe and Ikokore are Ijebu's. Egbo is food I grew up thinking is Ijebu's but now I can see it's eaten a lot in Ibadan too.

Godo/Eberipo(cocoyam) and obe didin for Remo

Lafu (white amala) Ewedu All Star & Eko, Ofada and Ayamase for Egba

Amala isu, Ewedu and Gbegiri for Oyo

Sokoyoto, Ila All Star, Eko and Eba for Awori.

Asaro, Moin Moin, Adalu, Egbo, Ewa-Agoyin. Apon, Gizdodo are all Yoruba.

Kwara and Kogi have Agbado and Rice meal, Oka is another word for Agbado but I don't think that's what it's called.

And of course Yoruba put J in Wollof rice.


Then comes the street food

Agbon nuggets
Guguru & Epa
Asun
Boli
Kokoro
Langbe(boiled corn)
Dodo
Puff puff
Bunz
Shin-Shin
Akara
Igbekere
Dodo ikire
Dundu
Ojojo
Robo(spicy Egusi snack)
Agbado yiyan
Ekuru
Adun
Jogi(roasted moin-moin)
Yilata squad(Igbin,Beef, Ponmo & Eja)

There are more but I can't remember their names, like fried batter made from fresh corn and sugar.

I think Yoruba have the most street food.

Argh! I'm hungry now!

An impressive thread on Yoruba regional foods and recipes... Also, historically, the internationally famous Ayamase stew recipe (green pepper stew recipe) was originally invented by a woman (Madam Felicia Adesina, born in 1924 in Ikenne, Remo in Ogun state).

=>https://www.feastafrique.com/hall-of-fame/aya-mase-iya-oniresi

Ayamase stew and Ofada stew are very similar but the major difference between the two stews is that Ayamase is made from green pepper, while Ofada stew is made from red pepper.

Yoruba have got several varieties of cooking food, soup and vegetables, considering the several varieties above. In fact, using IFA as timeline, In the old days when sick people are taken to the Awo, the first thing the person was asked was if he or she had eaten. If he's not eaten, several varieties of nutritional foods are prepared for him to eat before any other thing because it could be hunger/lack of food which got the person sick. Besides, one needs to eat food before taking medication. That's what some later term as aseje. The idea behind it was to ensure one had eaten food first before taking medication, considering most of the sick people were left at the Awo place in the old days. Same principles is employed in hospital today.

ycat:
Egusi is Yoruba's first before others burrowed it, that's why we have more than 7 ways to add Egusi to our food, not just in soup like the rest of you.

ycat:
They are actually pan African now, but that doesn't make them not to have origin.

Only Yoruba call Beans Ewa in Africa. Jollof rice is Senegalese and Egusi, Moin Moin, Akara, Eba are all Yoruba's first before it became other's.

Of course, Egusi is a Yoruba word which means "shred/grind to add" (Egu si). Yoruba has got several egusi varieties too. Even someone was asking if pounded yam was Yoruba cuisine. Lol. He's forgotten the fact that Yoruba have got name for it. It's called Iyan which has several varieties as a matter of fact. Iyan and Egusi are Ekiti and Ondo cuisine as a matter of fact. Most of the food that became popular cuisine today such as moimoi, akara, Iyan, egusi, ila, asun, ojojo etc are Yoruba cuisines.

However, some Awo who are not enlightened tend to confuse this term 'aseje' as something else while using it for otherwise/foolery to fool people 🙄 than the idea behind it. This shouldn't be so because the idea behind it was to ensure a patient eat first before taking medication. Same principles of eating first before medication is applied in the hospital today📌, so the aseje was only meant for such and not for some Awo to now take it the other way round. In fact, it's the same thing as someone who cooked his meal in his house to eat before taking medication or ate out before taking medication. Anyway, the Awo were part of what enabled Yoruba to have several cuisines 😂
