People hype some food a lot, meanwhile, such foods aren't worth such hype.

No disrespect to my brothers from the southwest, to me, Amala and ewedu remind the most overrated food. I see absolutely nothing spectacular about the food.
Starch and Ewedu

Don't mind him. He's kidding. I know you cannot leave amala alone. As a Yoruba muslim, you and amala and APC plus agbado are inseparable. Enjoy.

With all due respect, okpa.🥺
Me, I like a well cooked 9th mile Òkpa oo
Used to wait for them before going to lectures at UniZik..
Okpa imported from Enugu to Anambra, with all the tariffs to match. ..

9th Mile Okpa nko?. I think it's the best.

The consistency is different.
Wow!.That is good. I was once at Nsukka and the Okpa was so delicious.I need to taste the 9th Mile Okpa while travelling.

Nonsense thread! People will just keep mentioning food they hate. You can't ask about food people pretend to like because many people who eat them actually like them... How will mumu people know when people are pretending to like a particular foodhuh

I do not pretend to like these food, I really do like them:
Amala and Ewedu
Okpa
Abacha
Shawarma
Avocado
Pizza
Pringles

I like all of them.
Mumu people tongue

It has to be pizza.

Unhealthy, expensive, overhyped, and no difference than bread, except that it is massively advertised as something upper class.

Give me bread and beans with cold water, and to hell with pizza.
Pizza and shawarma are bread and protein...VERY OVERHYPED BY LESS INTELLIGENT PEOPLE. HOW ARE THEY NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT THIS IS JUST BREAD AND MEAThuh?

Y'all be eating okpa prepared by Gbagyi women 😂😂😂😂

By the time una eat okpa from enugu state, y'all will change your mind, okpa is a whole protein food, rich in vitamins and very tasty when prepared by an enugu woman, when it comes to Okpa, leave it to the Enugu women, nah their birth right 😎
I beg to disagree. I schooled in Enugu.

Whilst my fellow students hype about it, I later discovered that they liked it because of its filling tendencies.

N50 Okpa and one pure water and they won't be hungry till 6pm.

So I hopped on it and agrrrrrrrrrrrrrr😪

If I enter a bus and someone is eating Okpa or groundnuts inside the bus, I will come down. I hated their smells.

Omoo I can never understand that comb..... It's a very thin soup for mostly when one is ill.... At least with yam it goes since it actually acts as a lubricant to swallow ... But rice, it's just bland.... Nothin tasty
I don't like it at all

LMAO.. I've tried these foods metioned here and I can tell for a fact they seemed overrated initially until i got hooked. Amala nd okpa in particular.
Like you chew Amala

I wonder if it is the grammar or what. Who has ever hyped Okpa? How much is Okpa to start with.
Re: Mention The Most Overrated Food People Are Pretending To Enjoy by Love800(m): 11:51am On Apr 07, 2025
Is this how amala is made?
Kennyideal:
Àmàlà dis, Àmàlà dat.... Wetin Àmàlà do unahuh.... Its just the name thats chasing people away....

Peel your yams or Plantain..... Slice to pieces and dry......dry and dry....
Grind to powder, i mean powder, sieve to fine dust.....
Pour in hot water and stir, Àmàlà is ready.....

So why are people making it look like the Yorùbás have one secret ingredient in making Àmàlà....... The process is clean and easy to emulate by anyone... I am igbo and i love it so much

grin. I swear....so I'm not the only one who sees okpa as an overated food......

The first and only time I tasted it was way back in 2015 during my stay in Suleja,Niger state.....since then,I've not bought let alone tasted it again cuz it's not worth the hype at all angry
Come back after tasting original okpa from Nsukka. Not adulterated one o. I mean, the okpa made from pure okpa flour. Suleja okpa ke?

To me it is ukwa. What's the nutritional value?
Highly proteinous but I don't like it too.

Rice,garri,fufu, noodles etc largely those foods high in carbohydrates.Eating them in high quantities only helps to spike ones glucose level

You ate Okpa in Niger State and you thought you ate Okpa? I have ate Okpa in Niger State and it's not the same as the one I ate at Ninth Mile, Enugu State.

Take up the challenge to eat the Okpa made in Nsukka, Enugu state if you can and you will have a change of mind.

Re: Mention The Most Overrated Food People Are Pretending To Enjoy by AguluLiar:

I support you in this train of thought. I was scarred by the colour of Amala as a kid and ran from it like it's some plague. I still wonder less what people see on Amala and gbegiri. The gbegiri soup even looks like Se sacrifice to some lowbudget gods. Funnily, the way Ibadan people take this Amala as demigod is mortifying.
The most popular food in Nigeria today is Amala.
So many people who are not from the South West have adopted this menu.

That's why you are bitter because no food from your tribe is being consumed by outsiders

Amala and Ewedu! Jeezz!
You can’t eat Amala without meat and enjoy it poor man. Amala is eaten with assorted meat.

I bought the worst honey from Mbolo in 2018 with all the hypes on the eastern foods

I prefer eating from South South instead of easterners in this very present economy
