Most foods Igbo people hype are considered DOG foods here!
I'm not even Igbo amigo. So anyone who doesn't like Amala is automatically not Yoruba? TF with this set of Nigerians. Tribalism have really eating deep at an alarming rate. Fyi, I'm full blooded Yoruba.

StUriah:
You have chronic peptic ulcer disease or gastritis. You are susceptible to heartburns. It is even likely that you are belching repeatedly, you may be farting uncontrollably.
Beware of milk, cheese, yam, garri, beans, hot pepper and dried pepper. Take more water before and after your meal.

If you want to drink garri, make sure you change the water like 3 times to reduce the level of its acidity.
Bro, I'm not an ulcer patient. My mum is a nurse and my fiancee is a doctor. I just react to garri that way. Funnily, I only react to garri in this manner as every other delicacy I ingest is yea and amen. Thanks for passing down knowledge though.

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
That yellow shitty gbegiri and that algae or Spirogyra called Ewedu is what I find disgusting!

Abula
Okpa
Abacha
Pizza
Avocado
Oatmeal (quite fair, but if I had other options, I won't go near it)
Burger
Shawarma( loads of calories in a wrap)




Let me also add coco pops to the list. Once soggy, it triggers my trypophobia.
Avocado is my favorite, pretty girls can easily sleep with me by giving me avocado, if she wants me to sleep over, then let her make goldenmorn for me, i go lick plate tire. Lol

Problem with opka is that most city people don't know what opka tastes like. What they give you is bean, opka, and maize flour mixed together and cooked with colored oil and seasoning.

When you eat original Enugu or Anambra opka prepared with native palm oil, body go tell you

Spaghetti.

Hate that stuff.
Cancelled it in my house.
Why would you cancel something because you don't like it.

Are you the default cook or allergic to it?

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.
If you are not omoluabi, you can never be omoluabi. Only a bastard in yoruba land will hate Amala and ewedu. Kindly go back to your region and enjoy whatever they are giving u there.

LifestyleTonite:
Why must one travel to Enugu before one can have a good Okpa? It shows Okpa has no level. One clown up there said it has to be prepared by an Enugu woman before it will taste good. That's a lie. The fact that it tastes bland elsewhere shows that it will also taste bland even in Enugu. Okpa is a poor man's food sold in traffic.
You chose to argue what you don't know.

The ewedu you would eat at east(even when prepared by Iya Ibadan) will not taste same as that at Ibadan.

Competition and originality are the reason. Because I know you would ask why

We don't all have same taste and cravings. What taste great in your buds may even irritate another's.
So no conclusion here.

The best food in the world. My life is incomplete without it bro.
I think it's because you weren't raised with it.
This sight of your pic alone made my day.

God bless you.
