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's to tell you that almost everybody fell for the hype.

I personally know guys that hate Egusi taste.

Egusi is extremely over hyped .

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.

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
You want to taste Okpata and it is the one from Suleja?🤔

You should understand that they're tribalizing it. If not , why would they say one of the best Yoruba food if not the best sef looks scary , looks this, looks that, trust those Igbo guys Na. They will never stop hating anything that has to do with Yoruba. I hope this country can survive this silent war between Igbo and other tribes especially Yoruba by the time it become obviously loud.

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.
Although I am not the original quote, but you just summarised my symptoms. However, my condition is called Gerd. My major problem is that all that you listed are my favourite foods or condiments. I wish I have alternatives sad

Why would you cancel something because you don't like it.

Are you the default cook or allergic to it?

Noodles advert
Noodles have come to stay.
Besides, when you make noodles as balanced meal, it's even better than our rice. Nigerians don't go that way cos it's expensive to make a meal you will finish immediately without left over. Where we get the money. We are yet to know what the poverty capital of the world means. An average Nigerian can't afford good quality food

ReacherSaidNoth:
Banga and starch with fresh fish is the GOAT
I made this banga soup like 2 yrs ago.
Followed what the cook said on youtube. She is a delta woman. Used all she used but I no feel am at all. That was the first and last time I made it.

As for the starch, I just don't like the look. Maybe, I need to eat it in a restaurant. The taste might be diff.

SmartyPants:
Enugu is the only place I've had okpa, and it was alright, but the way people describe it - just like you have- doesn't match the reality. But then taste is subjective and not worth debating.
People pick okpa cos it has high protein content. Doesn't make your stomach bloat or you rushing to the toilet and you can practically cook it with nothing.
If you don't like the flavour, you will definitely not enjoy it.

I prefer it to moimoi.
I also prefer anambra okpa to Enugu okpa. Anambra add more stuff in it and use palm oil concentrate. The taste is so diff. Haven't eaten that since donkey years. Enugu okpa just full everywhere.

pansophist:
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.
Thank you.
I did one course in the uni on health inequalities across the globe focusing on nutrition.
It was so shocking that pizza, fries and burger are food mass produced for plantation workers and the homeless then. In developed countries, you will never see a rich man eating any of these. They eat healthy cooked food. In Nigeria, it's the opposite. The rich patronise these junk foods.

It's the culture of accepting everything the west sell to you.

South korea,China, all these south east Asian countries celebrities are trying hard to promote them but the people still don't accept them.

AguluLiar:
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
The most popular food in Nigeria is rice, followed by yam,then beans.
These are food you can see in every household across Nigeria with ease. Core north don't eat swallow except tuwo. Some don't even know what amala or akpu means.

Although, many foods are overrated, however, it depends on which part of the country you're from; and or if you are a foodie.
For me, I eat most foods simpy because I hate repeating same foods all the time.

Amala is great, if well prepared and accompanied with nice soup, trust me.
