1. Does ugu really have a place on ofe-akwu, or does it contribute towards blandness in ofe akwu (and/or whatever other reasons you might have against ugu co-existing with nchuanwu in the same space)?

2. What’s this anya-azu vegetable I hear of (which I presume is a Delta-Igbo thang, but I could be wrong) sometimes being used in ofe-akwu? What does it even taste like?

The truth is, somehow, ugu takes away from the taste of ofe akwu.

The best leaves combo for ofe akwu are Nigerian curry leaves and nchuanwu.
Together, they give a depth of flavour and heavenly aroma.

Mr Berem said the correct name for Scentleaf is Basil

Native basil, yes. Not just any basil. African basil specifically.

Never heard of curry leaves in ofe-akwu, to be fair. Hmm. I’ll give it some thought.
