Back then, we had a freezer that was pretty solid. Once the foods were frozen, it could keep food frozen for 10 hours or so after they take light...not bad, because NEPA brings light at intervals. I remember the little prayer:
“God abeg, let NEPA no do us for more than 12 hours.” because after 12 hours, perishables start to, yunno...perish.

So one weekend, my mum stocked the freezer with serious egusi. This one was the deluxe kind of egusi: there was goat meat, shaki, fish, big beef chunks. All frozen tight and meant to feed us the whole week or more. She stocked it on a saturday. NEPA behaved. But on saturday night, they took the light and never brought it back before the 12 hour mark on sunday.

So we did the sensible (and slightly panicked) thing: we poured the pot, warmed it, and ate egusi with everything. Over the next three days we turned that egusi into every conceivable combo:

Egusi and eba.

Egusi and rice.

Egusi and bread.

My brother even suggested egusi with plantain. We said yes. That combo slaps, i won't even lie

My mom wasn't too happy about it, but it was one of my most memorable moments trying out different food combo.

So, what is the funniest or weirdest thing you’ve been made to eat?

Abeg, make una help me tag the mods

Apart from egusi and bread...

Non of the combinations seems weird to me.

Just you guys hadn't been creative enough to have tried them prior.

Your story to me just reflects the saying that necessity is the mother of invention.

Ofcourse you hadn't invented the combo... people eat egusi and rice/plantains. But it was new to you.

I can't think of any weird combinations I have had at the moment though!

You're right! Neccessity is truly the mother of invention. If i tell you the crazy food combos i had as an undergraduate, you'd be laughing a long time. I once made semovita like pap and used it to eat bread cos that was all i had.

Egusi and bread. WTF

White rice and okro soup is cool and very nutritious.
