Which Food Is Overrated But Nobody Wants To Admit It? by LocalBuka(op): 8:41am On Jun 25
I'll start.

Pizza.

Before you people attack me, I like it o

But sometimes the way people talk about pizza will make you think each slice comes with salvation.

It's just fancy bread with toppings doing shakara.

Meanwhile one good plate of rice and stew will satisfy you and you won't even spend so much.

Anyways, I understand that every popular food has people that will overhype it.

So which food do you think is overrated but people are not ready for that conversation?

Let's hear it.

Please don't bite me😂

I'm a lover of food and generally i dont think any food is overhyped,it usually depends on your favourite food and it's OK to overhype your favourite food.

Re: Which Food Is Overrated But Nobody Wants To Admit It? by deebrain(m): 11:33am On Jun 26
That thing they call "Shawarma".

Longer throat led me to it. I've been hearing it from literally everywhere.

My wife bought some so I decided to order too.

I regretted it ever since.

Who dared mentioned Ankara and corn.
I ate corn yesterday and I was crying with joy.
Each bite explain itself. It was later when I asked the lady that shared it with me where she bought it that she told me it is called sweet corn used for salad.
If you have not eaten this corn, don't call agbado corn.

As for Akara, it's food for the gods. If your ancestors are not gods, you are eating it in vain. I rep my ancestors by eating it at least 9 times a week.

That thing called NSALA SOUP!
Re: Which Food Is Overrated But Nobody Wants To Admit It? by koladata(m): 11:38am On Jun 26
Pizza is nice if you eat it outside Nigeria. The fact that its not our indigenous food, I've noticed they usually don't prepare it well here.

Its just like trying to eat egunsi soup prepared by a Chinese man in the UK.

What the hell is our business with foreign food like Pizza? Even if you want to talk about food you are talking about Pizza of all foods.

Mattswaggz:
Abacha
Ewedu

These are the ones I can remember for now.
I can understand ewedu but not abacha

Jesus, man... your taste buds need to be checked. Either that or you are being eating it from someone who does not know how to prepare it and they are many

Abacha is actually native to enugu state. If you haven't eaten it there you have not eaten it at all


Same thing with okpa. It is an Igbo snack made and wrapped in banana leaves by Igbo people. If you eat that thing on the streets of Igbo land you will know that all the people cooking it outside the east I just patching

I am from Imo State so when I tell you about a belongs to enugu I am telling you the truth

I grew up in Lagos but you see moi moi.. no tribe cooks it better than Yoruba
