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😂

Pizza and shawarma so so overrated

Some people are mentioning abacha and Okpa as overated yet these foods are being hawked throughout the country. If they are not highly rated, they won't have such high demand and if they don't have high demand they won't be so common.

1. Efo riro.

2. Edikaikon.

They are not bad, but they leave you wondering, what's the noise about.

I sill haven't found anything under the sun that beats a well cooked egusi (not the white or watery type).

Eat a different recipe. The one in the north is heaven.
First cooked. Then sliced and dipped in raw egg and then fried in such oil. That recipe is peace of mind.

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.

If you say so... grin

Abacha was an appetiser to aid bowel movements and digestion while providing high fibre content but the educated people decided to garnish it and call it a delicacy. If you eat Abacha without eating proper food, you just wasted your time.

Fufu and red oil

Re: Which Food Is Overrated But Nobody Wants To Admit It? by WriterX(m): 12:02pm On Jun 26

The proposition that food can somehow be "overrated" is an intellectually untenable and physiologically incoherent assertion.

Nutritional requirements are not universally homogeneous; they are intrinsically contingent upon an individual's metabolism, health status, genetic predispositions, environmental conditions, occupational demands, and lifestyle choices.

What may appear superfluous or dispensable to one individual could constitute an indispensable dietary necessity for another.

Subjective preferences cannot supersede biological realities. Human nutritional needs exist along a vast spectrum, rendering blanket generalizations both reductionist and scientifically unsound.

The tendency to universalize personal dietary experiences reflects a profound misunderstanding of human physiological heterogeneity.

The age-old adage, "one man's meat is another man's poison," endures precisely because it encapsulates a fundamental truth about the diversity of human needs, tolerances, and circumstances.

Consequently, any attempt to trivialize or hierarchize food preferences based solely on personal anecdote is an exercise in intellectual myopia.
What nourishes one individual may be detrimental to another, and what appears excessive from one vantage point may be entirely justified from another. Such matters are far too nuanced to be adjudicated by simplistic personal opinion masquerading as objective fact.

Make nor body tag me, I dey inside school library with like five oxford dictionaries. grin

Pizza.

Too expensive, too much calories, unhealthy, junky, but somehow, it manage to convince eaters that it’s a statue symbol thing.

Also icecream, especially that one called stone cold lol

Slimy amala and algae looking ewedu

Not surprised where this is coming from. But lemme educate you:

Amala is the best among all swallows cuz it has the lowest calories and very rich in fiber..

Ewedu is like a naturally anti-biotics. It’s a natural immune booster. I knew about one man that doctor proscribed Ewedu for him. He’s to be drinking a glass cup of warm Ewedu early in the morning. If you have a doctor, ask further !
