The Best Way To Eat Yam by LocalBuka(op): 3:54am On Aug 07
A friend and I were talking about food when we somehow started debating the best way to eat yam.

She insisted that yam porridge wins because it is soft, filling, and already packed with flavour.

I disagreed. Give me boiled yam with a delicious plate of egg sauce, and I am happy.

But then we started talking about the sweetness of roasted yam and fried yam when they're paired with pepper sauce.

Now we cannot agree 😭

Maybe the answer depends on where you are and the food spots around you. With LocalBuka, you can discover restaurants and food spots nearby when you are in the mood to try something different.

So, let us settle this:

Boiled yam
Yam porridge
Roasted yam
Fried yam

Which one is the best way to enjoy yam?

Re: The Best Way To Eat Yam by UkoAnnang(m): 9:39pm On Aug 08
cool

I may go with number 2

I'm a traditional Annang man and how I eat my yam better; I boil the yam, pound pepper and scent leaf together, pour it in a plate with fresh palm oil and marsh it down with the yam or I make it pepper soup with goat meat
Re: The Best Way To Eat Yam by saintmm(m): 9:39pm On Aug 08
Well though not a fan of yam.
I've been going for years without it.

any of the above is ok, but boiled yam with garden egg sauce containing mashed steamed fish. A simple balanced diet
Re: The Best Way To Eat Yam by Obapluto: 9:40pm On Aug 08
