Port Harcourt Hosts Garri Fest As Giant Drum Of Soaked Garri Takes Centre Stage by Glimpsetv(op): 12:10am On Oct 06
Garri Fest brought food, music, games and Nigerian culture to life in Port Harcourt, with one local favourite taking centre stage — garri.

The highlight of the event was a massive serving of premium soaked garri.

Large quantities of white and yellow garri were poured into a huge drum, followed by bottles of drinks, plenty of groundnuts, sugar and milk. Everything was then mixed together with long wooden paddles as the crowd watched the giant bowl of garri come together.

And just to be clear, this was pure soaking — no cooking involved.

Once the mixture was ready, people served the finished garri into cups and got to taste it for themselves.

It was a simple but memorable celebration of one of Nigeria’s favourite foods, bringing together food, fun and culture in one big gathering.

tinubu should be striped off the CGFR title and given to Garri.

Garri has touched much more Nigerian lives than that 1d10t in Aso bunker.

The companies which make profit off all these events are alcohol brands. Any gathering of people in this side of the world brings out drinks even when unneeded.

Thank you for this observation. I was asking myself, is there need for alcohol in garium sulphate? I will pass this.

Wouldn't it be better to donate bags of Garri to the less privileged? A lot of the Garri would be wasted at the so called ''festival''
We are now desperately celebrating foolish ideas things in this country

Why add alcohol to Garri fggs
Re: Port Harcourt Hosts Garri Fest As Giant Drum Of Soaked Garri Takes Centre Stage by Lovelydaisies: 10:15am On Oct 06
But what is that alcoholic cream doing there now nowww? What's the health benefit of such a combo? Garri and milk, groundnuts and sugar/honey is already fantastic. Now, why the cream in the mix? Why we dey like to play with our health like this?

Not against alcohol but it doesn't feel right adding it to the mix.

Anyway, I'm no health expert but they should enjoy their celebration wisely.
