Nairalanders, abeg, what's the English name of moimoi?

Bean pudding.

Any gift for me?

Must it have an english name? Spaghetti, burrito, Pizza e.t.c are non english names of foods that have been accepted in English parlance. Why not just let Moi-Moi be the way it is? Must we find an english alternative name for it and diminish it's Nigerian identity?

Moi-Moi is Moi Moi.... it is a Nigerian Meal, not a western food.
Simple!!

Bean pudding

Tosdam:
In what language is 'moimoi' coined because Yoruba refers to it as 'oole'...

Abi!! Must we Westernise everything?! We should learn to keep our Identity

Tosdam:
You Confidently get it wrong. Bean cake is Akara...

Bean bread?

Left for me, it's even moi moi that qualifies to be called bean cake cuz it follows similar processes/procedures with normal flour cake when compared to akara. Akara falls in the category of fries, so I wonder what the person that named it bean cake was smoking when s/he brought up that name..

Random Question: Why must all Nigerian foods have an English name? Can't we be proud of the names they already have

Moi moi - Cooked bean cake
Akara - fried bean cake
