If I don't know any other Nigerian food, I certainly know those two soups...
I grew up eating both of those soups...so I'm very familiar with them

Mobilia:

Lol..it's no problem. I'm trying to learn Pidgin..
Yes we can continue...

gees101:

Ummm...well I'm working on it...lol.
That was what I was telling someone a little while ago that I wanted to keep working on making those soups just right cause my dad is picky when it comes to those two soups.
I actually never made either one of them growing up..my mom did.
I normally conquer any dish I decide to make...but dealing with Nigerian food is a little different for me.
I wasn't able to have it for Father's Day but I'm working towards making it for my dad's birthday coming up in a few months....

It's just very unique to me...
Thanks sir...I would love that.

Well let me be brutally honest here....
I didn't want to learn how to cook it...
The majority of meals we ate growing up...were American dishes...and that was good enough for me.
So those dishes I learned....but the Nigerian dishes I just didn't really see a need to.
Plus my mother had perfected the soups so well (and my dad was happy with it), that I didn't want to try to make them.

Yeah...I've got time to get this right...and I will get this right.
He will be so happy!
I love cooking...just a little less confident on the soups.
Which soup do you think I should make?
I'm gonna have to travel to another city to get the ingredients....cause no store sells them where I live.
Or actually one of my sisters lives in a city that has the ingredients I would need (like egusi seeds --if I do Egusi or pounded yam for the fufu or bitterleaf etc.,)
Yeah, I'll look into the apps or YouTube also...
I'm excited...
I think I'll post the pics on my diary!

gees101:
