K

thank you

lalasticlala. I'm so disappointed that you allowed a thread that addressed Ofe akwu as "Igbo version" of banga soup to grace front-page with same mischievous title. what a shame.

sassysure:
Don't mind me, I saw periwinkle and fisherman soup came to my mind

That's nice

OLDESTWARRIBOY:
This one dem dey carry food Mata dem com front page...nah to open Thread on how to Grind Igbo and wrap am with five rizzler o.


Which kind banga be this?
Abeg Hope everybody know say the Urhobos make the best banga soup ever...Argue with your keyboard

OP that mortal and im pikin just make me remember this Anambra man wey pound im pikin some weeks back

Urhobo eat their banga as soup with swallow while our ofe akwu is eaten as stew with rice and the preparations are totally different.

Bulldozer90:
you must be a very big fool by not taking corrections. Ofe akwu means palm stew, banga soup means palm soup. in Igbo Ofe means stew and soup.

HEY DAFTIE..

You don’t need to pound anything. Just boil till soft and use your hand to crush it and squeeze till the stuff comes out. I can never buy the extract. If it’s not fresh palm fruit, forget it. I cook Bangs though but will try this. Eat this soup once in a while though, it’s not too heart healthy.

Eulalia:
I don't have mortar o. Can I use blender for the banger?

Seems this is what I'll prepare for my bufday next month God willing.

Lmao!!! The blender will curse you. There are two other ways to extract the palm juice without mortar but both methods involve boiling the palm fruit to be softer than normal.

1. Put in a small paint bucket and pound with turning stick (the one used for garri)
2. Put in a small bucket and extract with your hands by gradually peeling them (this is why I said to boil softer than normal). Remember to sieve to prevent chaff from getting into the main extract.

Pocohantas, beautiful threads in the food section you've been creating. To add to this, some persons (like me) add okporoko and azu fridge. Assorted meat if you may. When cooking for the family, I add nchanwu and some 1.5mins later, add ugu and turn off the gas.

Wow @ first method. I think it easier that way.

Thanks so much.

Thanks!

Trying this out asap.

Food weekend

Pocohantas, ignore that broke ass J111333 and let me introduce you to my cousin who works in Saipem. He is looking for a wife who can cook very well and you are a good specimen

Ukwuani people don't cook their Banga like this. We cook our ofe nkpulekwu with gborogi (water leaf), ugu, bitterleaf, egusi or okro. We boil the palm kernel extract until the oil begins to float and then dunk every every inside.

which part of ukwuani are you bro

Girl wey de find husband no suppose dey rude. With this attitude you go soon enter menopause , grow old and die alone.

These rubbish biafra agitators will always want to soil everything with their immense stupidity.

IDENNAA:
There is something disturbingly wrong with both your reading and comprehension skills. Besides, I don't think you really understand what tribalism is. You are the archetypal SIMP!

Nwanna, ozugozie. Ka okwudibara echi.

Great tips
