SimeonOTC: All medications carry the risk of coming with side-effects, duh. Some can be treated directly but as for those that can’t, you either buckle down and deal with them if you can tolerate them or you look for something else. This business of side-effect this, side-effect that HAS to be weighed up against the benefits of medication and how well it works. Side-effects are often worth it, and you might not get them in the first place. |

Unfortunately edikang-ikong is the more popular option in most restaurants and it drives me crazy. When I’m craving afang I’m craving afang. Edikang is no substitute. |

Protriptyline = zero obstructive sleep apnea. Tricyclic antidepressants are used for all sorts of conditions beyond depression but they interestingly have a real place in the treatment of sleep disorders (and I’m not just talking about low-dose amitriptyline to help people sleep). That’s an option for anyone struggling with OSA. It mustn’t ever be a reason for you to die in your sleep, and I dey-talk that as someone who’s dealt with severe sleep-disorder in the past (albeit not the same type). 1 Like |

[quote author=PeachtreeReside post=128417037][/quote] The irony is Awka never used to really have a ting for ofe akwu. My mum’s mum never cooked it while she was alive and in general it was people who either had family in Nnewi or people who went to, like, uni./teaching college there who picked it up. With no Nnewi influence they weren’t really rolling with banga stew like that. By the way: 1. Anya-azu (local leaf; helps compliment nchuanwu, at least as far as this ofe akwu) 2. Coconut milk 3. Enough okpei (dawadawa) 4. Local onion bark + (if you must) red onion 5. Ose-Nsukka (yellow Cameroon-y pepper) 6. Ehuru/ehulu - aka Calabash nutmeg If you’re willing to give the ofe akwu game a go with your own cooking hands or at least pass it onto someone who can do it for you and source some of those grassroots ingredients (the ones that are grassroots, like the anya-azu), do so. If you can smoke some weed and get the munchies beforehand, even better. Either way, that’s heaven on a plate in the making. Egusi soup made with akwu (banga paste, sha) and okazi leaves is another … banga banger. I’m not even going to lie to you. Peng combo, let me tell you. 1 Like |

ibkayee: A lot of people sh*t on sushi but I feel like it just depends on how it’s made and whether the particular fish used is to your liking. And the thing is no marra how good a cook you are, someone somewhere is liable to complain about your food and not like it for whatever reason. If you don’t like salmon, you don’t like it, but that’s not the chef’s fault. With me, now, I can make a banging grouse stock (zero-skim) for ukwa or jollof rice or do you an equivalent version of toast with a bit of liver, blueberry and smooth butter to boot but you are not getting a decent ham buttie off-of me if my life depended on it. I do much better with complex foods that a lot of people would find very hard to cook the run-of-the-mill cold stuff. Having Igbotic hands I’m used to everything in the kitchen being long and complicated. I can rock with simplicity for the ride but I rarely cook simple meals compared to heavier, more seasoned ones so when I do I’m very average. Someone else can make the small bits, the sarnies, the samosas or small cookies while I boil the yam or lime-purified akpu-cassava in goose stock and get the tolo-tolo and venison stew ready. |

mariahAngel: Well, you felt wrong. Faridaije was around during 2017/18 and I was more active then than now. I had another account some years before making this one but either I got locked out or it just didn’t work anymore. In any case, my post-count on that one was about 2 at most. No doubt I lurked for a couple of years before I made this account (Probz just comes from Waves and Mr Probz; the song was a jam) but lurking does not* equate active membership. I’m pretty reserved about my personal business but I’m definitely someone who likes to cook. Just not a chef. I know someone’s got to do it but I like to move at my own pace and kinda encourage others to do the same so shouting at people in the kitchen and bossing them around like Gordon Ramsay (the total prick) wouldn’t be my thing. I’d only raise my voice at someone if they actually pissed me off on a personal level. Not because they didn’t marinate the confit for long enough or wash the onugbu to perfection. I’m not like that or that sort of person. I don’t cook for the world like that and I don’t like bossing people about so I couldn’t be a chef even if I really wanted to. And I don’t. I’m fundamentally humble and also low-key. I come from a family of good cooks, also, so a lot of it’s just genetic. You can’t choose or just cherry-pick what you inherit from your bloodline on either side either way but at least some of it will be to your advantage. Plus Igbos who know how to cook are just bad-ass in the kitchen, period. We get food and we get skill. Even us dudes (the ones who are serious about cooking). |

crowther15: Again, Ondo and Ekiti people (and the peripheral borders adjacent to Osun, yada-yada) are somewhat exempt from these generalisations. I’ll always defend them when it comes to having variety of food, because they do. And if any state outside Anambra, Akwa Ibom and Benue is known for pounded yam and egusi as a combo, it’s Ekiti. It’s even a breakfast staple for them. So I try and leave eastern Yorubas out of it when it comes to the whole “Yorubas no-get soup” argument. I’m very aware those two states do it much better than the rest, and Osun does well (not just “tries”) when it comes to egusi, too. They do well. So, again, I don’t want to generalise when it comes to making good egusi because that’s actually quite a general thing. Egusi is a very important seed in Igboland, it’s very important in Benue, in much of the south-south and some of the eastern SW, and that’s just what we know generally about Nigerian egusi, in all its variations. I’d multi-quote but y’know. Nairaland doesn’t have that option. 1 Like |

crowther15: Ondo soups being better-known to the rest of the country wouldn’t be a bad thing. But until Ibadan and Ijebu-Ode people learn to cook egusi with onugbu, they’ve still got a long, long way to go. 1 Like |
