Number 6 caterpillars

You can find the black worms in fried, dried or roasted state, being sold in local village markets in Nigeria. They can be eaten roasted or used in soups and stews.

Number 5 Agama lizard

Oboi okay let's continue


Agama lizards were very popular during the civil war when there was little to eat. Now it is something that is eaten, not quite often and especially by children in rural areas who are adventurous. The lizard is roasted for its meat.

Dude might be from Imo state or have a girlfriend from Imo or maybe his mom is probably Imo cheesy
He made a fair point about trying to compete the cooking between states tho.

But also it's true about Anambra women and soups.

They are super blessed, unless the new genz Anambra women.

Older Anambra women are not good in cooking rice and noodles.

Omg especially jellof rice .

But soup they are perfect.

@Uyomiya and @Descarado

Egusi is the MOST proteinous food available in Nigeria.
More so than beef, egg, ground nut, milk, chicken, beans, you name it. And has more fat too. So expectedly, it should purge.

So in this harse economic times, it's a back to back in my house because of my kids. And oh, how they do love it.
I do eat egusi but not like it's my best soup or something I can eat from morning till night like ogbono.

Anytime I eat egusi more than once in a row I Purge.

Like if I eat egusi today and eat it tomorrow problem.

I can only eat it today and maybe eat it again kin 2 weeks time .

Don't pls. White soup is originally know as fisherman soup. All riverine area in Nigeria and around the world have various ways of making fisherman soup.
Actually, the White soup you know today in Nigeria originated from onitsha.
It's onitsha traditional food with corn meal( nri òka)
Can you see why I said don't go there?
When you are married into an onitsha family, that's the soup you are supposed to make and serve the elders when they congregate.
When you go to obi of onitsha Palace, that's the soup you are served with nri òka.
That means you kind of partially agree with him on the Anambra stuff meaning they know how to cook the soup very well more than others .

Because they were born to it
