People hype some food a lot, meanwhile, such foods aren't worth such hype.

No disrespect to my brothers from the southwest, to me, Amala and ewedu remind the most overrated food. I see absolutely nothing spectacular about the food.



Ah. The thing dey sweet me die if eaten hot, with the amala soaked inside the ewedu. I can't joke with it.

Don't mind him. He's kidding. I know you cannot leave amala alone. As a Yoruba muslim, you and amala and APC plus agbado are inseparable. Enjoy.

It has to be pizza.

Unhealthy, expensive, overhyped, and no difference than bread, except that it is massively d as something upper class.

Give me bread and beans with cold water, and to hell with pizza.

Garri. I hear alot of folks call it lifesaver, the kind heartburn e dey give me ehnnnn... I'd rather not. Another one is poultry and it's product.

You have chronic peptic ulcer disease or gastritis. You are susceptible to heartburns. It is even likely that you are belching repeatedly, you may be farting uncontrollably.
Beware of milk, cheese, yam, garri, beans, hot pepper and dried pepper. Take more water before and after your meal.

If you want to drink garri, make sure you change the water like 3 times to reduce the level of its acidity.

Àmàlà dis, Àmàlà dat.... Wetin Àmàlà do una.... Its just the name thats chasing people away....

Peel your yams or Plantain..... Slice to pieces and dry......dry and dry....
Grind to powder, i mean powder, sieve to fine dust.....
Pour in hot water and stir, Àmàlà is ready.....

So why are people making it look like the Yorùbás have one secret ingredient in making Àmàlà....... The process is clean and easy to emulate by anyone... I am igbo and i love it so much

Y'all be eating okpa prepared by Gbagyi women 😂😂😂😂

By the time una eat okpa from enugu state, y'all will change your mind, okpa is a whole protein food, rich in vitamins and very tasty when prepared by an enugu woman, when it comes to Okpa, leave it to the Enugu women, nah their birth right 😎
You took the words right out of my mouth, they would never understand you, until they visit Enugu state. Then some tiv women use one local space like that to prepare theirs, the taste is heavenly.

I live in Enugu. Okpa does not have any special way of preparing it. The taste is almost the same. The difference could be in the consistency. Some are softer than others. First time I tasted it, I was like na wa o.

Abula
Okpa
Abacha
Pizza
Avocado
Oatmeal (quite fair, but if I had other options, I won't go near it)
Burger
Shawarma( loads of calories in a wrap)




Let me also add coco pops to the list. Once soggy, it triggers my trypophobia.




Abacha is as good and tasty as the ingredients used in making it. There is basic Abacha and there is a very rich one.

Just like Eba or Semo is as good as the soup you eat it with.

I you in this train of thought. I was scarred by the colour of Amala as a kid and ran from it like it's some plague. I still wonder less what people see on Amala and gbegiri. The gbegiri soup even looks like Se sacrifice to some lowbudget gods. Funnily, the way Ibadan people take this Amala as demigod is mortifying.
Most foods Igbo people hype are considered DOG foods here!

When you see threads like this.their Target is always AMALA AND EWEDU.

But since the faecal OHA eating Cannibals have been hating on the food,it's greatness has never reduced one bit!
