MY CRAVING FOR TRADITIONAL CUISINE
A cuisine is a type of dish that is made with special ingredients following special techniques and is enjoyed by people indigenous to that place. This article explains that some the same traditional cuisine can be enjoyed by different people from the same locality who prepare the same meal in different ways even from family to family. In essence it is very possible to enjoy a meal just the way Mother alone makes it. Sounds familiar right?? One very familiar example is the Egusi soup common to Nigeria. It is enjoyed by many tribes although the method of preparation is slightly different from one region to the other. This soup can revive a dead soul... Just the sight of it can remind a son about Mother's kitchen. It's aroma will send ripples into the very DNA of a long lost child making him try once again to trace his roots. That reminds us of the Prodigal Son 😊 . Some enjoy Egusi soup with pounded yam, others are fine with Eba or Fufu ( Loiloi )...
