My babe is a very good cook that is one of the attributes that drew me to her since our first date

Asides that she’s supportive but she also great in other areas …

I know The Redpillers will lash at me but it’s the sweet truth

If your woman is a great cook ,hold on to her

Food is one of the primary thing that keeps a relationship going

I’m stepping down with this mixture for the night

(Picture below)

What do you think of the meal ?

Munzy14:

Lol...Onwere otu i na eji aghota okwu ebe a...Modify on it sha...Owuchahu ogu na mgba ndi F na M here...Some are mere comments.

So na Senegal get am, and Ghana and Nigerian they battle am Anyway ihe ka mu mkpa wu iri ka owula...regardless of onye nwe ya..

Mariangeles:

It’s more than that.
It’s part of our tradition.



Other people’s recipes? Yeah.
See how Efik/Ibibio people came for Poco yesterday…they were trying to “protect” what is theirs.

Mba. Ushi ya ga e mebi ofe.
I’d rather use it in egusi soup.

A ga’m a gbali riwe utara one of these days o.

Mariangeles:

Ok.



Yes, Jollof originated from Senegal.
I think Ghanaians created their own recipe, but Nigerians stole Togolese jollof rice recipe and claimed it as their own.

Munzy14:

Tradition okwaya ..Chai na one soup my granma never get tire of...During Christmas...You dare not touch the oha trees if you are not her son, DILs or grandchildren... If not you go collect Insult.

She dey play with their soup, one day dey will come for her native Achara soup..ya wuru a return match..Maybe you will see a Canadian style of cooking achara soup...

I si ushi ya... I am more of a fish person...Except poultry meat, and goat, Fish is held in high.

When I say fish, Na cat, croaker and mackerel...Owuhu kwa others their is one my ex used to call chizoba.. ogwu ka ejiri mara ya.

You don sabi kitchen things finish... riwe utara o..Ma ya wuru ndi ebe nke unu..

Munzy14:

Factual?
Naija no fit carry last...Any which way, na way...

Naija na tiff-tiff!

Mariangeles:


Ofe oha wu part of our heritage na ala-Igbo nu.
So, we have to protect its authenticity for future sake.



Some say she did very well, others were looking for faults to the point of how she sliced the leaves wrong



Yes na. Mackerel has this strong smell, and its presence in ofe oha can hardly go unnoticed.

For soups, you can go for dry fish.

Do you like azu mangala?
It is almost tasteless, and I don’t get the hype.



You mean that oily fish? That is like large size sardine?


Ihe ndi obia na kpo’m ngwe m ri ntakiri wu we ri utara

Mariangeles:


Naija na tiff-tiff!

The most Dangerous man to a Woman,is a Man who can Control his Sexual urges. Adding icing on the cake,is a Man who can cook his own meals.

Sex and food are the 2 things women use subtly to control men,take those things away and they are completely powerless.

Munzy14:

Okwaya..

Lol...No I don't know the fish called mangala..I know about the name...Thought it was things of the 90s.

I have cat fish in the farm, ones in a while We clear some, cut to sizes, dry in the oven for soups...

But, I don't allow it interfere with my choice for mackerel.

I can't even explain the chizoba fish Na strugglers protein sha.

I kpaga nu guy as Ada daddy ya then na.. Special care, attention and coded pampering na

Right from childhood, I No stress my people...Any thing edible goes.. And we had a lot of fish growing up....which explained my special choice for it.

Mariangeles:

Yeah.

Owu azu ndi mpa na mma. Ask your mum or dad about it.
They say the reason why it’s regarded as special is because a na a gutali n’ofe. It doesn’t break easily.



Do they dry up when roasted in the oven? Or they just remain soft?

I like mackerel, but my favorite fish is fresh hake. ‘Ke ahu n’eji e me okporoko.

It might be the one that I think.
It’s usually very cheap, but it very tasty too.
I like it in fresh tomato fish stew, so when we buy other fish, we add that one because of its taste.



It was intentional o.
In fact, I don’t remember ever eating it, till I got to the point when I started trying to eat it to please my mum.

Umu nwoke a rihu mma I gba nho nri. It doesn’t look right on them.

Munzy14:

Lol ezigbo azu ndi mpa na mma...They do talk about it..As azu ha riri mgbe ha na eto..
It comes from the north abii?

They dry up very well and tasty..

Hake the baby size of stock fish? Na momsy like am very well...That fish no get taste na..How do you enjoy it? growing up mma ji azu ya na carton, na only her go chop am..My and my brothers will get alternatives... And you know ndi mma, something her children no like, she will quit.

I ji di eri akpu ka o wu nani garri when you want to try? You dey miss o...

Kuku finish men, so they shouldn't make choice okwaya? O Nwere umu nwoke gbagburu onwe ha na iho nri..
A medical doctor wu my neighbour, doesnt eat chicken, doesn't eat egg, plus a lot of things...

A woman that will marry him must get ready for kitchen stress.

Mariangeles:

I don’t know where it’s from o.


Nice.

Part of the reason why I like it is ‘cause it’s not too fishy and it’s chewy when fried.
Unu na inyanga.



Akpu kor, akpu ni!



O nwere ndi umu nwoke na anahu e ri utara akwa I ma?

Munzy14:

L

She dey play with their soup, one day dey will come for her native Achara soup..ya wuru a return match..Maybe you will see a Canadian style of cooking achara soup...

pocohantas:




I think I need to create a recipe for achara soup. I would do that for the culture and tag Kobo to identify if it is elephant grass.

Munzy14:

Asi o wu azu na gwogwotigwo shi maiduguri..

Yea chewy when fried...These people that sell fries here do use it as main protein...Tasty when spiced very well if not, na chaff...
Inyanga wuni normal..

Wait i ribehu akpu before?

Chai diaspors emela gi iwa... so na only eba? Ri we kwa akpu o..
Chere godi what is your menu like on a weekly? Growing up we have this list of what to eat Any time any day in the week,I am curious at this juncture..To know ihe ndi i na eri...

O wu tea, na ihe ndi di light?

Yes, my uncle doesn't, Rather utara ji...He doesn't eat foofoo...Last time I visited him, was 9years ago...he still doesnt eat it.

I have a younger bro that doesnt eat garri...Just Akpu alone.

pocohantas:

Mariangeles:


You have to. I don’t know how they make it.

pocohantas:


About the same way you make oha. It is not hard as such. The only remotely hard part is making akpuruakpu egusi.

I will…

Mariangeles:


Where do they get their fishes from?
I thought their lands were mainly dry lands.



Very nice to snack on. Not chaff o.

No na.



When I compile the list, I’ll let you know.

Mariangeles:


You have to. I don’t know how they make it.

Munzy14:

Same with oha way...You will now come and do akpuru akpu egusi...when I was in Abia, this people no dey joke with ofe achara...And okazi soup..I had issues maintaining the menu I know...

You see?
Just imagine they altered it with ngwogwo na ngwogwo, how would people like us know the original?

They don't know other soup o...Except that soup, ofe okazi and afang due to closeness of the Ibibios bordering Ikwuano...apart from soup issues, I enjoyed there..Probably best moments before nowadays.

pocohantas:


Odiegwu



Wetin Musa no go see for gate. I cook very well… naso them take add ginger inside ofe nsala.

Munzy14:

Lake chad crossed into Borno or so..They are known for fish o...especially mackerel...They have a bigger fish market..

Ooh!! Onye snacks.

Weird, you never chop akpu before...ewooo..Ya wuru mma m ya si, I wu onye ocha nna ya di oji.
So why? You don't like it or it is not available over there?



Please do, I am very curious.

doggedfighter:



Hahahahahahaha

See my life outside.

I do add ginger o

Mariangeles:

Wow!



I don’t think it is that weird. Maybe because you’re based in ala-Igbo where it’s a staple.

It’s basically everything except swallows.

What do you think of the meal ?

pocohantas:


I am short of words. I would love you (and other Nlders) to share some of your recipes one day. I think I would find it fascinating. There must be something to learn. Definitely not putting ginger in nsala.

doggedfighter:



For a good cook like you.


Some of our recipes will break your heart.

Just like my gingered nsala soup made you cry

You better avoid us.
