RE: Day 1815: 5 Minute Freewrite: Tuesday - Prompt: native food
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I come from Nigeria a Yoruba boy to be precise and we have lot of native food, funniest part was growing I never liked any of my native food but since I wasn't born with a silver spoon my choice was limit.
My village native food us pounded yam and I still don't like it or eat it and for that some people do say I'm a bastard which doesn't matter to me, pounded with vegetable soup and better bush meat is enough to make you feel heaven on earth but it do make me sleepy after I'm done eating it which is why I stop eating pounded yam.
In case you come across it please try it and you won't regret doing

How do you prepare pounded yam?
Wow, there is the thing we call pestle and mortar. The first thing is you boil you yam without adding salt and after it's cooked well you put it one after the other into the pestle and mortar and you pound it. It's a food that requires technique and not strength to make or better still just get pondo yam at the store and you make at home
Thank you.
Are the yams you have sweet? Actually, I think all we can get here are sweet potatoes and not true yams. But if I ever find a start, I am going to grow some.
Very very sweet, I think they import some down there but hopefully your soil is good for it.... You can actually check if there is a Nigerian restaurant over there that sell Nigerian food you should get it
