In Africa, or at least in Nigeria, our major dishes are a mixture of a particular soup and a sort of soft semi-liquid food which we use to eat the soup.</p><p>The semi-liquid substance which is often referred to as the \"swallow\" can either be made from wheat, cassava(garri and fufu), starch and yam and which one you like depends solely on your own personal preference. Pounded yam as stated is made by boiling yam then pounding it into a soft and very smooth semi liquid paste.</p><p>For me I'd go with pounded yam because it's usually the smoothest while it goes down your throat when compared to the others and although Egusi soup is literally the easiest soup to cool, to me it's one of the tastiest. While I was in school, a day didn't go bye without me eating Egusi soup and a particular swallow.</p><p>The Egusi soup tastes best when it's garnished with things like fish and meet which give it a very unique and wonderful flavour. It's made from ground Egusi seeds and probably takes the shortest time to cook. Seeing as I love sharp food and sharp service, I guess that's why I like it so much.</p><p>A couple of honourable mentions would be Pounded yam and Ofe-Nsala soup, Garri and Okra soup, Jollof rice(Nigeria's Jollof Rice is the best in the world!!!) and maybe yam porridge.</p><p>These are all great dishes, but for me I'll have to stick with my pounded yam and Egusi soup.</p><p>I hope this helps.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3rvnwbdx","appParentAuthor":"maruwa","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
