#LocalGuidesLove
Food is a very uniting force in general. It’s the first characteristics of a living being-Nutrition. Of course needless to say, some love and enjoy it more than others. Some manifest their love and others don’t. whichever way food is a great thing and I love food. Nutrition should be a very important part of a local guide’s life. As local guides,we are constantly on motion, adding places to the maps, giving honest and original reviews etc. if you must take a good shot.and go on photo edit walks,or take a good 360 photo etc. you’ll need to be very well and feeding healthy as well. Feeding for the health reasons is not the objective for this post,although its part of it. My main aim or goal for this is to express My Love for this particular dish on post. It’s a dish common to West African countries,at least having lived and worked in Ghana,I can firmly say it exits there, it’s common in Benin Republic,and of course here in Nigeria !!!
Needless to say it is as tasty and spicy as it looks in the photo. The bright,brilliant yellow and dark green colour is very nutritious and yummy. I must point out that it’s quite healthy as well. Very simple and pocket friendly to prepare,not time consuming and very appetizing all the same. It is a special dish, but the preparation of it is not limited to special occasions.
It’s a dish that can be served everyday of life. It’s quite common in most part of Nigeria @Sagir might be able to tell us if the Northerners serve it or not @EmekaUlor can also be a witness on this being a South Easterner. It has various methods of preparations. I Loved it so much so that it was the subject of My first Virtual meet-up while I was in Accra-Ghana. It was an unforgetable 1st meet-up for a local guide just starting out on connect a year and half ago.
I love it so much,that I have it had about 3 times already this week, Imagine !!! I won’t go into the details of the preparations in this post,because I have the slide used in my meet-up on West-African-dishes-virtual-taste-meetup . The slide explains in details the preparation of Egusi soup !!!
Furthermore on this I’ll love to know if “Egusi” is found in Asia or what other continents have you on the planets. Maybe our moderator and my good friend @TusharSuradkar will have an idea otherwise don’t mind you’ll like the post. Another local guide I might like to ask is @MukulR he was the one who inspired me on that first meet-up on this,so maybe you have this in Bangladesh kindly let us know. @AdrianLunsong don’t bother looking for it in Malaysia,you may not get it because it seems a tropical ingredient. @FalguniP is another foodie that might be interested in this have you ever seen this(Pleaae refer the 2nd photo on the post).
Comments on the availability of it in other parts of the world from other local guides are welcome indeed !!!
This dish is popular in lots of Nigerian restaurants and at affordable costs. At this junction Adrian, this is my Love as a foodie. Hope you like it or rather love it as well. Thank you for this #LocalGuidesLove and other initiatives and chance for local guides to express themselves,happy February, happy valentine and love you all.
Cheers
