Tiv Yam ummm so yummy. so delicious, so sweet, so white  . this specie of yam is special!! not like any other yam planted on nigeria soil. so good with egg, so good with garden egg, efo, stew etc and poundo too oh la la. good with their whitish long egusi/melon soup with bush meat, ofe nsala when fried, it's definitely out of this world . yeah fried Tiv yam, fried egg, and tea with lots of milkgreat combo share your experience with Tiv yam. |

tpia, have you tasted Tiv yam before? i don't know how and why but the yam is really sweet. nothing like it!!! i had to pour sugar when cooking yam to make it taste like tiv yam. . . there used to be tiv yam market in the west. oh that yam na helele i no fit talk o. the yams around here taste like chalk, so hard and could choke if you are not careful. Tiv yam is really soft and sweet. i used to think they soak the yam in sugar before planting. |

Tpia, i think it is only the Tiv (Gboko) or those from Benue that have that specie?. i don't know if the yam could come out sweet if planted in other area. have you ever seen Tiv heap for planting yam?  the heap is soooooooooooooo huge . the Tivs in my school then don't do the huge heap thing on our agric farms. but if you go to their home state, that heap na wah. . . they don't play with the heap for planting yams. yes some yams are sweet but the Tiv yam is special to be honest |

I'll prolly ask this Niaja Lady who sells African food stuff . . . |

Haha, now i see Tiv yams are usually the real white ones right?? Well i never really liked the yellow ones by the way! I usually boil it wid a lot of sugar and just barely a pinch of salt  It goes real well with Ayamashe sauce, or garden egg stew,  |

I never knew there was a 'tiv breed' of yam ,thought all were thesame,well all the yam I ate came from benue,my village to be precise and I can testify,some of them yams actually tasted like they were dipped in honey. |
