Pic 2:afang already blended at the market(who has time to pound afang?!)Note I'd already added crayfish and cameroon pepper to it,so I'll have to watch it when I'm adding during cooking

Lol , funny you. Good memory too and I see you haven't lost that humorous side to you. Your Afang soup looks delicious ( looks can be deceiving though ) so my name as long as the Afang soup is still available is Oliver Twist , after I can revert back to Jamiu.
Your questions are welcomed and I hope I can satisfy your curiosity. Have a wonderful day.

The shelled periwinkle tastes better and it's more nutritious. Even at that, a meal of afang isn't complete without the distinctive sounds of shelled periwinkles being sucked out. Nostalgic, huh?

In most street markets where a sizeable number of Akwaibom women are present, the shelled periwinkles are always cut at the end and washed to remove most of the mud. All you have to do is wash the periwinkle thoroughly and discard the water until it is clear.

Your meal looks tasty though. God knows I'd kiss the knuckles of an Akwaibom young woman who keeps the home and business fronts well. AFANG ALL THE WAY! smiley
