It's the same as asking what's the Yoruba name for apple Pie?

Touchey:


There isnt. Do you see the Japanese asking for the English name of sushi? Or the Mexicans asking for the English name of tacos? We should embrace our own. No need to rebrand it

Don't mind these slaves. Fela Kuti: "Colomentality. You don be slave man before. Dem don release you now, but you never release yourself".

Very soon the slaves will ask you the English name for Amala ati Ewedu.

What is the English word for Moi Moi, not what is the English name..do the mods review headlines at all? Smh...

There's no English word for Moi Moi, because it is not an English or American delicacy..
If it got into dico tomorrow, it'd be Moi Moi...fufu is also in some new editions of Oxford dictionary, and the name wasn't altered..

This is like asking what the Efik word for Ice cream is ...

Yustash001:
Oyinbo doesn't know Moi moi...so Moi moi is Moi Moi...

Akara is akara. What is bean cake?

Make i go close d argument. Moi moi is moi moi. No more no less.

Beancake

There are many borrowed words for food in English language. Spaghetti,noodles,maccaroni and many others are kinds of diet that English don't have words for. They just adopted the names as the original owners called them. These words are mostly italian,spanish,french and some other languages. I think moi-moi is supposed to be part of it if not for racism. Some people will say it is bake-beans and it is wrong. U don't bake or fry moi-moi. U don't even boil it. It is steamed! Bole',agidi,akpu,amala,ogii are all examples of such.

Again you are wrong. What you consider in cooking are the ingredients and the ways these ingredients can be applied to arrive at the same meal.

Bean pudding or moi moi can be baked as against steaming it and you will still arrive at the same end product but with a twist.

Racist here

Bean(s) cake

what about akara?

HRich:
After being disappointed, you should have just given the correct answer to the question and walk away.

lol

It has no official English name but it should be called Boiled Bean Cake, while Akara should be called Fried Bean Cake instead of just Bean Cake.

The above two cakes are under Bean Cake category.

The above question might be funny but there are one thousand one reasons for asking it and the one on it might be the genuine one. This same question that seems hilarious posed a serious brawl between two teachers in my area.

A school teacher wrote 'moimoi' for his pupils and one of the pupil's home teacher saw it and went crazy; he called the attention of the child's mother to it and queried that the school teaches rubbish. The mother went to the school to report and it resulted into a big kasala between the school and the home teacher. They argued no English name for 'moimoi' while the home teacher claimed it is 'bean cake'. Can you now see there is need to clarify it because nobody is an encyclopedia of knowledge. Between, I laughed tire on that funny day.

I dont think 'moi moi' is a nigerian food,i have seen americans eat it in their resturants,even at a wedding in vegas,though it was a little more watery than what we take,it was even in leaves, i think its called 'pudding'...not sure though.

I don't know about that. But I think we should be content with. " moi-moi". That's all
