She was about 80 yrs old.So as a kid,i didnt lyk my grandma's food coz if u watch her prepare the food, chai.Time for you

Whaaat? We all loved our grandma's cooking in my family, we still do to this day. Her stews were probably one of the best stews in the world. Her vegetable soup was the bomb. Nobody used pepper like she did but the meals were still out-of-this-world delicious. Its a pity I haven't tasted any of her cooking in recent times but my childhood memories are filled with exciting trips to Mama's (pronounced mar mar) house for holidays and great food. My mother's own cooking was great but comprised mostly of western dishes, my grandma's cooking was entirely of African dishes. Best of both worlds is what I had.

Lol. Unfortunately I didn't have any of my grandmothers around for most of my upbringing. I don't remember eating my paternal grandmother's food at all as she left when I was two. As for my maternal grandmother, her own is delish! She's diabetic now, so she's cut back on salt recently. I saw her last this holiday season. Even with less salt, I still dey lick my fingers after chopping her eba and ofe egusi

Lawd could my grandma whip up some good meals!!!! I miss that woman so much!!!!!!

I enjoyed my maternal grandma's whip even better .chai that woman sabi beat person oooo but I did enjoy her vegetable soup most . There is a way she cooks it that the aroma alone will increase U̶̲̥̅̊я appetite and to kill it all she do slice garden egg inside it , chai ! If she did not die till I marry I'll take my wife to go learn the art of garden egg mixed with vegetable cooking . I miss ya mama oke ijeun (her nickname )

Na who no go enjoy im grandma food. I enjoy am die, a pity d mama don die nw

Going to Ijebu then was very exciting

We couldn't wait to eat grandma's food, she used to cook it inside the clay pot and guess what? the food tastes better than the one mum cooks with metallic pot.

The wood fire, clay pot plus her skills make the food so delicious, I miss her food no be small

I enjoyed mine to the fullest. She was a vegetarian so she had the best of dry fishes to prepare her meals. Oh! how i miss her food.

You guys are makin me feel jelous. I did not hav the opportunity 2 enjoy my grandma food lik you did/ are doin. We lived far from home and now dat we re close, we just visit and leave de same day. But i luv and respects her.

Her sunday evening meals were sth not to miss. Oldies were natural.

The memories of sweet delicacies: pounded cocoa yam (red cocoa yam) with vegetable soup back in the village (osuke-ota) in those yester years will remain evergreen. we would sit around her in the make-shift kitchen taking the flames into our eyes (mixed feelings of pain and pleasure) to be sure we wont miss the kick off,

After lunch, she would take us to the stream for a bath and ensure we had our siesta before allowing us to join the other boys in the school field for football,

Onikoyi eso o, may your soul rest in peace. We miss you gaan ni!

Nne Ohuji (our pet name for her),you cooked and gave the best meals i have ever tasted in my life. i still miss ur meals whenever i travel to the village.is it the ofe owerri with lots of dry fish, snails and goat meat? is it the afang soup you prepare more than the calabar women even though you are ibo? you made me love my village in owerri more than any other place on earth because of your delicacies.

Looooove my grandma's onugbo soup, thick, rich and red wit lots of stock fish, dry fish, asa, assorted meat and to beat it all, taken wit pounded yam. Salivating now just thinking abt it.

Sorry, but I was born to meet only my granddads still around. Both of my grandmas died in their 40s. SO I never experienced any of that.

I sitll like gRAMAS foood !! IZ the best xD1!! [img]http://2.s07.flagcounter.com/count/DymW/bg=E6E6E5/txt=E6E6E5/border=E6E6E5/columns=1/maxflags=1/viewers=3/labels=0/[/img]

Im sorry i don't enjoy my grandma's food in most cases, i swear! I had the opportunity to stay with her when i gained admission into the university. I left Lagsidi and stayed with her through out the duration of my university education, as our house in the villa wasnt far from sch. I had to cook myself most times as the food she prepared were below my standard(too much of fast food don spoil me). We had to fight most times when i declined to eat her food, instead opted for 'buka'. She always comes with this excuse "this is the same food i fed ur mum with" . Oh my God! She is a wonderful woman to be with. Hey, now im used to eating her food because i stopped eating outside and i love it bt nt always.Im sorry i don't enjoy my grandma's food in most cases, i swear!

I only hav maternal grandma,and i see her once in a while,i dnt tink hav tasted her food b4(can't remember)which means am on a lonnnnnnnng thing.chei!

Grandma cooked a special spicy soup whenever i had malaria. May her gentle soul rest in peace.

Well ma Grandma is a caterer by profession and her food is da best in the whole of Nigeria!

My maternal grangma was an efo-riro specialist wit all d crayfish, crab, snail, stock and dried fish just mention it and funny enough she used vegetable oil to cook it. i remember my dad always stopping by to eat after work before going home. Keep resting in Peace Maami

I did enjoy my maternal grandma's food bc she was too "English" ,by this I mean educated, so we are served with the normal bread with fried eggs as breakfast, and other kinds or variety of foods for lunch and dinner.

But when we go to my dad's place, haba, my paternal grandma will always eat fufu round the clock. Jeeeeez! Her soup is always dark in colour too. When she cooks rice, which is usually once in a while, she uses palm oil, yyyuuuuk! And the good thing about her is that, she always wants us to join her when she is eating but we never tasted her food

i miss the way she prepares Abacha, she go put odudu(looks like a bean), anara (local garden egg), akwukwo anara,(local garden egg leaf) chopped pomo and opkoroko. she go come use nguu (not akanwu) and a special kind of oil called "mmanu eketeke". i remember how we use to fight over who is going to test it to see if the salt is ok.( smirks) but something happened one time she left  some abacha for me,this one she prepared it with oporo(those big dried red prawn),i was so eager  to eat, i didn't even bother to warm it nor did i realise that one of the prawns was actually a cockroach,, as i crush the roach with my teeth i screamed and  threw up everything. my brothers told me to use detol to brush my teeth and forget about food for at least a day or else i'll be shitting out baby roaches. fear no let me eat at all plus say my mouth come get sore with the detol i dey use brush teeth.anywayz, on the 3rd day  my granpa held me down while granma force  food down my throat while threatening fire and brim stone,  i still get this phobia for prawns and i no dey use eye see cockroach. notthin do me sha, i still miss my gran's abacha die.

BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN
Why American men should boycott American women

http://boycottamericanwomen..com

I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don’t know how to cook or clean, don’t want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?

American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.

This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.

BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN!

I enjoyed my Maternal Grandma's food more. My Paternal Uncle made it a habit to pay her a visit when ever he travelled home just to have a feel of her cooking. She was always on point. Rest in peace.
