Your reasons are not the major reasons.

It was the war. The biafran Civil War

Necessity is the mother of invention, they had to innovate to survive. I can imagine how many died from trials. And unfortunately some had to eat human flesh to survive, hence the persistence of cannibalism in igbo land and parts of the south blockaded as biafra (for example Akwa Ibom etc)

What is this for Christ's sake?

This fit make pesin throw up..


Goshh...

You’re yarning horseshit...inspired by crass stupidity, bigotry and hate!

Who told you there’s ‘cannibalism’ in Igboland!? Why do you persist in trying to give oxygen to this nairaland lie!?

What’s your own ethnicity?

These dishes are so mouth-wateringly good to look at!

Not at all. As we established before, Igbo cuisine is renowned for it's elaborate and flavor-heavy dishes.

The targeted genocide against the Biafran state by Nigeria, like every other conflict in history, destroyed a lot of Igbo culinary traditions and ensured that many recipes were lost as surviving communities had to make do under Nigeria's British-backed starvation policies.

It's telling that what remained of Igbo cuisine after that barbaric onslaught is still lauded so highly.

Lala, thus thing deserve FP.
Omo see chow, one of the few reasons I wan marry igbo girl. Though I still believe calabar has more varieties
Btw, that Banga soup is a Niger Delta food and not igbo

Banga soup is actually Igbo.

We call it ofe akwu traditionally.

Traditional names help to confirm the origins of cuisines.

Maybe Niger Delta people also have their own variety of ofe akwu. But it must have a full local name to enhance the claim

thorpido:
You're sure the efik/ibibio don't have more varieties?
Anyway,which one you want give us chop?

.

Erik and Ibibio do not have more varieties, but they have some amazing delicacies like Edikangkong,

Shiver99:
Does anyone else have any pictures of Igbo delicacies? ( preferably not soups). I personally would have posted more soups. (And there are a lot of them) But I already created a thread focusing on them here:

https://www.nairaland.com/6364237/showcasing-diversity-igbo-cuisine

I have heard of a lot more foods myself, but the sad thing is that there are no google images I can find to support it. Taking pictures of your village or town's foods is always a welcome development.

Delicacies like ngwo-ngwo/isi ewu, Nkwobi, abacha, ji mmanu, ji agwolu agwo etc

its originally a Niger delta food

it is not. We have ours which is Ofe Akwu. It's just like saying rice is originally from the North because the Northerners plant it.

the first statement I made should have made you to understand that I understood what you meant.

DCatt:
It's sad no vaccines for dishonesty. I'm sure they never tasted most of what they are calling Igbos food until they arrived in Yorubaland. The picture of food on top of your comment is Idalu/adalu that Yoruba cook when laying house foundation.

I posted that and there’s nothing Yoruba about that food.
Adalu is a mix of beans and corn. That’s not adalu. It’s a mix of ukwa and oka breadfruit and corn while adalu is mix of beans and corn.

First photo is adalu while the second is ukwa na oka…Orumba people call it Ahuoka.

I don't care what you mix it with, oka is Yoruba.
