Egusi is a west africa cuisine, doesn't belong to ibos.


Raskimonojendor:

If you grew up in a Yoruba household, you would have "sé" egusi when you were little. Egusi Ijebu is a favorite stew in Ijebu households. Obatala's favourite food is iyan and egusi.

Ibos borrowed the word "egusi" from Yorubas.


Ofodirinwa:
A 1 canopy backyard cookout of 20 people caused all of this noise? How many Yoruba people are eating Egusi as I type this?

Raskimonojendor:

Yoruba own egusi.

Ibo dictionary below says it's a loaned word from Yoruba.

Nobody owns egusi . It’s like saying you own Yam because you eat Amala which is made from dried Yam (elubo). Other people eat yam too but prepared in a different way .

Maybe yoruba first called it egusi or maybe other tribes first called it egusi , it’s irrelevant .
The plant is grown across west Africa almost to central africa . And it’s are called different names .

The difference here (and most important thing) is how it’s prepared differently. The way egusi was prepared historically in yorubaland has changed .
Yoruba used to cook egusi without oil and it stays white and they prepare stew separate .
Then they dish the stew on top of the white egusi . But now most yoruba families don’t cook cook it like that anymore . They copied the Igbo way of cooking it .

So the method of cooking is what’s important and the common method we have today definitely originated from Igboland.

Purely based on food safety and hygiene concerns, I wouldn’t taste whatever they served.
Nice concept though but better preparation needed for subsequent editions

Egusi is a traditional African seed/dish. No tribe can lay claim to it.

Pls ooooo one of the customer should try and go inside to assess the drum were they scoop water from to make the amala, you will be dazed, devastated and dis appointed if you see the accumulation of dirty, dead rat inside that drum it happened in my state leading to the closure of that amala spot then, ever since I prefer my wife to make amala for me at home if I want to eat it.

Hope one day they won't say Amala belongs to them. That they developed it. Wetin Musa no go see for gate with those people. The case of Lagos comes to mind.
