ewa26: Not disrespecting your hustle/craft....but seriously cummin, cinnamon, nutmeg in ofe akwu? Sooo wrong ....I know you may be trying to make it more continental? But then, culture is culture....market and sell the original, no oyibo man would try to cook, say, a pot roast or lasagna and add ogili and akanwu to it for the targeted audience! They own themselves like that....we do (or should) too, so do the right thing...real ofe akwu rocks...cinnamon and cummin and nutmeg makes it more Asian, and plain wrong....I am keeping quiet on the turkey, because it is for everybody, no? I dunno again...would totally use chicken before turkey though Okay, this last bit is my bias against turkey showing ....All the best and cheers From, an Onye Igbo who expects the world to see and take us for who we are, and respect us so (Modified) I just saw your other recipes and realise you are surely? trolling with them I feel punked...would have deleted my post but my response is actually a heartfelt one, and stems from a place where Africa is loved...so I am going to leave it, maybe it would inspire someone, and spark up something nice, dunno what though 1 Like |
