Butterflyleo:The original name is Okro. The eating of Okro was a tradition taken by enslaved Africans across the Atlantic to North America, South America and the Carribean. Because of the passage of time, loss of language etc. it came to be mispronounced as Okra. I say stick with the original especially as a Nigerian who knows better. The English name of the vegetable is Lady Finger. Otherwise stick with the original pronunciation (Okro) and not a mispronunciation which arose as a result of time and circumstance 4 Likes |

Phut: You miss the point. Be it okro or okra both are right. Saying one is original is archaic right now. One may be indigenous to Nigeria as okro pronunciation but no longer so elsewhere and even if someone says okra you already know it to mean okro so both of you are right. If the British call it lady finger or okra, when you get to the UK tell them you want to buy okro and not lady finger or okra and see how they would respond to you. 4 Likes |

OK let me help... Steam ur ingredients very well with little water no matter how small it is. Mix the egusi with water and stir, then fry with oil, pour ur ingredients and add water little by little... Note: cook Egusi with scanty vegetable leaf or bitter leaf. Eguzi needs small onions unlike other vegetable soups. Jisike |

Elder001: “Primitive, uncivilized and patriachal” because someone said a man tried cooking ![]() ![]() For your information there is nothing uncivilized about gender roles but people like you make it look so. You demean women for playing the natural role of nurturing a family while the father figure does provide for his family- it is how the society was organized and nothing bad about it. Will you not find it strange that men still are expected to propose to a woman, pay her bride price and is expected to be a provider? What is wrong in a woman making her contributions based on thier natural strengths and tendencies?? Don’t bring the nonsense about equality into every simple discuss using a warped logic. Men and women are not the same and that is not communicating superiority. Why for example is it that women are the only gender that can carry children and have the capacity to withstand the greatest pain known to man- child birth? Women are generally empowered with immense capacity to nurture while men are endowed with instincts to to provide. Same holds in nature. Things have changed a bit but that is not to say there should not be natural division of labor and responsibilities. There is a sense in which each gender is enabled by nature with some capacity that the other gender is not. I can have a robust debate with you or anyone on this matter so that we can attempt to understand that the genders are not enemies and nature was not partial with its endowments- as long as the discuss will not involve insults and disrespect, of course I can hold my own in that space as well. |

FraNKAPP: Its from the egusi. Its a new egusi.(just like new yam cant be used for porridge) Secondly, nextime add waterleaf to the egusi before other leaves (it will help thicken the soup. Or u cn add alittle achi). Except if you are going to use only vegetable leaves. I hope this helps |

Phut: They may understand you because they sense you meant okra which they are used to calling it. I am not trying to be more British than the Queen but simply letting you know that you need to get off your high horse and embrace the world and whatever they choose to "correctly" call a thing because even as okra it is also correct. This being a Nigerian forum does not mean that only Nigerians are here and also does not mean that everyone must embrace our way of saying stuff. Same way you insist on okro they can also insist on their okra or lady finger. The ability to be flexible with our understanding is key and that is what the Americans where you are are doing with you whenever you say okro rather than okra. Get it? 5 Likes |

FraNKAPP: It depends on the vegetable, if its ugwu(pumpkin) leaf it drys up the water and you don't need to add much water, even oziza leaf drys up the water, but if its green leaf and some other vegetables like that you need to first per boil the leaf a little o. fire so that the excess water can come out, then you drain the vegetable very well and after its well drained you add it into the egusi thats already on fire, make sure there's no much water in it. |

Butterflyleo: Well you need to get off your low horse and grow some self esteem. Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans etc all propagate their culture with pride. All over the U.S. there are Chinatowns, Koreatowns etc. These towns grew because of the pride this people took in their culture and their desire to propagate said culture. And trust Americans and more than willing to learn such culture as long as you believe in self. Unfortunately, some of you are too beggarly to propagate anything. Always trying to fit in.

Phut: Nobody is stopping you from growing a naija town in the US and that is not even what I am on about. I am simply saying that you were in error when you tried to correct an already correct expression for the word Okra by saying okro. I even said both are correct but you obviously have a blind spot when it comes to properly understanding what you are told or read. Here you are drifting off to building cultural communities which is rather outlandish considering what I was trying to pass across to you as a message. I could say that you are the one with an extremely low self esteem about yourself if you feel that by accepting a contrary yet correct pronunciation to what you know is a huge problem for you yet you feel totally comfy when you do the same and the Americans accept yours. You were obviously too beggarly which was why you opted to move to the US to begin with. Learn not to sound so condesending when trying to say anything. You began that way and you are still continuing that way and that is totally wrong. You know what you know and they know that they know but they will not change their already existing language for you and neither will you change yours for them so why not embrace what each says which is still very correct from each others perspective? THAT IS ALL I AM SAYING. Its folks like you who say the British and Americans are wrong when they both express English and your vernacular is correct or you say the Americans are right while the British are wrong and vice versa. Language is simply for communication and what suites and is accepted by one in his or her culture is right from their point of view but that does not make others from other cultures wrong when they also have the same things in their own places but have to call it by their own names. Perhaps the yorubas are wrong for calling plantain dodo knowing very well that is not what the igbos or hausas or even the Americans call it. Heal and stop being bitter. 5 Likes 1 Share |

The only reason behind your soup is too much water.Note,melon seed does not absorb water, that much.only powder do absorb excess water.kerosine and water are immiscible likewise any oily seed that release oil cannot be completely mixed with water .No matter how you prepare it,when it get cool or put in a flat surface the seed will reabsorb it oil and release water with little evaporation because the water isn't the source of the melon seed.pls do not allow to much water in your soup even if it is not Egusi.make sure the water in your soup dries up by 90% before dropping the pot down from fire 1 Like |
