more from that month
Have you ever eaten Moi Moi? This was my part of my lunch today. I had no intention of taking a picture until my mom asked me to. Hehe. I have only spent less than two weeks here, and she already knows that I post some of my photographs here. Bean pudding locally called “Moi Moi” is prepared by peeling the skin of black eyed beans and then soaking and grinding it along with Onions and red pepper (usually scotch bonnet or bell pepper or both). Proteins like chicken egg, fish or diced meat can be added to it before it is then steamed. The mixture is poured in a leaf called “Thaumatococcus daniellii,” packed, and then steamed in a pot using hot water. Personally, I like taking it with chilled cassava flakes, soaked in cold water and fried fish. I wish you a lovely weekend. Got any weekend plans? I am about to sleep.

I just read it now dear brother. I think this has the same variety from here. Here we called it tamales.
We have food similar to that one. Made fr grated cassava.. We call it era-id in our dialect
Peeling skin off black eye pea sounds like hard work. It looks like what we call otah here.
I haven't tried this yet But it looks delicious :) Was it wrapped in a leaf?
i think i know that food ... we call it tamales here ...maybe similar to that :)
Anything made from Beans is always a banger, moimoi, akara, bean porridge, ekuru, anything
I didn't eat this one yet, I want to try! It looks so soft, sweet and yummy! Aaaahhhh, can I have some?
Moi moi is one of my favorites. I am still wondering how you got the botanical name for the leaf used to wrap moi moi
