Afang Soup As The Grundnorm

I am alarmed at the crass display of ignorance of hierarchy of soups in Africa by a section of new generation consumers. Afang belongs in the same class as the constitution of the land. It is the grundnorm, the supreme soup of the land. All other soups, no matter how sweet derive their validity from Afang. Editan, ogbono, atama are at their best good soups but afang is the sole official soup of the land. Infact, editan is at best judged to be good by how much it attempts to taste like afang. The fact that modern technology and increased demand has enhanced the mass production of afang soup, some by bad cooks, it has not in anyway affected its significance, power, authority, preference, historical relevance, and spirituality. Afang is the fons et origo, the source and origin of all soups, the methods of preparation of all soups derive their recipe and validity from afang. Should there be a clash of choice of soups at any event or home, afang by law take pre-eminence, this provision is enforceable. Any soup that is inconsistent with the taste and flavour of afang is null and void and of no effect whatsoever. Be it be known to all that the supremacy of Afang above other soups is not in contest.
