Hi. Good morning to you all.

Have you heard of the word *YAM* before.

A typical Yam Barn in Africa

It Is a tuber crop cultivated it mostly the African countries, the locals consume it after cooking. It can also be pounded to form a local delicacy they call *pounded yam*

A pounded yam meal served with Egusi soup. It is a local soup known to Africans.

They eat it with stew or with their locally prepared soup.

A tuber of yam, peeled and slices then cooked and served with soup.

And here today I bring you a piece I've written about the "Yam Barn"

"**The yams beckon to me like bees, flower plants fat fleshy smooth yams,

Don't rest for too long on the long strong poles,

Sweet new harvest come down to make my day**".

How does the poet feels to you after seeing the yams. Have you tasted such meal before, what is your experience with other meals?

Yam as a tuber crop grows for several months before it is being harvested, and after harvest, a yam feast festival is held to mark the end if farming season in my community, we are all farmers and our practice differs from other part of the African countries. Pounded yam is a delicious meal when added with good soup and a well garnished meat.

I knows of yam so very well because I am a farmer and my co-farmers cultivate the yam in their various field, it is a very good tuber for food purpose enriched with carbohydrates, it can be cooked after peeling the back or with the back unpeeled. And it is expensive because it is one among the best classes of tuber foods, it is cooked during festivities or as a recreational food.

I've seen the yam barn once when I traveled with my mom to a village, a lot of yam, like thousands of yam were stocked up in the ban, and I was oppurtuned to taste the pounded yam meal and stew soup which was garnished with varieties of bush meat. It was really the best trip I had in my life time.

I am a person who loves food so very well, but unfortunately for me, I have never tasted such food. I wish soon enough I will taste it and have a feeling if how the yam tastes. Although am glad you shared this post with us, am opened to experiences of foods around the world. I heard Africans have diverse varieties of meal.
