THE FOOD DIARY GAME SEASON: 1. 08/09/2021- #sfcharity 50pc. PRESENTING MY FAVORITE FOOD

Hello everyone on this beautiful platform especially #stermfood community. I am happy taking part in this diary. Food is one of the essential elements for all living things and so my food diary for today is seen below.

This morning I had pap and gateau for breakfast. Let's see how I made it below.

Add the mixed pap to the boiled water and stir till it thickens.

Add some more water and stir. This is to make sure it doesn't have the raw taste.

For lunch the family ate our traditional meal called "nang tare". This is my best African dish. I love it because of its taste and it's natural too. You don't need to add extra spices to prepare it. In my tradition this is a special meal prepared mostly for born houses ( birth of a new baby), death traditional weddings, as a sign of respect and value when you prepare it and visit someone, death celebration and other traditional feast. I have been wanting to eat this meal for days now so I decided we all eat this meal today. Here's the process below.

Put the bitter leaf in a pot, add water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove, wash and keep aside.

Peel cocoyam, wash and put in a clean pot.

Wash the meet and add to the cocoyam. When you must have put half of the cocoyam in the pot. Add water and put the stove.

Cook for 8 minutes then add the washed bitter leaf, salt, maggi, pepper and palm oil. Cover and allow to cook for about 25 minutes.

Ensure everything tastes well then remove and serve.

Since this is a traditional meal it is best eaten with the hands as it is believed to have more taste than eating with spoons. I bet you you will want to add more when you eat it like we do.

As part of the food I made some fried plumes to accompany the food. This is the rainy season and plumes is one of my favorite fruit which I eat with everything thing.

I washed my plumes, put in a frying pan, add small water, place on the stove and fry.

I constant shake the frying pan to turn the sides of the plumes. Frying is done until cracks appear on the plumes, then the plumes is ready.

Remove and serve along with the food.

For dinner I ate the same food as for lunch.
