My Taste Buds Do Have A Choice

Hello friends, compliment of the season to you all.

It amazes me sometimes how the weekend goes by so quickly and before you know it, the official Monday is already at the door, lol.

Ohh yeah! In my post today I would be sharing my opinion in the weekend engagement prompt week 287 and specifically on the topic: What's the best food and worst food you've ever eaten and why?

A lot of times I would always say that I do not have any best food but that sounds somewhat like a lie because there are obviously some food I can eat without getting tired or bored no matter how much I eat them, and the funny part is that, it is not just one kind of food but there a lot of foods too that I could eat in that same way.

I will be talking about just one of them and that is Ekpang Nkukwo, a lot of people might not know this dish because it is a native food in my locality and it is mostly eaten in Akwa Ibom State and Cross River State here in Nigeria. It is a very wonderful meal not just that but it is our cultural meal, no traditional marriage is complete without this meal.

Everything about Ekpang Nkukwo is great, the taste, the aroma, it is very satisfying, it is highly nutritious but just one thing makes people find it hard to prepare and that is the fact that it takes time, it is very very tasking. The whole process of making it can be tiring but believe me it is worth the stress and effort.

My mum and I would always plan it out whenever we want to cook it, everyone would have to do something if you really want to eat it on time. But that can never be a challenge because the outcome of it would help soothe the stress.

Now, talking about the worst food I have ever eaten, I won’t use the word ‘worst’ instead it is a food I dislike and that is beans. Ohh yes! I know some people are just waiting to stone me for saying this, lol.

I dislike beans does not mean I don’t eat it, just that in the midst of every other food, I would never go for beans. I know people would always say, “eat beans oo, it is a very good source of protein, it will make you tall oo…” bla, bla bla.. they would say a lot especially my mother.

No, I don’t just like beans and I can’t tell exactly why I dislike it, it is probably because of how it tastes, look and all of that. I hate it more when it is cooked with potatoes, ahh, it gets so heavy and gives me heart burn and I hate that feeling.

I agree, beans is a good but I don’t like it especially with the fact that it makes me bloat and just a reminder to my fellow beans lovers, eating of beans too much causes gout and that isn’t good at all so please eat with moderation.

So in all, I don’t have any worst food but just that some food stands out better and special for me.

Happy new week dear friends.
