Your favourite meal is a meal you love eating. And everyone has his own favourite meal, we eat every day, but our favourite still remains our favourite. A glance at this week's topic, I did not think of it at all because my favourite is right in front of me. I can't do without it. As a matter of fact I ate it this morning.
My favourite food is yam. Anyone who knows me well will tell you without thinking twice when asked about my favourite food. It doesn't matter to me how it's prepared, it's all good by me. Any one can prepare it because it's very easy to prepare. I cannot stay a whole week without eating yam no matter the cost.
What I love most about yam is it's versatility. Pounded yam with thick rich soup? hmmm, I bet you if you are the type that love swallow, you can't resist it. Cooked yam with onion sauce? It's simple, but it hits the spot every single time. What about boiled yam with egg sauce? Yam porridge? Yam soup with pounded yam to go with it, it tastes like home. In fact there's no wrong way to cooking it for me.
Yam is so special to me because it brings back beautiful memories of my childhood when my grandfather was still alive, he had a large yam farm. And whenever the yam was harvested, he would gather all his grandchildren together. We would sit around as he roasted the yam for us and poured oil and sprinkle salt on it and we were all happy, we laughed together, and enjoyed the love, peace, and togetherness
I also remembered yam festival celebrations then, when yam was prepared in different forms including roasted with firewood or charcoal 😋😋😋. Those were days i ate yam to my satisfaction and enjoyed the memories that comes with it.
I love yam to the point that, the smell alone can change my mood 😀😀😀. All food requires patience to cook right, but with yam, if you really want to pound it properly, you will need to be patient no rush, just wait for it to soften, then you will get a good result.
If you really want to know me, why not start with a plate of yam 😀😀. If I'm smiling while eating it, you will know you have got me right.
