As a foodie it's hard to choose any food as my favourite, but it comes to my mind that there's this wonderful meal that I can joyfully eat any day, anytime and that is so dear to my heart. The special delicacy happens to be POTATOES and when it comes to potatoes as a meal I don't joke with it, I might not have any other foodstuffs at home but potatoes must be available in my kitchen, that's just how much special it is to me. Not only that it has health benefits, it tastes delicious or that you can prepare it in different ways, but it also creates a lovely memories to me.
While growing up in the village, we have a garden where we plant vegetables and we grow potatoes there as well. Then when we come back from school looking so hungry and there's no food at home, as little as am I will just run to the garden and harvest some and cook it for I and my siblings to eat with red oil sauce to quench while we wait for mother to come back and cook dinner for the family.
Potatoes has always been a food that we prepare regularly at home, Even though we are not rich but there is a way my mother creates magic with the potatoes with different recipes and with the right ingredients that makes it tastes so special, satisfying that I love which makes me eat happily and even ask for more. Then my mum would boil it and prepare red oil sauce garnished with enough onions and peppers, this method is my best and it tastes so great, at times she will cook it porridge with beans or vegetables and other times she will fry it and we will eat it as chips. Looking back today and each time I eat potatoes, I will it brings memories how my mother sacrificed to make sure we are fed well and happy.
Another reason why I specially love potatoes it's because it is one of my husband's favourite meal and his love for potatoes is top notch. He loves it when I prepared it as porridge with enough onions and crayfish as ingredients. One thing I love about potatoes is that however you prepare it, this ordinary potatoes will still taste unique, satisfying and I comfortably enjoy them. Knowing that we both love it so much and makes it makes me happy each time I prepare it and it as well makes my cooking much easier and enjoyable. Am so happy how I share the same favourite meal with my husband, it reminds how a simple meal can connect two people together.
Potatoes can be seen as normal food to some persons but as for me it far more than that. It keeps reminding me my childhood memories, my mother sacrificial love, the unity it brings to us as a family and the bond it builds in my marriage. Behind every bite of potatoes, have something to tell me and gratitude for the special people that care for me in life.
In conclusion, potatoes will forever be my favourite meal, they are not only yummy and easy to prepare in different ways but it also connects me with lovely memories. Potatoes will always be one of most perfect common meals that creates the richest stories. Versatile
