Food as we all know is the fuel for living to everybody. Immediately a baby is born, he or she will cry out for coming into life and into existence. Then, the next demand from the baby to the mother is food which is the mother's breast milk which God had specifically and specially organized and kept for the baby before arrival because food is a very important part of life.
Vegetable soup and garri is my favorite food
In order words, I love to swallow. In my part of Nigeria, we make quality soups with all kinds of leaves to swallow with all kinds of swallows too. We have garri (eba), we have fufu (akpu), we have pounded yam ( utara ji), we also have the English version of swallows.... Semovita and Semolina. These are all the swallows we eat with any kind of soup we love or that's available.
Therefore, my favorite food is vegetable soup + garri
The vegetable I mean here is the pumpkin leaves (ugu) cooked with either okra, egusi or with water leave which would turn out to become edikiekong soup. In this form, the pumpkin leaves will be the majority and above all others, very plenty in the soup.
Then added with so many varieties of soup ingredients to make it taste good. This is my favorite food, any day, anytime. This picture here's the vegetable soup I made on Friday, we have been eating it. I never knew that there would be a contest about food, that's why I'm using my original home made vegetable soup with several kandas on top to enjoy it...😂. Kanda is the well cleaned beef skin, very nice, it is part of this my favorite vegetable soup I made on my own on Friday, still enjoying it.
Why?
The why here is because that's exactly how myself and my siblings were raise up. Growing up back then, soups and swallows were our steeple food in my family. We grew up in the locals...in the village setting and used to assist my grandma in her farm works, so we must eat very well and very full to be able to work.
Early in the morning, before we go to farm on school free days like Saturday or at the holiday period, even before going to school daily, we will first of all eat properly to get the energy and the stamina to balance well for the day's activities. From there and then, it became my favorite. Nothing more than this associated with my liking vegetable soup and garri swallow.
Although I can also enjoy my swallows with any other type of soups, but my favorite soup is vegetable soup. I do eat rice and stew, jeloff rice, beans and plantains, supergheti, boiled yam, tea and bread but my favorite food is vegetable soup and garri. I just love it.
Food gives energy and stamina for our bodies to balance very well to face the duties of life each day. Food adds nutrition and vitamins to our veins, arteries, bones and into our bodies generally.
No living soul can avoid food for a very extended period of time, else sicknesses and diseases will take over your entire body. That's why even if you are fasting, there are limited time to break it off and eat to stay healthy, through and alive.
