Today I am having one of my new creations but cant talk about it until i have tried it out cos it sounds like something better imagined.
I am also having Muesli bomb..that is if i can chew it all.
Food will be supported with my usual Omelet.
I am a late eater and I always skip Lunch.
Now to the Okro soup ish...
Okro soup is my favourite and was quite shocked to read that some guy in Port Harcourt cooked a pot of okro soup for 500 naira...Is this possible at all?500 for a pot of ones fave food?
if you were given 500 naira would you be able to cook a pot of okro soup with it?sounds incredible!
We're done taking pap and fried meat
ReplyDelete*Larry was here*
Enjoyment minister. Happy Eid dear, where's my meat? I love meat hennn!
DeleteIgbo's do say "Ejighi Ahuhu anya isi" and that means;YOU DONT BOAST WITH POVERTY..kikiki
DeleteBut irrespective of that madam stellz;i can tell you that i can cook okro soup with that #500..
Okro-#100
Fish(Fresh fish)-#200
Pepper-#50
Maggi-#10
Salt-(Always in the house)
Vegetable(pumpkin)-#50
Onion-#20
Total-#430
This are the basics,and any other thing needed to cook the soup is probably at the kitchen..
If the money is up to #1000,i can prepare the family "okro" soup;cos it would contain all those smoked fish,stock fish and other small orisirisi..lol!
Speaking about Okro tho;the moment Nigerians or Nigerian traders who deal on foodstuff know the health benefit of Okro to man;it will be the most costly vegetable on planet earth..hehehehe!!
Eating okro till the season is off..
Good morning everyone!
@MARTINS ABOY
@martin, fresh fish 200? I hope you mean ICED FISH
DeleteStella I love okra soup,infact I made it for dinner yesterday for me only! I ate it with Agidi.
Okra is cheap and you can get for as low as #50 sef so it's possible to make okra soup for 500. Mine was costlier a bit coz I bought 2 smoked fish for #700 (yes I love smoked fish)and okra #50 #ugu 30,other ingredients,I have at home. Okra is bae and it's cheap now.
And my breakfast this morning is my leftover okra soup....hehehe
DeleteMartins browse about okro well o... It can reduce sperm count.
DeleteIt contains Gossypol,a harmful anti nutrient.
Martin you no dey cook with crayfish ni?.and as a man,one I is not good for you.latest research has proven that it causes sterility in men.and it further stated that the seed of okro is being used in developed countries in preparing sterility drugs for men as a means of family planning.so pls trade softly
Delete@Amanda,yea its Iced-fish..no vex,na night school i go and im learning gradually..#smile
Delete@Beloved;i know dear..read the reports some months ago here..thanks for the reminder
@Creamy crystal;i dont like the smell of crayfish in food,and even if i wanna use it;it would be too minute..
Alldsame,i have grounded crayfish always at home..
About the sterility issue;i know about that..and from current research(from a trusted and recognized research facility) the pros of Okro is more than the cons..
Thanks alldsame..
@MARTINS ABOY
LMAO 😁 night school #ifihear
DeleteI don't believe okra can cause sterility in men #my opinion
Our forefathers have been eating it and they were fine and even breeding like chicken
I like the ibo adage you used, Martins. My brunch should be okro soup.

DeleteOkro 50 naira
Periwinkle 100

Palm oil #50 naira ?
DeleteAmanda favour yes oh palm oil 50 just saw it right now. Someone is buying it in front of me.
DeletePalm oil milk cup is 130 at market price... because street sell for 150
DeleteSo I wonder how oil 50 will be?
For me, I'm the kind that loves my soup or stew (soup especially) full of obstacles and stumbling blocks else, I don't bother so, not sure I can make a soup for 500, maybe 1k least. If money no dey, I will make indomie or jollof or something else.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast today hasn't been decided but guessing indomie with sausage.
Am I the only one that didn't get sallah food? And I was too lazy to go to the ones that invited me over
Rice and stew for breaky.
ReplyDeleteWith some ingredients available at home, it possible to make such soup.
Martins just analyzed it and if not fish,you can use meat instead.

Barracudianusaurusunamon - Hi, guys. It's me again. ( :
ReplyDeleteNow, let me fully explain something that most of us are subjectively missing. Firstly, the amount isn't what counts, but your love for it; one can aactual cook it less than that price and still enjoy it so much more than someone who spends way more than that. The feeling of euphoria you get when you eat from what you cooked and you enjoy, the ideal is spending more than that buying Tiko, pomo, turkey, chicken, fish, etc. all in the same food is an added advantage, but still, we love what we love, no matter how small or big.
Self-sufficiency and contentment is real happiness, plus, did you know my favorite food actually cost less that 300N, LOFL. (:
Cheers.
Yours Blogospherially.
Q.E.D
I can oh,in ekiti here,you can get fresh fish as low as #100,fresh panla fish.
ReplyDeleteI ate fried noodles for breakfast
I parboiled the noodles,drain it in a sieve.
Fry my tomatoes and pepper with onion,runner bean and carrot.
I added my noodles seasoning,stir then pour the noodles and stir.
If I don't cook noodles that way,I will get tired after few spoons.
Stella its 100% possible.
ReplyDeleteBut not with My oha soup ooo. My cow leg, cow bolokos alone cost somuch.
Stella,i will be having my oha soup today with nri Ede!So yummy!
Where are the muslim faithfuls in the house? Una don finish the ram? Even ate the bolokos join? If you have not waybill it for me here.
Well I don't know for other places. But I'm more than sure you can use that amount to cook okra soup in Kano and still have balance. It depends on one's residence.
ReplyDeleteFor some people mentioning garri, the question is whether you can cook okra with five hundred!
#Two wrongs can't make a right
Stells what is sooo shocking about cooking a pot of okro soup with #500?
ReplyDeleteI can prepare it with less sef. I always have palm oil, maggi, salt and swallow at home.
Smoked titus fish-#250
okro-#30
ugwu-#20
Fresh pepper-#30
crayfish-#50
ponmo-#50
Total-#430. E no even reach #500 sef.
Okay
DeleteI made beans porridge and dodo for breakfast.... So delicious.
ReplyDeleteFor lunch, I'll be making okro soup with fish and assorted meat. I haven't decided whether to pair it with pounded yam or Eba.
But wait oh... #500 for a pot of soup in today's Nigeria? 😱😱😱😱 I guess it depends on the area sha cos iced fish alone costs more than #500 here.
I licked egusi soup this morning by 6am, now i'm eating toast bread with 7up instaed of tea. Cos the aboki mama is celebrating sallah so no tea for me today. Enjooyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
ReplyDeleteStella it's possible to prepare a pot of okro soup with N500 if you've already got your cooking fuel(kerosene, firewood or gas).
ReplyDeleteMeat or fish - 200
Okro - 50
Pumpkin(or hot leaf) - 50
Crayfish(d tiny ones)- 50
Maggi - 20
If you don't have pepper and salt in the house, then
Pepper(dry) - 50
Salt - 20
TOTAL - 490
I was surprised when a friend told me she can still get N20 worth of salt.
Haven't decided on breakfast yet. There's egg in the house, so I can either just scramble it alone or I could do potato chips with egg sauce.
Lol
ReplyDeleteI am eating oats with milk and sliced boiled banana
Xp love, tell Nma I miss her.
Stella Ukwu sugar, I am not happy Atheist is not commenting, although I totally dislike some comments he makes about Christians. If you want to be an atheist, please be one without criticizing Christians. Honestly, I wanted to follow Atheist line and quit commenting on your blog, you can be very annoying and some days, you wouldn't post my comment (comment that is not controversial) but I am not a fucking sissy. Btw me and you, you will have to stop posting for me to stop commenting except I am super busy or I get bored .
KING XOXO MYSTERY
For me,it's not possible.periwinkle alone 400,okro150 fresh pepper 50 stock fish 400 dry fish 500 crayfish 100 uziza leaf 100 .fufu 100.Thats how I cook my okro.so #500 is a no no
ReplyDeleteWith other ingredients at home yes i can prepare okro soup. Bread and tea for breakfast this morning
ReplyDelete#Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side of the fence because it's fake*
ReplyDelete@Amanda favour and Beloved, yes there's 50 naira palm oil. They use the tin tomato cup to measure it here in yenagoa. So it's possible.
ReplyDeleteOh okay...
DeleteStella IF IT IS TRUE>>very possible and if you are smart, change go remain sef..I dont play with Okro Soup And Afang..My dad made me love okro soup..Oh lala!!
ReplyDeleteI can NEVER cook my own okra with 500 naira. Cowleg, meat, ponmo, shaki, prawns, smoked fish mustcbe in it. I spend between 5k - 8k cooking okro. No time for 500 naira boring/dry okro soup with nothing interesting in it.
