One sure way to offend me is to heap a mound of white rice on my plate and then sprinkle a dash of stew on top that won't even go halfway.
This used to serve as punishment for me when I was still a house girl. My madam then would serve me enough rice with very little stew and warn me never to ask for more stew , I would end up eating the remaining rice without stew.
The same thing happened with eba and soup and the soup was hardly enough for the 'swallow'.
As weird as my prayer may sound, I used to pray then to get to a time where I would eat my rice with enough stew.
But I've also discovered that unlike me, there are people who can't eat food with too much stew or soup. If it's so much, they'll end up pushing it to one side of the plate and at the end, it'll just be a waste.
I've served guests who didn't finish up the remaining soup after their eba finished and when I inquired if the soup was not tasty, they revealed they can't eat the soup when the Eba is finished...
I enjoy my stew and soup in abundance and even go as far as eating only soup as a meal.
It's always a delight when I have guests who do justice to their meals and even ask for more.

If i want to eat Eba and soup,i measure 10 teaspoons and make but i need a pot of soup to finish the small eba with..
When i used to cook Nigerian soups frequently,i finished anything i cooked same day...lol
I can manage anything.

ReplyDeleteI can remember always fighting with my sister to give me my share of the remaining soup when we were young.
ReplyDeleteNow, I don't even like soup that much anymore
I want it sparingly too.
ReplyDeleteI push stew to one side when it's too much for my rice and when my eba is finished,no licking of soup,I hate it.
Same here,I don't like too much stew on white rice and I won't enjoy my Jollof rice without little stew on it
Deletedifferent strokes for different folk,some like plenty soup/stew while others like it just enough for their meal. Mrs D you are just one of those that eat plenty soup/stew. I'm sure your madam puts just enough for your meal.
ReplyDeleteI like my soup and stews in abundance please. Especially veggies sauce 🤤
ReplyDeleteI love having a little amount of stew on my rice, too much of it makes the meal uninteresting.
ReplyDeleteAs for soups, I love having more depending on the type.
I love my soup and stew plenty😋😋

I Like Soup but not Stew. I'm not a Fan of White Rice and Stew
ReplyDeleteI actually don't like much stew on my rice.but you see soup? Even after my akpu all I still like to drink the remaining soup.
ReplyDelete*eating all
DeleteI push stew to one side ..don't like too much stew.
ReplyDeleteBut if its vegetable soup or fisherman soup..jeeesu.....load it for me...I will lick it after eba has finished so far it has tiger prawns and chunky salt water snails.
I know a few people who say they don't lick soup. So I would rather ask "Do you like alot of soup" before dishing my hard earned soup. I don't want waste biko.
ReplyDeleteThank GOD for your prayer that was answered
ReplyDeleteWhoever is passing through difficult times
Please be encouraged by her testimony
I loooove my soup, but you see rice and stew, I take very little stew. When I was a kid, I hated stew, infact just give me white rice like that.
ReplyDeleteI like my stew and soup plenty.
ReplyDeleteI can manage eba with small soup but I can't manage rice with small stew.
My husband use to waste my soup before. He would eat and remain some no matter how small. When I started storing it for him to eat on his next swallow meal, the guy buckle up begin lick soup. I hate wastage biko.
I enjoy licking soup when I’m done with my eba, I can lick soup for Africa.
ReplyDeleteSame here oh.
DeleteI love plenty stew.
Then plentiful soup.
But I personally don't like my rice and stew in same plate.
Me too 😋
DeleteAlways like them plenty ☺
ReplyDeleteNow that you mentioned it,I'm not even sure how I like it. Maybe enough soup/stew to enjoy the rice or swallow.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up my mother tormented us with vegetable.she would cook a little portion of yam and pack the whole of oyinbo vegetable inside d yam.when she is done cooking she would dish d food out and sit with her cane.i dear u not to finish ur food and u would get d beating of ur life...it has affected mi so badly that I so hate any food with vegetable.u can imagine mixing ugu leaf with ewedu,water leaf,bitterleaf,okra etc inside one tiny yam
ReplyDeleteAwwww I can imagine.

ReplyDeleteI don’t like much stew on my rice even soups. I love moderation.
ReplyDeleteI like mine moderate... But if it's vegetable, more please..
ReplyDeleteI so love white rice when the stew is in abundance. But give me eba or semo to eat and i will never lick the soup after finishing the eba
ReplyDeleteI love plenty soup/stew😍😍,I do enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI like my soup and stew plenty. When the stew is small and the rice plenty, I will eat the rice that is proportional to the stew...of course the rest is a waste
ReplyDeleteI like my swallow swimming in soup!!! And I like my stew with plenty rice too
