DeleteThe mashed beans and sauce called ewa agonyin. She didn't get the sauce which is usually fried till it's very dry.

ReplyDeleteHa google is your friend o! This is a meal cooked by Lagosians on Good Friday. It is cooked with a special kind of beans (black beans), coconut oil/milk, spices ati bee bee lo. Because of iabundance of water bodies in Lagos and the solemnity of Good Friday, Lagosians accompany it with fresh fish stew. It is very tasty and real Omo Ekos love it and cook it.
ReplyDeleteI love the history behind the food and I love how some Nigerian tribes make adjustments to their traditional meals to mark the significance of the God Friday. I learnt yesterday that apart from meat, the Tivs do not eat yam in any form on Good Fridays.
DeleteCatholic Tivs you mean @Aboki
DeleteI'm Tivs and I ate meat yesterday
Then what's the name of the meal, that's the question??
DeleteOkpa and Chilled Sprite on my mind
ReplyDeleteStella this is food from Eko Isale people to mark Good Friday. Mashed beans cooked in coconut milk and pepper. This food was brought in by some returnee slaves from Brazil and Cuba that settled in Lagos.

ReplyDeleteFrijon is a meal my dad cooks for us every good Friday.
ReplyDeleteThis food sweet die. We used to eat it those days on 'Good Fridays' when we were members of a Cherubim & Seraphim church on Noble street, Alagomeji, Yaba, Lagos.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this before
ReplyDeleteThis meal Frijon is made from beans and eaten on Good Friday when Christians fast from meat. I think the beans is blended and cooked with ingredients including sugar I believe
ReplyDeleteIt is not about traveling abroad and taking pictures of a happy meal in budget fast food joints. You have a country rich in history and diversity and even things as basic as cuisine eludes many.
