My Favourite is Egusi soup & eba 😋
Egusi soup is arguably the most popular soup in Nigeria that is prepared and enjoyed by most tribes in Nigeria and beyond.Egusi is made of fat- and protein-rich seeds of certain cucurbitaceous plants (squash, melon, gourd), which after being dried and ground are used as a major ingredient in West African cuisine 🌍. In Nigeria, Egusi soup is one of the most popular soups used for a variety of occasions. The taste of Egusi soup cuts across ethnic groups in Nigeria as it is prepared with different methods. The key ingredient remains the same - Egusi. Egusi soup is often enjoyed with eba (pictured here), pounded yam or amala, and often eaten with the hands. It is believed eating with your hands 👐 makes the experience more enjoyable 😋 than using cutlery🍴.Egusi soup is prepared with melon seeds and eaten by most tribes in Nigeria in many different ways. It is known as "Miyan Gushi' in Hausa, "Ofe Egusi" in Igbo and "Efo Elegusi" in Yoruba.
