In my country, Nigeria 🇳🇬 we have different tribes and each of them have their own traditional food. So mine is the IGBO's tribe that's the eastern part. Our traditional food is white soup. We called it " OFE NSALA." it can go with any kind of swallow 😋 of your choice. This soup is well-known in igbo land and it’s expensive. The reason why it's called white soup is because there's no plamoil in it.

SHARE THE STORY BEHIND WHY THE FOOD IS TRADITIONAL IN YOUR COUNTRY?

This soup is a special delicacy that has been served on different occasions like weddings, traditional marriage, new yam festival, and other celebrations. It's too special and expensive. Like i said before, you can't see this OFE NSALA in some restaurant. It is not an ordinary soup that you can just wake up and decide to make.
