Good day my fellow travellers in steem-travellers community. To my fellow contestants, moderators and admins of this great community I greet you all.

I am happy to take part in this food contest. Today I want to share the food I like eating while traveling to my village in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria.

Water yam pottage (Ekpang Nkukwo)

Water yam pottage is one of the most delicious food in akwa ibom state of Nigeria. it is usually prepared for visitors who have not been seen for a long time. 99% of people in my state love the food so much. but the challenges is that the food is time-consuming in preparation that is why most people do not have the opportunity of eating it so often. And if they visit you, you prepare it for them they will appreciate you so much for giving them such a delicious and nutritious meal. That is the more reason why whenever I am traveling to my village in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria I will ask my mum to prepare water yam pottage for me because I hardly prepare it at where I live.

Even when I hardly prepared this delicious meal at where I live but when I saw this contest I decided that I will make out time to prepare this meal and share the recipe with my friends in this community.
