Traditional food are those food that has been in existence since even before we are born. This set of food has its origin and natural health benefits. Sometime they are not found anyhow unless ordered or from the place where it is eaten as normal food. The most traditional food I like is Ugba(OIL BEAN).

What is your all-time favorite traditional food and why?

This is our traditional food as Africans expecially the Igbos. It is prepared in any traditional occasions in my village though it has gone viral overtime because of how delicious it is. This food is called UGBA OR OILBEAN This food is my favourite traditional food.

What is the most surprising or unexpected ingredient in your traditional food?

Before eating the oilbean it will be well cooked,when is soft it will be kept for two days for it to ferment. When is fermented is ready to be eaten. The surprising ingredients i like for the preparing of oilbean is potash, utazi leaf and stockfish. This ingredients brings out the sweetness of this food.

If you had to describe your traditional food to someone who has never tasted it before, how would you describe its flavor and texture?

The green leaf which you must see in this food is bittersweet which is good for the stomach, the green utazi leaf can help the first timer to control running stomach because some people who eat this food for the first time reacts to the potash used.

The flavor of this meal is very organic, it tastes so natural and sweet making your mouth oily because the oil is not cooked but heated.

If you could only eat one traditional dish for the rest of your life, which one would it be and why?

Choosing any food the health benefit must be considered. I choose this oilbean because it is very healthy to our body system compared to other traditional food. Here are some reason that could make me eat only this traditional dish for the rest of my life.
