The Description of Traditional Meal for my Town

We have several traditional meals in my town but I will only talk about just one as instructed by the community. I'm from South South region in Nigeria, we have various delicacies like; Afang soup, White soup, Edikang ikong ( vegetable soup), Ekpang nkukwo and many more but I will share about white soup and its flavor.

White soup is made with yam which serves as thickener and it was originated from Efik tribe in Nigeria. This soup is fast and easy to make with less time consumption. The only thing that differentiate white soup from other soup is the absence of palm oil but it is prepared the same methods in which other red soups are made.

This meal is lovely, yummy and very delicious and one of its secret to the delicious taste is serving it while it is very hot. All the ingredients used in preparing white soup are necessary and most people love it better when goat meat is being used. This meal and its flavors are very nutritious because of the protein in it. Apart from being tasty and delicious, white soup is also healthy. It can be served with pounded yam, fufu or garri when eating.

Do You Think that Local Gastronomy is well Represented in your Town

Yes!, this delicious delicacy is well represented in my town. Every home prepares it and it is loved by many at home or during an events most especially traditional marriages.

The ingredients are easy to find around us, so it makes it more easier to prepare white soup at any given time we crave for it. Each time I have yam and goat meat at home, I never fail to prepare the soup to my taste.
