Food can be defined as any substance consumed to provide nutritional support and energy to an organism. It can be raw, formulated or processed and consumed orally for health, growth or pleasure.
Food is also mainly composed of lipids, water, carbohydrates and protein. There is no way you can live for a long time without getting the right proportion and quality of food needed for the body.
The preparation of food goes a long way. Despite the inflation, scarcity, shortage and high prices of food items, eating well-cooked food whether you are hungry or not guarantees good health and nourishment for the body.
The 8th Lagos Studies Association (LSA) Conference was themed "African Identities: Peoples, Cultures and Institutions in Motion".
The 2024 conference was held at the University of Lagos from June 24, for 5 days. The conference brought together academic and non-academic practitioners to share their research and projects about Lagos, Nigeria, and Africa. It was a time for scholars to connect and network especially at breakfast, lunch, and dinner table, not forgetting how the food was served by unique chefs.
For breakfast, scholars had delicacies of their choices, such as: yam, sweet potatoes, fried eggs, fish sauce, bread, eggs, beans (ẸĚwĂ ĂgòyĂŹn), oat, Akara, toast bread, and tea.
At lunch: Chinese rice, Jollof rice, Fried rice, Pasta, Amala, Ewedu, Gbegiri, Obe Ata, Eba, Ogbono soup, Vegetable soup, Egusi soup
At dinner: Yam porridge, Coconut rice, Jollof rice, Eba, Egusi soup, Ogbono soup etc.
During the Award night, it was a time of bonding, sharing of ideas, exchange of contacts, dance, and merriment, and of course meals and ASUN were not left out.
All meals could not have been digested without eaten without water. LSA made sure that they satisfied all attendees with rich food.
Food is quintessential...
