One of the meals I like eating lately is unripe plantain porridge. This is the meal I never agreed to eat when I was younger.
I remembered one day, there was no food at home and plantain was the only choice left for my mother to prepare for her plenty of children to eat.
Those days we were growing up, any food mother prepared in the morning we will eat it for breakfast and also have left for lunch.
On that fateful day, mother prepared plantain porridge and I refused to eat as usual, she begged and begged and I tried to eat few spoons, I ended up throwing up. Mom cried and was left h3artbrok3n.
No other food to eat. I didn't eat till evening when she was able to go to the farm and fetch some fresh okra 🤣🤣🤣🤣 which is my worse.
I ended up chewing the eba and drank water to step down 🫣🫣🫣
Here below is my new favorite porridge plantain spiced with scent leaves, okpei and ehuru 💋💋💋. Come and eat with me.
