Respect your African heritage in something as simple as food... Others will respect it too.
Akara Is Not "Bean Cake",
Moi_Moi Is Not "Bean Pudding",
Abacha Is Not "African Salad",
Garri Is Not "Cassava Flakes/Flour",
Akamu Is Not "Pap",
Eba Is Not "Baked Cassava Flour"..
Respect Our Culture And Stop Translating The Names Of Our food To What You Don't Know.
After All, You Buy Pizza And Spaghetti (Italian Names) And Call It With Their Italian Names...
So Why Not Leave Our "Akara And Moi_Moi" To Bear Their Original Names, So It Can Tell Where It Originated From anytime Foreigners Sees Them...
If A Friend From USA Or UK Asks You What You Had For Breakfast, Lunch Or Dinner. Tell Him You Had Abacha, Eba Or Akara And Akamu...
And If They Don't Know It, Let Them Google About It. After All, That's Also How We(Africans) Read About Their Food On The Internet too....
Telling Them You Had "Bean Cake Or Pap", Doesn't Mean You Are Exposed And Educated, It Only Shows How little You Take Yourself And Your heritage.
