FLex Your View and Remember To Share....
Concoction Rice: This era of tomato scarcity takes us right back to our university days when concoction rice was just a meal but a quick and affordable means of survival.
Pasta: When its spaghetti or marcaroni with satchet tomato and grounded pepper, onions, oil, spice and seasoning and fish or egg or meat, you have made yourself a plate of this delicious looking meal. Let tomato go and sleep jor.
Asaro (Yam Porridge): As yummy as this looks and tastes, all you need is Yam, Fresh Pepper, Dried Shrimps, Bulb of Onions, Palm oil and Salt and Seasoning. Not a ball of tomato Almighty.
Plenty Rice And Very Small Stew: This is the normal Sunday Dish in most houses. Because you can’t afford to waste the small pot of stew that cost you a fortune to make on one lousy plate of rice. Man must save for rainy days.
Coconut Rice: Because you don’t want to back to your village empty handed, all the name of trying your hardest to cook a pot of stew or make jollof rice with fresh tomatoes, you absolute opt for coconut. Its delicious and pocket friendly
Egusi and rice
Eforiro And Rice: Nigerians are good survivors and since a plate of rice and stew these days could make you bankrupt, you quickly switch to rice and every other Nigerian soup and they taste nice.
Rice And Beans Concoction; Yummy and pocket friendly with no tomatoes. Just beans, rice, salt, seasoning, vegetable oil and grounded pepper. Hahahahaha!!!
