RE: How I prepare my Oto mboro ( Unripe banana porridge)

in Hive Foodlast year

First time I've seen this dish, although its appearance reminds me a lot of Indian food.
I'm curious when you talk about the fattening room, what is the function of fattening the maidens?

Sort:  

The fattening rooms is a ritual that is undergone to gain right-of-passage into womanhood. Before now, It was mandatory for every respectable, well-bred,young woman.
It helped young women to be physically, emotionally, mentally and socially prepared for the roles of a wife.
Though some parts are no longer paying cognizance to those things anymore.
During this process, the lady us stopped from working, playing or activity beyond eating.
During this process , there are also skilled matrons who are assigned to massage and tone up her muscles and to give the body high flexibility. Also physio therapeutic conditioning that would prevent stretch marks and other things during the procedures.

That's but a few things about it.
