When I was younger, when asked what our best food was, we said fried rice and chicken with salad. It was every child's favourite. Or, should I say, every one of the kids I knew then liked it. You would not balme us. At the time, compared to all the other meals we had, this one was a rarity. It was mostly during events that we ate it. It wasn't until a year ago that I even had my first ever home-made fried rice.
Then, as we grew older, our taste buds readjusted and our choices changed. Now I haven't met anyone who picks fried rice. Who would even believe that I go crazy about yam?
I can be very picky. Actually, I am very picky. A number of meals that every other person might like, I run from. My taste is a little irregular that even as I'm not sure what my best-of-the-best meal is, I know the foods I could eat all day, all week long
Yam is that one food. You know, i had it for dinner yesterday evening while i was reading theough this prompt. It was a coincidence that i came across this prompt just yesterday while having...yam. I stared pleasantly at the meal. It's my mum's best but my dad is the one who spoils me the most by always gettingvsome when am home. Always! Irrespective of cost. And although I don't remember when I began to enjoy it so much that I could have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it's just 'the one.' I'm sure I thrashed the food when I was younger....that's a lie!
I couldn't have.
The versatility of the meal is what gets to me the most. It goes well with too many other dishes, can be prepared using different methods and can be had alongside different sauces. Just niceeee!
Simply, give me yam all-day, every day and I would not grumble.
Then, fruits.
Avocado! The one and only. This is just the one fruit I could never go tired of. First, you consider its banging body and flawless yellowish-green color. Very mouthwatering, enticing stuff. And the taste? Divine! Talk of that creamy, butter-like taste. The way the fruit melts in my mouth and how it excites my buds is beyond good description.
The best part? It goes well with practically every meal; from rice, bread, garri, oats, Spaghetti, name it. Whatever its paired with always bangs.
You don't like avocados?? Chai, what a pity!
Finally, drink of choice
I ordinarily would skip this third option but for the sake that my close paps would usually tease me about my supposed likeness for one drink especially, which is Yoghurt.
It's creamy, yummy and healthy. Great for gut health and as a probiotic. I don't have a favourite brand though, I could do Habib yogurt today and Nutri-milk the very next day. Just depends on what's available and cash at hand.
So, there, you have the one food, fruit and drink that I could have all year round and beyond without growing tired.
Thanks for gracing this post.
