Happy weekend, everyone! I'm happy to meet you all again in the comments to discuss our topic of the week.

For me, one of my favourite street foods is Bole and fish. I don't mean "boli" asin groundnut and plantain o. That is the poor photocopy.(Don't come for me, please!🙂) I mean, bole asin roasted ripe plantain, fish, pepper sauce, and utazi. This is arguably one of the best street foods in Nigeria, and I can defend it any day. The taste is heavenly! Then, when you add roasted yam or potatoes to the mix? You're already in heaven! I recommend it to anyone looking to try local street foods when they travel to the south.

My second favourite street snack is gala, as we normally call it. And I mean, the old gala with the red pack. Why I love it? You can eat it with almost anything. I eat gala with beverage, ice-cream, soft drinks, fruit juices, etc. It's just one of those snacks that's irresistible. If you don't like gala, you might be bad vibes.😂

Lastly, the street food I wouldn't love to try is Ewa Agoyin. I think the excess oil is already off-putting, so I just have a closed mind around it. Maybe something will change in the future or maybe not.🙂
@soma18, What are your thoughts on this topic?

It's okay if you don't like having street food. Honestly, I think it's safer not to. But if you can prepare it at home, great!

I'm glad you like bole. It means you've got a nice taste.🙂 I love suya as well, but I've tried to reduce my level of consumption since I found out it's not really healthy. I also don't think you're boring with food. I just believe you haven't tried enough!

Yeah, you're right

I haven't actually tried enough food
I'm too rigid with what I eat.

Happy weekend to you as well. How's it going over there?

Damnnnnnnnnnn... You successfully bursted my brain. That's indeed a street food perfect to serve as one's favourite. I wasn't expecting to see utazi among the ingredients though 🤔.
Either way, I'm already salivating at the thought of it.

But I'm not really a fan of street food. Snacks are just okay but when it comes to meals, I tend to stick to homemade.

I equally love gala as well. The exact one you described, lol and also the super bite product.

My weekend is going just fine. It started out boring, though, but I'm sure tomorrow will be better.
I know why you didn't expect to see utazi.😂 I also hated it too, but for a while now, I've noticed how nice it is when added to bole. Don't worry, you might get here someday, and you'll start enjoying it. Lol.

Super bite. This was my second favourite. I'm so glad to know you enjoy it too. How did your day go?

Mine started out busily but that equally means that it will end stress-free. Just like I want 😉.

Utazi is one bitter veggie I know but then again, when balanced and garnished pretty well, it's likely to switch to the opposite. Can't wait to have a taste.

My day was quite productive. A lot more than I had planned out but smooth 🙂.

Nice! I hope it ended with you hugging your bed o. You deserve all the rest you can get.

I hope you get to try out bole with the utazi sometime soon, seeing that you're not close-minded. I'm happy your day was productive. I hope you have a lovely weekend.🤗
