People aound me know I love food. Scratch that. I love GOOD food! So I remember when I went to naija and I was just craving everything I hadn’t eaten in a while. I wrote a list of meals to be demolished; suya dey dia, fresh fish peppersoup dey dia, kilishi dey too, isiewu & nkwobi enter d list too.

Na so one day an aunt of mine overheard me saying I want to eat ‘efo’. She kon extend invitation gimme…she raved about how her efo was one in town and na so I just dey lick lips dey salivate. She said ‘come on friday evening’…I have never missed a food appointment in my life; I got there 40 minutes early!

When I reach the house…I was waiting for the aroma of the efo to envelop me in the parlour but I perceived nothing. I tilted my nose to the left and to the right…still nothing. Ah, abi she don cook the soup since put am for freezer? Ok na. An hour into my visit the food never still comot kitchen shuooo. I was pretending I didn’t come to their house for the sole purpose of food. I was watching TV and commenting on how cute their daughter was and how nice the curtains by the window and how fascinating I found that their doorknob was red in colour…I was going on and on about nothing.

Finally the househelp brought kulikuli and Malta Guinness for me…I finished the whole thing. Hunger don wire me. I was saving my tummy for this efo. Exactly 28 minutes later I was invited to the dining. I bin dey count. The meal was covered and I still couldn’t perceive the aroma. Abi na empty plate dey there? I did a mini drumroll in my head and then opened the plate. Brethren…I took one swallow *GULP* This was truly a one in town efo. Ojigbijigbijigbi-bad bad efo! The eba was solid as a rock; each swallow was painful. Because I said I was really famished my dear aunt had doubled the portion of my eba. E don red for me today!!!
Sisi: “aunty ah lovely soup” (struggling to swallow a morsel)
Aunty: “I told you my efo was sweet,” she said grinning like a proud mother hen..
I tried to use cunny-cunny for my aunt but like they say ‘cunny man die, cunny man bury am‘…
Sisi: “Yes oh…aunty shebi I can do take away…this food is so delicious & I dont want to finish it at once”
Aunty: “No oh…since you like it so much, finish it and I will pack a separate one for you to take home”.

Hands on my head…*Ewooooooooooooo*

    Well, she taught you a lesson; which is to cook your own food, eat in a restaurant or buy take-away.

    Didn't you know that your aunt was a bad cook?

    A question no one has ever answered me…why do bad cooks love piling your plate with their bad food? The thing tire me..meanwhile if its real nice food, its never enough…..
