My favorite food from childhood was "Rice" this is bcos we eat rice almost everyday while I was young ,going to school,either it's prepared along with stew or cooked as concontion because where will I see jollof, lol, nothing like jollof in my mom's dictionary then oo,but her concontion rice was delicious and okay by us then ,that makes me so much like Rice , so I thought that is my best food, throughout my school days ,if I'm being asked my favourite food ,I will say it's "rice"
My answer didn't change until one day I wasn't home,went out for decoration work,we had to start that work two days before the event because it was huge and we've got less hands. First day went, we ate junks through out ,the second day went also like that but we were able to get rice this time around but that is when reality started setting in for me.
I just started craving "swallow" like my body is now telling me that I haven't had a Swallow I was able to eat swallow the next day ooo that was when I realized how much I love swallows, even my body system is used to it that when I don't eat within two days it's sends message to my body to feel down.
What got me addicted to swallow is the "soup " even though swallow is my favorite,once the food isn't nice ,I will lose appetite straight away.
The fact that we have many delicious soup for swallow is the reason why I live swallow, don't think I can eat a bowl of Eba or a bowl of Amala ,no I take little swallow with lots of soups.
Swallow reminds me of home, a lot of because I remember our every dinner then was swallow ,we either eat eba or Amala with love,one plate ,one big family. Swallow will also hold a special place I'm my heart.
