I have been treating myself to some of the food I have missed for over 15 years since I was in South Africa, one was the coconut juice I had the other day.
If I am not mistaken we are in the season of harvesting corn here in Benin, the same can be said for Nigeria as well.
The last time I had roasted corn was in Nigeria which was over 15 years ago, now that I am in Benin, I have been seeing roasted corn selling on the streets. It is a street food consumed as a snack, in Nigeria, it is consumed with Ube (purple African pear). I am not sure if they have Ube here in Benin but with or without Ube, the roasted corn is quite enjoyable.
My neighbor called while I was having a nap, a few minutes later when I got up to see her, she offered me roasted corn.
You can imagine my face lit up with a smile thinking I am about to have my first roasted corn in years.
It was hot but I was pinching already at the corn so I eat, I even had my first bite before thinking I should share the photos with you guys.
I had cooked corn in South Africa now and then when it is the season but never had the roasted one from a fire charcoal like it is made here in West Africa.
My snack for today 😉
We owe it to ourselves to make Hive great
