Four (4) contestants participated in the Friday foodies contest. These are their articulated entries
First Contestant, Entry 1
The first contestant was my 14-year old @farida. She prepared a very lovely meal- pounded yam and vegetable soup.
The Yoruba's from Western Nigeria popularly call the soup efo riro. All those who tasted @farida's food confirmed that it was really tasty. Alongside the food was fruit juice made from oranges, pineapple and coconut. These are tropical fruits which we have in abundance in Nigeria. Personally, I love coconuts and pinneaples. Anything prepared with coconuts would suffice. This little niece of mine, @farida, never ceases to amaze me. Without bias, she presented her food very well. Check out the procedure for food & beverage from here.
Second Contestant, Entry 2
The second contestant was @bekky. For the contest, she prepared Yam-Egg snack with zobo drink.
In a unique way, @bekky prepared the yam-egg snack. Instead of the very popular way of boiling the yam separately and then frying the eggs or boiling (because some prefer that method). The meal was made by first dipping the boiled yam in the whisked egg before frying.
To accompany her food, @bekky prepared zobo drink which I miss so much. The leaves of Hibiscus sabdariffa, popularly called zobo in Nigeria is a very heart-healthy drink. Those leaves contain a particular phytochemical- flavonoids. These are powerful antioxidants that help mop up free radicals that ravage our bodies. Recent research reveals that zobo drink can help reduce hypertension and cholesterol. So, my recommendation would be that all Nigerians drink zobo more often. Read more from @bekky's post how she prepared her meal.
Third Contestant, Entry 3
The third entry was from @fiscie. Indomie and hard-boiled eggs was presented for Friday foodies contest.
Fourth Contestant, Entry 4
Last entry, but not the least was from @lizbethk. This pretty young lady presented two short video clips , where she was making vegetable soup efo riro.
I am quite impressed with the innovative way of the use of videos for Friday foodies contest. Bravo, @lizbethk! You are a pacesetter in this regard. The only little challenge is that instead of @lizbethk placing her camera in a horizontal manner to record, she did her recording vertically. I believe that she is smart enough to fix that next time.
Okay, now is time for us to nominate and select winners. Let's begin the process.
@bekky nominated for 1st place by @dragonson & @cwen
@farida nominated for 1st place by @trendyevents & @eugenecr7
@lizbethk nominated for 1st place by @greenrun
Congratulations to @farida & @bekky!!! They'll both get $4 upvote, since their posts were very good and 2 Steemians nonimated both of them for 1st place. The 2nd place I'll give to @lizbethk. She'll receive $3 upvote. The 3rd place goes to @fiscie and she'll get $2 upvote. No 4th place winner, because of the nature of this particular contest.
