All About
RESPECT OUR CULTURE AND STOP TRANSLATING THE NAMES OF OUR CUISINES TO WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW.
Akara Is Not Bean Cake,
MoiMoi Is Not Bean Pudding,
Abacha Is Not African Salad,
Garri Is Not Cassava Flakes/Flour,
Akamu Is Not Pap,
Eba Is Not Baked Cassava Flour.
Respect Our Culture And Stop Translating The Names Of Our Cuisines To What You Dont Know.
After All, You Buy Pizza And Spaghetti (Italian Names) And Call It With Their Italian Names...
So Why Not Leave Our Akara And MoiMoi To Bear Their Original Names, So It Can Tell Where It Originated From anytime Foreigners Sees Them.
If A Friend From USA Or UK Asks You What You Had For Breakfast, Lunch Or Dinner. Tell Him You Had Abacha, Eba Or Akara And Akamu.
And If They Dont Know It, Let Them Google About It. After All, Thats Also How We(Africans) Read About Their Food On The Internet too.
Telling Them You Had Bean Cake Or Pap, Doesnt Mean You Are Exposed And Educated, It Only Shows How Inferior You Take Yourself And Your heritage.
