RICE
MIMI GIOGIO.... I went back to back in days while I was still in BENIN and you
have these women Hawking this hot rice early in the morning wrapped in Broad
leaves, stew cooked with bleached Palm oil. The difference with the Ofada stew,
(Ayamase) is that Ofada contains a lot of IRU( locusts Beans seeds) and this
does not. Ummmmm sunset for me this evening in BENIN with this yum.
Oba
Ator kpeeyeeeee iseeeee.
