I feel butterflies in my tummy whenever I talk about my favorite food "not like I'm a foodie though" but then food is an essential of life it is a necessity, food brings excitement to my soul and you know what happens when I eat my favorite meal, guess if you can well if you can't "I feel on top of the world" hehe!!.
People always "Water is life" Don't be scared cause I'm not here to argue that but what I want to do is rephrase the statement to my taste and that would be "Food is life" There was this day we were asked a particular question, I don't know why I don't seem to forget that question.
The question "Pick an item you can't go a day without and the items were food or phone" I saw a lot of people picking their phones over food, then I started questioning myself "What could be the reason they were picking their phones over food" I began to wonder " if they don't ever get hungry". I, on the other hand, didn't think twice, the moment I saw the question I knew where I belonged.
To me, food is life, and eating my favorite meal even makes food more live "At that moment I'd feel like I'm living my ninth life". My favorite meal what would it be?... My all-time favorite food is beans and ripe plantain porridge.
The story behind the first time I tried it: one day my brother said he was craving porridge beans " I didn't know plantain was included in the craving" so he asked me to follow him to the local market, at the market he started purchasing the ingredients needed for the meals he wanted to prepare after buying everything, we went home.
He entered the kitchen and started preparing the meals, I noticed the meal was taking longer than expected, I thought he was trying to fry the ripe plantain that's why it was taking so long, so I went into the kitchen to see what was happening when I entered I didn't see the ripe plantain then I asked if he had fried the plantain, he said "no" then I replied, "where are the ripe plantains we bought?" He said it's inside the porridge beans.
At that moment I was shocked cause I hadn't seen anyone prepare porridge beans with ripe plantain before then I told him "This is new," and he was like "You'll like it" I didn't say anything and was waiting to try out the meal if I'd truly like it, after a few minutes the food was ready and served on the table.
When I saw the food it looked very attractive, knowing the fact that my brother is a good cook made me eager to try out the meal, and immediately I dived in. Let me not lie "I asked for more" After that day beans and ripe plantain porridge became my favorite. When I got admission into the higher institution I decided to prepare it for my friend who was scared of the combination but then after trying it for the first time "she loved it" and knowing that she loved it even made me love that combination more.
I will recommend this meal for everyone to try out, that's if you haven't but if you have I believe you loved it just like I did.
