I, Christy, complained a bit about the food when I first came to Nigeria from Cameroon. It all seemed to have a similar flavor. Honestly, I never thought I'd get so excited about sakwara (pounded yam) and "soup" (sauce that you scoop or dip your yam into). Surprises of surprises, I about wanted to hug the cook upon my first yummy bite. (No, it's not because of baby Yoder.) I actually missed Nigerian cuisine. My husband never agreed with my evaluation of the food, so he always looks like this when he eats sakwara...it's his favorite.
