There is a kind of positive and happy atmosphere that good food brings. The mood becomes a good one because the food comes with a good and satisfying taste and what more can bring a good mood if not getting what you want and be satisfied at the same time.
food plays a bigger role than just giving good taste but also providing nutrients, energy and finally keeping the immune system healthy.
Food is a basic requirement for energy, food is needed to live, people who no longer stay in their cultural environment, cooking and eating food from their origin keeps them connected to their culture. food is connected to culture.
Do you have a favorite food in which the thought of it just makes you salivate and all you want to do is to have it at all times because each time you eat it brings a satisfying taste and a good mood?
well, that's how pounded yam and vegetable soup makes me.
A local dish with a unique and satisfying taste that can be simple and a bit demanding of energy to prepare.
As simple as boiling of the yam can be , it can also be demanding of energy when pounding is needed.
pounded yam is a local food with a smooth and unique taste mostly eaten with vegetable soup.
pounded yam is an example of starchy local food commonly called swallow.
pounded yam is gotten from yam class of root and tuber crops dug from the ground and pounding of yam is a popular method of preparing yam.
THE PROCESS
mortal and pestle is need likewise enough energy to pound into a chunk that if a blender is not anywhere close then the local way pounding is required though it seems like the pounding adds additional sweet taste but that just because it a belief.
Before pounding the yam, the tubers are required to be peeled and sliced to different sizes and then rinsed to be placed in a pot with enough water to level the yam

Boil till the yam becomes soft then pound continuously till it becomes soft with no lumps left then grind with the pestle against the mortal for further smoothing that way all lumps are eliminated to make the pounded yam more presentable and delicious to eat.
Then the final product is served in a ball-shaped with vegetable soup
The taste of pounded yam and vegetables is always sweet and mouth-watering.

So when I want to, I do it at a restaurant.
It is always a delicious combo.
