Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale. - Elsa Schiaparelli
Food is one of the most important essence of life which kept every living thing on earth going, be it human, plants or animals, we all needs food to keep staying alive and as well acquire the necessary energy to partake in activities, a study shows that man can't live without food for more than 2 month if there are water intake within those period, but without water intake, it will then lead to dehydration, weakness, pain, failure of organs and finally death.
I believe this is one of the reason why Oxford dictionary defines food as;
any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink or that plants absorb in order to maintain life and growth.
So this leads us to the reasons for this article, that's the features topic for the 3rd edition of the @hive-learners week 3 topic, which ask us to talk about our favourite food;
This can be any food at all. It can be a local or foreign dish. What matters is that you just love eating it. Tell us why you love it and how it is prepared.
To share your opinion and share your info about favourite food, you can as well post about it in the @hive-learners Community, until then kindly go through details about my favourite food below.
MY FAVOURITE FOOD
Personally I don't have a favourite food, as in almost any food goes for me, though I have some food I don't like eating due to one reason or another, but so as to play along with the Basis of the topic, I'll love to share my favourite swallow food, which I love and could take with any soup aside and draw soup.
SEMOVITA
Semovita is a swallow I love taking because it's easy to prepare, and because it doesn't exhaust my strength each time I eat it, unlike the way I felt whenever I took pounded yam or Amala, it's also nutritious and a good source of vitamin for the body.
HOW IT'S BEEN PREPARED
Your measurements should be based on the amount of people you are preparing it for and how tick or soft you want it to be.
- First you'll boil some water.
- Once the water is boil, remove about a cup of water and place it aside.
- Add small quantity of the Semovita flours into the boiled water and stir around it and mix together with the water, then let it boil again for a minute.
- Add the remaining quality of your Semovita flours into the boiling solution, and mix together till it's as form to your taste of softness.
- Place it back on the cooker and add some of the water you kept aside earlier, then let it boil for a minute.
- Mix it again together, and your semotiva is ready to be served.
Below are some pictorial process of how I made mine.
EGUSI SOUP
Egusi soup is one of my favourite, which I usually take with my semotiva, though I also love taking it with just stew too, but I dislike any draw soup, be it okro, ewedu or ogbono.

It's still something, you should be proud, there are men who can't do any of it.
Swallow can never be underrated. It is required to hold down a person and keep the strength up. I know some people that cannot go a week without having swallow. Not me though...
As long as there is money, I don't mind eating swallow at all.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
That's absolutely true, swallow is capable of feeling our stomach more than most of this continental dishes, and it's something I love as well.
