Unusual food combinations, what is you people's problem?

 

How can someone eat this? How do you people come up with devilish food combinations? I need answers. (Photo credit: Google)

Hey people, good to have you here again today. I’ve been on the phone with Ebere for about an hour now and she’s ranting to me about how unhappy she is. Relationship issues will make the best of people cry but I’m not writing about that today.

I mentioned unusual food combinations yesterday and it brings back memories of my days at BR. We had an “idea farm” session where we bantered about several ideas and then we plug them into brands that fit. I didn’t expect how this particular one turned out LOL.

We mulled over a series of ideas as shared by a couple of people and then I asked casually, “what can we do around the nonsense combinations people conjure all in the name of food creativity?” and boom! Toyin jumped on it, KDS bought into it and the rest is history.

Do you know that some people eat yam and rice? Noodles and beans? Okro on rice? Egusi on a yam? Eba and beans? What is wrong with you people? Are you trying to commit suicide? I know about the things boys concoct to drink but food? Are you going through something that needs attention?

I am not great with food, and I cannot cook to save my life, but I know a portion of good food when I see one. I am deliberately leaving out continental options and abroad food (Chinese especially) but what on earth will make you eat plantain and yam? Pap and groundnut, how?

We may have left school long ago, but have we quickly forgotten about a balanced diet? I know fit-fam people and modern-day emergency chefs (including my baby Shima) have thrown away our classic classes of food but how on earth do people come up with the kind of options they combine?

We legit ran a poll in the office and the result was crazy, the kinds of things people eat will make you agree that depression is real, and, for you to know the extent we went, we had a photo shoot for different kinds of combinations, it was for a campaign with GB Foods.

I have my own guilty pleasure though, but I've not had it in a long time. I always put Skippy (Nutella) in my cereal and then add milk and sugar. It bangs more than anything you can imagine but if we ask around, I'll hear it's unusual, so I am tempted to accept I have problems too,

Let me ask you, what weird food combinations do you know? I’m interested. Please balance me in the comment section if you can. Thank you and see you tomorrow.

17th May, 2023 - My darkest hours

Image
One year after her passing, nothing has changed, I still feel pains and, I still have a lot of unanswered questions but, Valar Morghulis - All men must die. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) Yea, it's been one year already, and nothing has changed. I still feel as much pain as I did exactly one year ago, when the darkest of clouds usurped me. When the earth received my mother's body, it still hurts. I’ve tried many times to do this, but it is what it is. What a year it has been. There was no inkling before it happened, so there is no benchmark. However, it’s a different kind of pain, one I don’t wish on anyone. The 17th of May 2023 will forever remain where it is; hopefully, it remains the darkest ever until my dying day. The mood was obvious; Deepsea could tell in the car. Joy sent me a text message to lift my spirits, but calls from Ibadan informed me that my mom was on her way to the hospital. It didn’t take long for me to realize it wasn’t her usual attention-seeking dr...

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed...

Panda's wife and the memories of Tinubu Road

  Happy birthday beautiful and uber-smart Toyin Adepegba, my good friend from Tinubu Road. (Photo credit: Toyin's WhatsApp status) Toyin Adepegba is 40 today, today is also my parents’ wedding anniversary and it evokes some nostalgia from way back. I remember how they celebrated one particular year, that shit made me start thinking of getting married at just 10… Look at me now LOL. This post is about Toyin, a great human by all standards. She was my first friend at Brand Regimen, she knows her job and has this drive that won’t let her settle for anything below her standards. Let me share a few things I copped from here during our days as colleagues. Toyin was the Business Development Manager at BR and later had to fill in when there was a gap on one of the Account Management Team, one measure of her success in that role as far as I saw was how good Joy became as her protégé, that counts for a lot. While I was the lead on decks and strategy plans, Toyin offered solid outlets o...
