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.

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

One careless night

The antelope is badly wounded right in front of the hunter, it can live again, only if the guardian angel smiles again... (Photo credit: Geo Wild) I randomly remember how my mom forced Mount Zion movies on me that year, but after the incident of the other day, one famous movie of those folks rings true in my head. One careless night. Just so we’re clear, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never understand this post; it’s a personal rant that will chronicle several events, and, while I am putting this in the public space, I still advise you to stop reading from this point. Omo! These are the days I prayed against, but it is what it is. I remember that beautiful Sunday. The indecision at first nearly ruined the script, but I saw the value of resilience. I remember the jokes about the green dress that looks like a 2-Sure promoter uniform. LOL, the aura was special though. It’s been a long time; something was off, and despite P.O. ringing in my ears, I still ran into the ditch. It was e

One hellish year and my one and half legs

This has been like a home recently but, the goal is to get stronger when it gets tougher. I'm fighting to win. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) I remember promising Bukky (formerly the Peridot of BR, now the Peridot of UK) that I'd write a lot this month; it definitely won’t be every day like I did last year, but I’ll try, and here you go. To start with, it’s been a tough year by all standards. Not sure there’s ever a year in which I felt half as much physical pain as this year; 2019 had the inglorious award until 2023 pulled up, and here’s me hoping I’ll never have to see a more painful year than this one. The past three weeks have been the toughest. I spent more days with the physiotherapists than at work, but I am probably the strongest human I know. I am not giving up anytime soon, but the pains better ease up before I do something crazy. Yesterday was the International Day of People Living with Disabilities. It should be a public holiday, but while I wasn’t physicall
