Sunnybobo3: I made this some days ago

whitecat007: Maybe because we set the standard you all are measured by. You even started your comment with Yoruba word and then singled out an "Efo Riro" out of all other stews/soups here . Is it because you know the your now "Edikaikong" was not originally yours? Ikokore was even made recently, with some leaves tossed in it and wahla! It Was called something else.

The Edikaikong I have tasted once about 7yrs ago in Riverdale and have seen many times at mama calabar restaurant and others in Atlanta was not inviting enough for me to want to try it again. The closest plates to pictures on this thread I've seen is that of Efo Riro.

This is not soup, this is stew.

Soup- a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc., in stock or water.

Stew- a dish of meat and vegetables cooked slowly in liquid in a closed dish or pan.
"lamb stew"

Aitee1: If it is the fresh soft leafy pumpkin that you used then it's definitely not edikaikong that's normal vegetable soup that you cooked

I won't argue with you,I guess u r not from efik-ibibio speaking community or maybe in Diaspora

Sunnybobo3: I made this some days ago

jmaine:

There is nothing to argue cos that is the truth . . . . Efere Ikong ubon or Nkong is the same as Efere Edikan Ikong . . .Confirm . . . .

ideepaul:
Lemme tell you what I know. In Akwa ibom we have AFERE EKAEKA which is prepared with older pumpkin leave and water leaf just the same way AFERE NKONG is prepared,except that nkong needs the fresher pumpkin leaves...When it comes to EDIKANIKONG, you will still need the fresh vegetable and water leaf.The difference is that in EDIKANIKONG, the amount of water added is near Zero and oil is the main liqiud in there,even the meat has to be cooked till it absorbs all the water...it is abit more complex in cooking and very expenaive. unless u want me to cook the three types for you,I won't explain more than that
Just humbly ask your granny or maybe if you have money,go to Le-meredian and ask them for edikanikong...what most guys eat in all this so-called calabar resturant is NKONG soup

WARRIBLOOD: feel like to puke

Forget the long story abeg, It is practically the same thing . . . . Nkong, Ikong or Edikan Ikong is an expensive venture if you want to make it very palatable, cos it consumes a lot of ingredients to make it thirst unlike Afang i.e oil and crayfish. . . .

Guy, my mum is Efik and I was also given the Efik treatment where there is no difference between a male and a female child in Kitchen affairs . . . All children irrespective of Gender are expected to be great cooks, so I know what am saying . . .

What you have in most Calabar restaurants are poorly cooked Eferi Ikong or Edikan Ikong due to the cost people are willing to pay. A reason why the more powerful dishes of Edikan Ikong attracts premium prices.

As a matter of rule, I don't eat Edikan Ikong soup in most low budget restaurants due to low quality . . .

Brother you are saying nothing but the truth. I also agree @ the bolded .
