OMG!!! So you mean to say you have NEVER tried ogbono with rice?? You are missing A LOT! I love the combination, I eat it more than ogbono with swallows. LOL. Rice goes with anything my friends, so why not ogbono? Not everyone might like it, but it's one of my best. From a true ogbono fan!!

Hi Nlder,
Living outside Nigeria has given most of us an idea of business we can do back Home.
But the fact remains will Nigerians appreciate such service if been rendered.

Here in South Africa, you can call most of the Eateries on Phone and they will deliver your order to your house or Office.

E.g Debonairs that sells Pizza's, KFC , Nandos and many More.

Just thinking if one can partner with all the eateries and render the home/Office deliveries services for customers who are not able to drive or walk to the restaurant during working hours or weekends.

Sometimes you might be spending time with Families/sick/Lazy to Drive and really want to eat Mr Biggs or Tantalizer but with this Service you can order for food,snacks and will be delivered to where you live.

I really want people to contribute to this and know what you really think.

Just wanna know if it makes any sense or just a waste of time.


Responds and contributions are welcome,

OH, no wonder! Well, when ever you get the chance to eat authentic ogbono, make sure you have some rice on the side, for a change. I honestly do like it, confirmed . More than egusi and rice, sef. If I had to pick, you can guess the one I'd choose .

We-ell, I have never tried okra soup and rice, that's one adventure I don't think I'll go on!! But because I like ogb soup , and I like rice, I can enjoy the combination. This does not mean I will eat ogbono and bread or ogbono and spaghetti o. God forbid !!!!

I love egusi but my favorite is obgono soup.

[i]Ogbono [/i]and rice! Now, that's an adventure.

Isn't it? I'm still sitting here amazed as if I've heard the fountain of youth exists! haha.

Let’s help ogbono catch up. Must be the photocopy versions being sold at restaurants that are confusing people. Here’s a word or two I can recall about traditional ogbono, the king of soups.

To derive maximum enjoyment from the content of a simmering bowl of ogbono soup, two conditions are required: (1) the ogbono must be well prepared (of course), (2) it must be fresh.

What does it take to prepare good ogbono? Well there are technicalities restaurant people won't know about in 1000 years. But before we get into that, let’s examine the ogbono kernels. There are three common kinds of ogbono, aka “bush mango”. The first one is the cultivated kind with sweet edible pulp surrounding the kernel. The second kind is the cultivated kind with inedible pulp surrounding the kernel - the pulp has a very bitter taste and is not usually eaten. The third kind is the wild species. It is made into soup in some places but from my interactions when I lived in Edo State, no Edo woman will knowing touch it with a pole.

No 1 is noted for its drawness. But no 2 has a far superior flavor, tastes better and is treated with far more respect among Esan women. In fact, no. 1 is sometimes made the butt of jokes. But there are people who prefer it. The ogbono kernels must be dryed. Fresh kernels can make good soup but they don’t turn out as good as dryed ones.

I will not list the ingredients here, since people have different tastes. But dry fish is a must. In fact, fish is generally superior to meat when preparing ogbono. Stock fish is wonderful. Avoid chicken – it contains some kind of oil that affects the "heaviness" of the soup. Whatever you do, don’t use onions on ogbono! Be careful to avoid making lumps. And don’t spoil it with too much salt. Leaves are not necessary to create good ogbono soup, but they may be added if desired. Anything from pumpkin to bitter leaves will do. Small is better.

When preparing ogbono, use a clay pot and a calabash ladle, if available. The clay pot gives it special flavor, especially if you know that secret of preparing good ogbono – burning. Allowing the ogbono to burn gives it that extra something. The amount of heat is also very important. Ogbono cooked with inadequate or poorly distributed heat will not turn out well. Thus ogbono prepared with a standard gas cooker will turn out better than that prepared with a kerosene stove, particularly a bad stove. The heat needs not be too much, but it must be adequate and evenly distributed. With the right ingredients and prepared under these circumstances, when ogbono soup is being served, the hosts of heaven stop to look it, smell it and taste it! That is the truth.

Ogbono is best eaten with pounded yam. It must be fresh if you hope to get maximum enjoyment from it. Ogbono prepared in the morning and eaten in the afternoon, for me, is not the real thing.

[i]Ogbono [/i]and rice! Now, that's an adventure.

Yes, one I just undertook a few minutes ago. Yum!! All the talk about ogbono made me thirst for a plate of it. So I cooked me a big pot of ogbono. I like your little Ogbono Essay, @ MyJoe. Yes, the secret of ogbono is to cook it over very high heat, to get it bubbling and bring out its full potential. My other secret style is to heat the palm oil on the lid of the boiling pot of dried fish and pepper, then stir in the ground ogbono into the heated oil, till it melts So it's actually the steam from the cooking pot that melts the ogbono into the oil. When it's a smooth paste, I can then pour it into the boiling pot. The results are always amazing! I cook the ogbono till the soup draws in a straight unbreaking line when you spill it from the stirring spoon.

Basically egusi is the "show" soup, when you want to impress your diners with your colourful cooking skills, as egusi is a very pleasing-to-the-eye dish, with its red oil, yellow egusi and green veg and red peppers/tomatoes. But when you want a healthy, simple yet sumptous meal, then ogbono paired with your favourite swallows is the ticket !!!

I didn't know ogbono was healthy, especially with the oil,  even my mother told me the same. How so?

We need to do something oh, cos Ogbono is still trailing and that is not acceptable

Lol, I have undertaken the experiment and discovered the fact: ogbono is definitely healthier. You need less oil to cook it. Less salt. You could use just fish and it would still come out fine. Also, try eating ogbono with a bowl of pounded yam . You will still feel light, unlike eating egusi with a bowl of poundy . You will have to be carried from the dining table. It just has to do with the components of either soup. Egusi is definitely heavier and thus less healthy. But does it really matter? To me taste is everything, and I choose ogbono, though I still gat love for egusi . But it aint my fave.

[size=13pt]^{Yeah , you're right darling , we really need to do something now . just take a look at the big gap on vote i wasn't expecting such a low rating from peepz. . .you know what? go in the kitchen and prepare a very delicious ogbouno soup okay , please try to adjust your hands this time around during cooking and after done snap a shot and post em on here to that some people would swallow saliva and have a feeling like-- wow!
