koolchicco: What? Surely u Jest.!!!!, Koolchicco u really must hate me!!! I did not succumb to defeat!! Men in general are forgiven if they cant cook, (in any case, they quickly learn when they get to Uni or college to the folks in the USA.) With Girls its a whole kettle of fish. My versionBlack eyed beans soaked overnight and peeled the next day peeled beans blended until paste and scotch bonet pepper added with onions dried crayfish and maggi and salt to taste(all blended) Oil added. steamed in pressure cooker for 1.5-2hrs (I dont have any Pyrex dishware so i use foil) lol Potu's Ingredients alone was questionable. He tried to give the Moi Moi a make-over by adding Lobsters and Salmon but failed to realize that the dish is simpicity at it's best. LOL He used powdered beans, that's like asking what the difference is between instant cofee and coffee beans. Or Potatoes boiled and mashed vs instant powdered mash, (dont get me started!!!) The only problem with mine is it lacks Mother Africa's touch!! |

Mr. Koolchicco, Hopefully, you have received my email. x2 plus 4 equal zero, means that x is an imaginary number. Please don’t get anybody started. I am not into any palava. Just respond to my email, and very soon you will be soaking in beer! |
| Re: Just Doesn’t Taste Like Moi Moi! by LadyAnn(f): 9:20pm On Oct 03, 2009 |

| Re: Just Doesn’t Taste Like Moi Moi! by koolchicco: 9:21pm On Oct 03, 2009 |
@LadyAnn Am sorry If you felt bad,honestly I do not hate you!However I apologize without reservation. You see,Maturity is the ability not 2 lie but at d same time not 2 say the truth. . . .Potu is my friend and He made me an offer which I couldn't refuse hence my support 4 his culinary reign herein. |
| Re: Just Doesn’t Taste Like Moi Moi! by Potu(m): 10:50pm On Oct 03, 2009 |
My problems will soon be over! My eldest sister in Bern (Switzerland) highlighted my nostalgia hence the need for moi moi; when she brought to my attention that beans was available in powdered form. Hitherto, I thought to make moi moi I would have had to soak, peel, and then grind black-eyed peas. I certainly didn’t have the energy for such tomfoolery. She has volunteered to fly over next weekend and show me how to do it. What will I do without a ‘big’ sister? I love you sis! |

Gamine: Please what does *smh* mean? I am her first baby, and she feels for me. After all, she started it (she told me about the bean powder). It is only fair that she finish what she starteed (lol). |

As long as it looks like Moi Moi, and smell like Moi Moi, that is good enuf, who defines what »Moi Moi ought to taste like, is there any dictionary that tells us what it ought to taste like, give that to some hungry kids and they will munch it with ease  |
| Re: Just Doesn’t Taste Like Moi Moi! by TOYOSI20(f): 4:13am On Oct 04, 2009 |
^^^^yup, . . . . i sooooooo agree!  |
| Re: Just Doesn’t Taste Like Moi Moi! by Potu(m): 5:51am On Oct 04, 2009 |
Fhemmmy: TOYOSI20: In a sense you may be right. However, look at it this way. I have had moi moi at home and at parties in Nigeria. I have come to have a subjective sense of what moi moi should taste like (emphasis on subjective). The moi moi I made just did not match my expectations. I have been made to understand several things that I did wrong. Some of them are that: 1) In an attempt to enrich the moi moi, I over enriched it and destroyed the taste. 2) Many of the ingredients I added were plain wrong. 3) the utensil I used in cooking the moi moi was plain wrong, Pyrex dishes subtract from moi moi taste. And, 4) I should probably had learn to crawl before I started walking. Nevertheless, my experience has been enriched by my failure; and the numerous invaluable advices that I received in nairaland. In many ways, my demise has brought laughter to many. When I told my elder brother about my culinary endeavor with moi moi; he laughed until tears rolled out of his eyes and he almost fell off a stool. Whereas my brothers thought my attempt was hilariously funny, my sisters were very empathetic. Bar none, they all volunteered to come from distant places to help. In all of these, I even ended up making a friend. In my failed attempt, I have enriched myself and others. A child may not have know difference in the moi moi; but knowing the difference has enriched me. |

LadyAnn: Nairaland, Nigeria’s largest web community; is enough to make one erroneously assume that the responder is a Nigerian. Hence the assumption that a Nigerian woman who makes moimoi that does not taste right will make an “astonishingly beautiful ex-wife.” But, since you are not a Nigerian and having spent only six months in Nigeria, the premises for Potu’s assumption is faulty. However, since you are not a Nigerian you also failed to realize that Potu’s profuse apology was not because he called you astonishing, or beautiful, or ex-wife; the profuse apology was actually because you are not a Nigerian. You will make an astonishingly beautiful ex-wife is an ‘Old-School,’ joke among Nigerians. It does not imply that you are astonishing, or beautiful, or single, or wife: it means (in this case), “go learn how to cook properly.” Which would have been a proper advice for a Nigerian female who cannot prepare moimoi that taste right? In Cambridge, I fondly remembered an English girl who returned from a visit to Nigeria ecstatic. She told us, “OMG, every man in Nigeria wanted to marry me!” Poor thing, I hated busting her bubble. In the part of Nigeria she visited; what she deemed a marriage proposal is simply the men’s way of saying, “we appreciate your visit.” It did not mean you should start fitting for an engagement ring. If you want to successfully mingle with Nigerians, learn to read between the lines. |

netotse: ThiefOfHearts:B.T.W. netotse "not saying its not true" should read "not saying it’s not true" A very intelligent African woman! His bothers laughed off his predicament with moimoi, but his sisters did not; that is the characteristic of intelligent African women. For over one year, I cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner, and delivered or had them delivered to my baby sister in her college dorm. In her school, the meals are billed into the dormitory fees; but she claimed she did not like the food. I was not ready to have anybody disturb my parents back home that she could not study because she lacked food. When my baby sister first came to the U.S., I made her redo her entire last year in high school before applying to college, so that she can get use to the American system of education and make some friends. From that, I knew my sister ate all types of junk food. So, for her to tell me that she did not like food from a prestigious Ivy League school meant something else was wrong. She has just started her sophomore year, and finally told me why she would not eat the school’s cafeteria food. On her first day as a freshman student, she innocuously flirted with an African-American gentleman, who was a dish-boy in the cafeteria. The poor gentleman misunderstanding the nervous-flirt of an African child pursued her for a relationship too vigorously. Feeling guilty that she may have unwittingly contributed to her own demise, she stopped going to the cafeteria, and shifted the burden to me. After more than a year, she discovered the gentleman no longer works at the cafeteria; now she is ready to eat their food. I knew fully well that something else was behind a girl who eats every junk in the world telling me she did not want cafeteria food. However, I quietly helped her weather the storm. Now that the storm has broken, I could steadfastly lecture her. You don’t hide your unclothedness from the person whose hands you are going to die into. If something is bothering you, blurt it out anyway that you can; I love you more than life itself and I am more that ready to share your psychic pains. Potu’s sisters are not running to him, only for the sake of moimoi. They are coming to find out what else is wrong. The poor lady is probably thinking, “My baby brother suddenly has this dying yearn for moimoi, something is wrong; and I am going to find out.” That is an intelligent African woman for you! |
