That's their office. You dare not try shit with Efik woman's pot.

MajorOvakporaye:
So that the animals for inside the soup no go disappear

Enn214:
Why is it that they don't allow people to serve themselves once the pot of soup is involved... But if it's beans or rice, you are allowed to serve yourself..

Is it the meat they are protecting??

Ammishaddai:
You're still a kid. Once your beard starts coming out come back and tell us whether there are restrictions

Buddha3:
Not entirely true though.
My mother never dished us meals. Whether it's because she ended up with four boys and no female, I'll never really understand but we all dished our meals directly from the pot whenever we wanted, whether in her presence or otherwise.

So I didn't exactly grow up knowing much about restrictions when it comes to food.

InfernoNig:
It's not easy to cook soup and go to market all the time. Them dey tire ni. Beside soup things are expensive.

SimplyFacts:
Unlike rice, beans & others, most mothers don't cook soups just to be consumed a day, so they might not want people close to it to avoid sour taste or making a mess of it. When some people go near a pot of soup, you may lose appetite due to the way they would make a mess of it; perhaps in their search for the biggest meat or fish. Well, this assertion of mine does not apply to every home sha. In our own case, we get irritated easily (we don't eat outside even on visits), mum inclusive, so she may force you to finish the soup alone if you make her lose interest in it.

mariahAngel:
That is because ite ofe (soup pot) is sacred.

For me, I prefer dishing all foods I cook myself than having people serve themselves.

Davash222:

I like eating with 4 meats garnished with kajad okporoko. Take note when serving, please.
