A Letdown for This Foodie

in HiveGhana6 months ago

Everyone around me knows that I’m a food lover. I love food with all my heart but I’m also very picky with what I eat. When I was younger I would always laugh at my siblings when they refuse to eat because they weren’t talking to my mom. She would say ‘ the food hasn’t offended you , so why won’t you eat.’

Then there’s me on the other hand. Now matter the type of situation I’m in with my mom, I always make sure to eat to my satisfaction. After I’m done eating, we can continue with our silent games.😂

There’s no one on this earth who can tell me they don’t eat. We all eat different kinds of foods everyday based on our preferences. It would be very difficult to find someone in the US eating Fufu. Every country and even tribe has their food and that’s the beauty of food. It is even said that, man must not live by bread alone.Make sure to substitute your bread with pie sometimes. 😅

I love food and I most certainly love trying need foods. But, in all my years of eating, I never seem to understand how and why people eat plantain. I don’t know about others but I personally don’t have a sweet tooth. Also, I don’t see the reason why food should taste like a sweet. I think plantain shouldn’t be classified as food but rather a snack if you ask me. Plantain chips makes sense but plantain with rice, c’mon.

I’m always surprised when I go to buy food with my friends and they all manage to buy plantain with most of their rice meals. Waakye with plantain, plain rice with plantain, and even beans with plantain. Can’t be me. I have tried so hard to like plantain but I just can’t get myself to enjoy it because I find it to be too sweet. The only time you would find me eating plantain is when I really don’t have an option because if I did , I would never opt for it.

I’m sure someone out there would also not like my favourite food and that’s okay. We are all entitled to our own opinions and it’s a good thing there’s always a variety of dishes to choose from on earth. But before I conclude my plantain should be classified as a sweet campaign, I have one question for plantain lovers. How do you do it?


all images belong to me.

Girlie!!!
U dey miss oooo, plantain of all food, even though it's too sweet but my love for it can not be measured.

But that's Life though,one mans good is another man's poison

See who's here 😂😂 after many decades

😂😂😂

Plantain is indeed my poison. Sometimes I feel nauseous when I take it.

First of all why won't I eat because am angry😂.I will angrily eat the food oh boy.

I remember some years ago when I was heartbroken, that day my mom prepared banku, I was in bed for about 30 minutes and still got up and went to eat 2 balls of banku😂

I love food and I most certainly love trying need foods.

Well, I know I don't like trying out new foods. This days i am accustomed to eating what I know and when it comes to something I don't know I definitely don't try it ever.

I’m always surprised when I go to buy food with my friends and they all manage to buy plantain with most of their rice meals.

Well, I for one know that I can take plantain with anything. I love plantain so much. I even know I can take plantain with porridge if it was a good combo in my opinion lol. Why will some not even like plantain? Explain yourself madam.

Who broke your heart for you to eat two balls of banku.😂😂

Can you imagine I’ve been here for over 5 months and I haven’t tried wasawasa yet. One of these days I will try it for sure, let my money come first.😂😂

Plantain with porridge? C’mon.😂😂 unless we put it in the bread for you like koose.😂😂
Come home and I’ll explain

It's not the heartbreak that made me eat 2 balls oo lol.

Oh wasawasa is a nice paaa oo. Just don't buy any random one that you see anywhere or you won't like it again. Ask your girlfriends for great recommendations and you'll love it.

Plantain with porridge? C’mon.😂😂

That's how much I love plantain lol.

I don’t have girlfriends . It’s only you I have, unfortunately.😂

Sorry for you.😂

Ah this girl😂

😂😂

You said what?????😦😦😦😦😦

I mean you can’t eat beans and plantain?????😦😦😦
Let me get over my shock and come back
I get that plantain is sweet so what about sweet potatoes? They should also be snacks?😂

😂😂any food that is sweet, count me out. I don’t even like yam even though it’s not sweet.

We all have our preferences like you said, but you are missing a lot, my love for plantain can pay a lady's bride's price if only it could be converted into money😂

Can we convert it to money already? We can share, 50/50😂

Hahahah.. you and money😹😹 oyana, drop you bank details 🤣

On my way.😂

Wait, so you mean to tell me that you don't like plantain🥹. Wait fess let me blow my nose🤧
Oya back to the topic. Since it's too sweet, id recommend you try half ripe plantain. It's not as sweet as the fully ripe ones, and also you should try unripe plantain,It's not sweet at all ( the more ripe it gets, the sweeter it becomes)
Search for Kekefia on YouTube and you'll see different amazing recipe. I'm sure you'll love plantains after trying the porridge .

😂😂😂this one you’re trying to convince me like this. It would take more to get me to like plantain.

But I’ll try, for your sake.

I'm sure you'll love it 😂😂.
Aww thanku, I'm looking forward to your review 😅😁

Herrrrrr! My mouth is still opened trying to comprehend what you just said🤦🏽‍♀️. I don’t even have the words for you.
Ahh. I can’t believe this. I can’t say much because you added the fact that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but this particular opinion of yours is stressing me out.
What do you mean you don’t like it?

Okay, please tell me what your favorite is

😂😂my favorite is banku or fufu.

I guess this case is settled now.

Okay. I will accept Banku🫱🏾‍🫲🏽😌

😂😂😂
