THE FLAVOR OF IYAN AND EGUSI

In my homeland, a dish of delight,
Iyan and egusi, a taste so bright.
Prepared with love and care,
With traditional flare.
A properly made dish of joy,
Iyan and egusi soup, a special ploy.
The smell so aromatic,
The taste so euphoric.
Iyan, so fluffy and smooth,
Egusi, so thick and soothing.
The two come together,
Like a match made in heaven.
The love and tradition,
So special and so true.

Iyan, made from yam,
Grinded and mixed with water.
Egusi, the sauce so bold,
Made with palm oil, so gold.
The cooking process so intricate,
The flavours, oh so exquisite.
Once served on a platter,
With the side dishes to scatter.
A meal so cherished,
So divine and nourished.

In the rhyme of iyan and egusi,
I see a story, oh so blissful!
A dish of heritage, a dish of pride,
Of culture and of family ties.
The dish brings out the best in me,
A smile, so bright, for all to see.
Iyan and egusi, a taste of love,
A feast that fills my heart above.
So delicious and so divine,
The taste, so sublime.
The meal, a joy to behold,
A pleasure, so untold.
Each dish a work of art,
Each taste a sweet surprise.
