MY MAMA CHERISHED BITE
In the ancient town of my fatherland, Obio Efik,
Where pumpkin and water leaves are freshly picked,
Gastronomic joy fills the air, vibrant and sweet,
Transmitting from farm to plate, a culinary feat.

A journey brings me back from afar,
To savour the aroma of Edikan Ikóñ, a shining star,
From Mama's little kitchen, it wafts and twirls,
Leaving my taste buds yearning, my senses unfurled.

Secret recipes, cherished and shared,
Through generations, love and flavour paired,
Natural ingredients waltz and delight,
Crafting tastes that stand the test of time.

Time-honoured dishes, inducing salivation,
A table set to honour tradition and celebration,
Embracing our heritage, our cultural embrace,
Each bite cherished, till the last morsel I chase.

Every taste brings forth a joyful bliss,
A star shining brightly amidst the nighttime abyss,
Each dish tells a story, a divine legacy,
Nourishing body and soul, transcending history.
