pounded yam and egusi, a Nigerian delight,
A culinary fusion that brings pure delight.
Yam, pounded to perfection, smooth and divine,
Egusi, the star ingredient, a taste so fine.
In a pot, the egusi seeds are ground
Blending with spices, creating flavors profound.
Tomatoes, onions and peppers unite
Simmering together a symphony of delight.
The pounded yam soft and fluffy, takes it's place
A perfect companion for the egusi's embrace.
Scoop a piece and dip it in the savory stew
A burst of flavors, a journey anew.
This dish, a celebration of culture and traditions
Bringing people together with every rendition.
From the first bite to the very last,
Pounded yam and egusi, a flavor blast.
Let your taste buds dance, let your heart be fed
With this culinary masterpiece, a joy to be spread.
So savor each bite, embrace the delight
Pounded yam and egusi, a true culinary highlight.
In grandma's kitchen, a place so dear
Her hands move with love bringing flavors near.
With every pound of yam, her strength and grace
she creats a dish that takes us to a special place.
Her egusi soup, a secret recipe devine
Each ingredients chosen with care and time.
The aroma fills the air, a tantalizing scent,
As grandma's love for cooking is truly evident.
Sitting at the table, we eagerly wait
For the taste of her masterpiece, worth the weight.
With every handful tears of joy may flow
For grandma's cooking a love that truly shows.
In her warm embrace we find solace and care,
Her culinary creations, memories we share.
Through the flavors and aromas, her love does shine,
In every bite, a taste of grandma's love so fine.
The aroma dances, filling every nook,
as she stirs the egusi, like pages of a book.
Her meals,a testememt of loves sweet embrace,
Leaving us with full hearts and a smile on our face.
