PALATABLE
Not sweet
Blame it on soup
All beans soaked in water
Not sweet
All bean in paste
Not sweet
Did I said it went on heat
Not sweet
Did I said, it became a cake
Not sweet
Did I said, you can only add water
Not sweet
Did I said, you can add salt too
Not sweet
Did I said, it is native
Not sweet
Did I said, knowledge involved
Not sweet
Did I said, then all they had was salt water and fire
Not sweet
Did I said, it is my mum's
Not sweet
Did you used the stew, you can't have Ekuru without stew
Fish went first into the boiling oil
Then tamed a taste which was lost
In goes tomatoes and pepper
But the smoked fish went in first
Taste it now
