Dear food lovers, I write to you from the heart of my village (in my mind). I figured it will be a great dishonour to my home town if I continue to feature various dishes from around the world but fail to take you on a journey to the country side, my country side or better still my village. I come from Edo state a.k.a the heart beat of the nation. I will save you the challenge of trying to pronounce the name of my village (trust me, it's a challenge for so many). I present to you one of our mouth watering, brain shaking, finger licking, almost orgasmic dishes, amongst many. This dish is called Òriwò. It's a simple meal of boiled yam, bitter leaf sauce prepared with palm oil and smoked fish or as my yankee people would call it, some yams and a side of greens *in Wanda Sykes voice*. This is my village "comfort food" and trust me guys, it comforts you down to your roots. It's perfect for any occasion, especially those with a native theme. It doesn't matter what tribe you come from, it's a sure crowd pleaser. Stay logged in for more dishes from around my beautiful green country Nigeria and from around the world.
