Jesus, those Nigerians just love to mix seafood with meats! Why cant you eat them separately? What is OGBONO seeds?!

[AfroFoodTV]

@Terezush Thanks for your comments.

1.The reason for the seafood-meat combo is the resulting dish is flavorful and savory which is necessary because the staples it is served with is usually bland.

2. Ogbono are seeds for an African bush Mango. It is usually used as a thickener for various stews and has a mild nutty flavor and is absolutely delicious! It is also known for it's weight loss properties.

Thanks for watching and keep cooking!

Thanks for putting this video up. You are the only one I've found on YT who's made Okro soup this way (the Eastern Nigerian way), just the way I grew up eating it. Brings back memories & has reminded me how to make it. Thanks for this and for your videos. They are very informative & authentic. Keep 'em coming!
