• Nigerian Yam and Egg

    I never understood the logic of feeding children yam and egg on a school morning. Yam makes me super sleepy and less productive. If i settle down to eat yam regardless of the time of the day, you can guarantee I won’t be doing anything useful the rest of the day. Somehow this was the breakfast we grew up with. I guess it fits into the category of eating breakfast like a king. You must have heard of that proverb, eat breakfast like a king, dinner like a pauper. I can’t exactly remember how we eat lunch. Maybe like a queen? For those that live outside of West Africa, I recommend going to the african store to get the yam used in this post. The regular grocery store yam won’t work for this or maybe it will 🙂 I went all fancy and had my yam and egg with a glass of wine because I had it for dinner so sue me.
