I love to try new things most especially food but I love to try it out at home. My house has been my home testing lab. You know what I mean incase anything wants to happen things like food reaction, allergies and the rest there will be familiar people to take care of me. But this time around there was an exception to it. I enter my friend's room only to find her cooking something catching although it was her tribe native food but it look so attractive to me then I asked her the name of the food and some other questions she told me and with my incessant questions she decided to pick a pen and note to write down the ingredients and procedures involved, I actually met her doing it, it wasn't hard for me to get the procedure.

After all said and done the food was ready and I was served on a normal day I will package the food home to eat being my first time, but this time around I decided to eat it right there in her house. Honestly speaking , I enjoyed the food and I enjoyed myself.

On getting home I decided to share my story with everyone at home and how it went, my sister said she is going to deny me if anything happens but God so good nothing happened, the truth of the matter is I hardly react to things that was what gave me the mind.

Two weeks later I was back to school and a close brother called me that he was around my school and they needed a direction to a place. They actually wanted me to follow them while showing them the direction which I obliged.

On getting there it was an introduction ceremony and I was shocked I wanted to stay outside but I wasn't permitted so, I stayed inside looking at them and observing as the two families were discussing. Finally it got to the time to eat. I forgot to mention that my friend was from a different tribe so there food has nothing in common with ours. The family set the table and told us it was time to eat.

We went and sat on the dinning chair then, a lady came to tell us what the have prepared and luckily for me she mentioned the same food my friend thought me and gave to me I was so happy I mean the joy in me was so much that I didn't allow the lady to finish the statement before I took that as my own order. Every other person go for rice I was the only odd one out but I was happy I had another privilege to eat that food again.

After she left my people turned and looked at me in a very strange manner and said did I know the food she mentioned with my shoulder raised I said yes. That was how they start to grumble and laugh at the same time but seriously I didn't mind them.

When the food arrived I devour it like an hungry lion. This time around the food was more ganish than that of my friend and even more sweeter. After eating and we where set to leave I practically became the topic of discussion on our way. What they use in making the food is what we in my tribe use to put in cloth to give it some stiffness when I told them the ingredients and preparation they shouted because they never thought people could eat such. To us it was a useless thing but then to them it was a useful food material.
