Esusu delicacy!
Asusu or Esusu, this for me means the same thing, although, I prefer to say ESUSU!
Esusu is a corn meal delicacy that is very common in Abia state.
Any Abiriba or Ohafia man or woman will tell you that this meal is a delight any day.
Asusu or Esusu depending on how you pronounce the word is a combination of maize or corn, fresh or dry pepper and salt, including some seasonings.
The combination is blended into a puree and scooped into small esusu, banana, plantain or moimoi leaves before being steamed over moderate heat.
When the meal is set, a plate of ugbogoro or ugbooo soup is served alongside the meal. Let’s visit the kitchen and prepare the soup!
