A lot of recipes are needed to come up with a tasty, healthy and nutritious meal such as the afang soup and these recipes includes:

• beef or chicken (preferred choice or even both).
  – fresh or Smoked fish( both can be used).
  – Stock fish.
• spice (Maggi, kitchen glory e.t.c).
  – Periwinkle(as desired).
  – crayfish(well pounded).
  – Afang Leaves(also known as okazi or ukazi leaves).
  – Water leaves.
  – 4-5 tablespoon of Palm oil.
  – Fresh pepper(dried pepper too can be used but fresh preferably).
  – Salt to taste.

• Afang soup is a very tasty, nutritious Nigerian soup, native to the Efiks/Ibibios (Akwa Ibom & Cross river states).

Where and when do you remember having tried it?

My favorite meal I cannot dare stay too long without eating my favorite meal. I ate it about a week ago and I am missing it already.

Add an experience you've had where that food was involved. For example, a trip, a birthday, a party.

At a wedding party in Cross River State Ikom where I sighted my favorite meal at the buffet and I could not help but rush down there to get it. I just hope @belenguerra will also like to taste my favorite meal.

Thank you.
