| cooking unripe plantain porridge with goat meat |
I can comfortably eat this as my breakfast, lunch or even dinner.
When cooked with goat meat,
unripe plantain porridge reminds me of how in my local community,
this is a traditional breakfast meal.
Cook this with bush meat and it gives another wonderful yummy taste.
With smoked fish, you just end up over stuffing your stomach against your wish.
