I remember the first time I ever left my home town in my entire life to Lagos state, I hadn't clocked 10years but I could feel the enthusiasm deep in my soul...lol. I was to spend a few weeks holiday with my uncle and his wife.
My aunt been a woman who had lived in the city for a long time cooked less of our local meals and more of the modern dishes. It was during my visit In lagos I first tasted noodles, hot dogs, canned mushrooms and I noticed rice was not just a Sunday meal but eaten almost every other day...that was the best part of my holiday...lol

When I returned to my hometown after my few weeks holiday in Lagos I was quick to gist my folks of Lagos life. I told them how I saw plenty water without ending(i.‎e the beach) and so many intertwined bridges...lol. When I mentioned the hot dogs I ate my dad got a bit inquisitive and asked how it tasted and how it looked like, when I answered his questions he was convinced I ate a dog's tail....lmao and when I mentioned mushrooms he screamed saying mushrooms are poisnous and I should never eat them again, he placed me on a daily dose of liquid peak milk to diffuse the suspected effect of poisonous mushrooms in my body...lmao. When I told him how noodles looks like he was convinced it was a special specie of rice....hahahahahahaah.

I'm still reminiscing here with my sister and enjoying Enugu state, i've had a sumptuous plate of Abacha with ugba and plenty fried fish.
Please keep sharing your childhood experiences and what you ate today.
Cheers! ‎
