Pounded yam VS any other swallow; choose your GOAT.
So this is an irregular topic for the kind of stuff that you have been reading on this blog, but the thing is I just cut my finger while peeling yam for pounding and I could not help but revert to my keypad to rant because that is essentially what this blog is. A place where you can come and say whatever you want to say. So here's a very important thing I want to talk about.
First of all, is the fact that anyone thinks that pounded yam is not the greatest swallow ever invented is annoying. However even if we were to rate any other swallow, I feel it should be starch but no. Some people feel amala is worthy to be put in the same sentence as pounded yam and I feel they should be arrested.
Pounded yam takes a meticulous process to prepare and it is made from yam in it's whole form. It is not the extract of yam (flour) boiled and beaten with a stick that my mom used on me as a child. Pounded yam is made from a pestle. Now if your mom used that on you as a child (she may not exactly be your mom) then by all means you are free to pick another swallow.
What annoys me the most is when some people now compare pounded yam to semovita or fufu or more irritatingly, it's doppelganger; poundo yam. It should never be done. Never!
Like I said in the bio of this blog it may seem smart or stupid, but whatever you do, say it with your chest. I have said mine. Now you tell me, which swallow is the GOAT?

Pounded yam is rather elite. But MY Goat??? Amala for the win. Anyday!
ReplyDeleteimagine this kind talk
DeleteThere are some good poundo yam products though. OlaOla for example is quite expensive because it really hits that fresh pounded yam taste. P
ReplyDeleteThe Iyan is King!!
Btw.. Men that pound..hmmm
Still Amala,Amala wins
ReplyDeleteThe audacity. Pounded yam over any other swallow.
ReplyDeleteThe disrespect. Why would you compare it with any other swallow? ��
Matter of fact I think you're a potential terrorist if you'd pick Amala over Iyan.
RT aggressively!!!🔥🔥
DeletePounded yam is the father of all swallows! About to eat it right now, already feels like heaven��. Semo is not even worthy to be mentioned in the same sentence. Iyan I stan!����
ReplyDeleteYour head is fertile.
DeletePounded yam any day, anytime!!!!
ReplyDeletePounded Yam the greatet!
ReplyDeletePounded yam is king
ReplyDeleteForever more!
Pounded yam is pretty nice. But Amala is king! I'm from Ekiti, so I've had enough Pounded yam to know! 😎
ReplyDeleteyou're not fit to be called an ekiti indigene
DeletePounded yam please
ReplyDeleteAmala is overrated in my opinion
Looking at this Iyan picture is making me hungry shaaa.
ReplyDeleteBut Pounded Yam is the KING!
There's this popular saying we learnt as kids:
ReplyDelete"Iyan lounje, Oka loogun
Ai ri rara nla j'eko
Kenu madile niti guguru"
i.e "yam is food, yam flour heals
When u have nothing,u eat pap
Popcorn is just snacks"
It's a pity some folks in this new generation think otherwise.. Well, they may never really understand!
Pounded yam and mad efo😋
ReplyDeleteIn this life ehn, u must to chop life. And to chop life, u must to chop iyan. Yes!. Iyan funfun nene.
ReplyDeletePounded yam is like one man army. Rambo of swallows. First eleven plus substitutes is pounded yam. The other swallows dinnor come to the field😂. Rep Pounded yam from now till Forever.. Iyan for president!
God bless you fam
DeleteIn this life, if you have never dined with the elite you will think where you eat in the scraps is the best
ReplyDeletePounded yam is for the elite!!
If you think otherwise you should not be found in the circle of wise men
Hehehe, Amala ejoor with correct ewedu! Or semo with fantastic egusi! Iyan is so overrated. It's one of the swallows I'd take though but then it doesn't need this hype. Then it's too stressful to prepare. Eshey.
ReplyDeleteit is no stress if you know the end
DeleteThe actual truth is- pounded yam is hyped because of the unnecessary stress attached to it... A soft, delicate, smooth and lovely Àmàlà is matchless! God should now help you to see Èfọ́ rírọ̀ with it😩😋
ReplyDeleteI'm forced to speak. Everyone saying that any other swallow is better than Iyan is talking in the rubbish. Seriously, have you eaten pounded yam before. I don't think how it's made matters with Iyan, Iyan is good anyway. Seriously, amala to Iyan, abba! Don't vex me abeg. You're vexing me🚶🏽♀️
DeletePounded yam all the way up
ReplyDeletePounded by is a good meal, elite no doubt. Notwithstanding, AMALA is king anyday.
ReplyDeletePS. No alternative of pounded yam, as long as it is not pounded should not compare to these great foods
Pounded Yam anytime, any day.
ReplyDeleteAll those saying Amala, Pupuru of Ondo is better than Amala.
Iyan is Gold, Amala is silver.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the process makes me prefer quick silver 🤕🤕🤕
Pounded yam any day, any time!
ReplyDeletewhen you call the king, it is iyan...call the chief..iyan..call the ruler...iyan...not a single swallow can surpass iyan...amala and ewedu..fine fine...but iyan, egusi, confirm stewed beef, two sachet water...nothing comes close
ReplyDelete😂😂
DeleteSubjecting pounded yam to comparison with other swallows seems like an insult to me. Amala's flexibility is a temptation though, but the king remains king.
ReplyDeletePounded yam has it all day.
ReplyDeleteIf it's not pounded yam, then it can't be anything else
Pounded yam is a god...it remains the G.O.A.T, no arguments abeg
ReplyDeleteAmala is an overrated piece of shit
ReplyDeletePounded yam all the way��
Oinnnn
DeleteI prefer pounded yam anyday. Looks like I'm going to disturb my mom to get me some for breakfast tomorrow 😋
ReplyDeletePounded Yam >>>>>> Any Other Food.
ReplyDeletePounded yam is for the elites. For me, I can eat pounded yam any day, any time.
