I saved the best tweetphotos for last. Most of the groceries I bought with my friend were used to cook meat stew and ila asepo (okra soup). We bought a bunch of goat meat and a head! Goat head, in Nigerian cooking is usually used to prepare peppersoup, after which it is then called ‘Isi Ewu.’
The goat head we bought was complete with rows of teeth and still had the tongue! I’ve never cooked or seen a goat head before, so this was a very fun, interesting experience for me, LOL. For directions & more, keep reading!

Ila-asepo or okra soup is the Yoruba way of cooking okra soup. I’m not quite sure what it means literally translated, but I know it’s grated/chopped okra cooked in beef stock. Another way of cooking okra is to cook it in some water and serve with fish soup, which is then eaten with a starchy mould of your choice.
This would be my second attempt at making this. The first attempt was tasty, but I blended the okra with I guess a bit too much water and it didn’t draw as much. This time, I grated/chopped fresh okra to avoid the prior mistake. For directions & more, keep reading!
