I've Always Been A Good Cook

avatar


Source

I won't use the word "Great" instead of "Good" even though I know deep down that I'm a great cook but to avoid any argument or such, let's leave it at me being a good cook. So I've always been a good cook and I still remember how my family and anyone who have a taste of my food compliments me especially my younger brother.

Although, that guy loves anything food (I still put his compliments on the highest rank) and my dad hardly gives me the credit my meal deserves even though he eats and finishes his meals to the last spoon. Then on the days he compliments my meals, you can imagine the star feeling I would have.

Alright it's confirmed that I'm a great cook sorry I mean a good cook, so what exactly happened?

So I decided to prepare one of my favourite soup for the 100th time, the Nigerians will know the soup (Egusi soup). I hate eating alone so when I have to cook and eat alone, I buy a lot of things inside that one meal to garnish it well so I don't get tired of eating it early enough.

I bought frozen chicken, stock fish, cow skin (kpomo), crayfish, prawns for the small melon I bought, if you know you know 😅 I was so sure I won't get tired of this meal even on the day I'll eat the leftover. I hurried home and began to prepare after procrastinating for like an hour, thanks to Hive.

I hope you're following the story because I'm still wondering what went wrong... I finished preparing my meal within an hour, cleaned up, took my bath and settled down to enjoy my delicacy.

Trust me when I say I ate a lot without even thinking about the fact that I'm alone eating, although there was more than two chicken cuts in my serving 🥲 that was a reason and also, the food tasted so good (I patted myself for showing my skill one more time).

It was in the evening I prepared and ate the food, the next morning I woke up feeling pressed to visit the toilet. I'm not sure I've said this before but just in case, I'll say it again... I rarely visit the toilet, it seems my body wants to use all the food I eat to grow fat (I'm believing on that, don't argue with me please).

But that morning, the toilet was the first place I thought of when I woke up and I came out feeling relieved and good... I decided to have my breakfast of that same soup again (the taste is still very memorable in my head). Later that day, I visited the toilet again.

I knew then that something was definitely wrong somewhere...

Was it the food? No way! I'm a good cook, or was it the fact that I ate too much? I doubt that too, I never eat too much... My too much is someone's tiny part of their whole meal. I decided to call mum when I started to feel my stomach go strong and giving me pains.

Mum's a nurse, she would help me out on what the cause could be... So I thought.

After the call, that nurse lady successfully tagged my deliciously cooked soup as the cause of my problem. I refused to believe her even though I agreed with her on the phone. She gave me some prescriptions to follow so it relieves me which I did and it worked but after eating my soup, it comes up again.

I had to accept it, my soup was bad for my health... But I've been cooking this same meal for a very long time now, like I said, this one must be the 100th time I prepared it so why was it different from the rest?

Well, I made sure to eat out all the meat and other chewables inside the soup before I complied with mum to throw the food out (I can't come and waste my money just like that). And I did suffer for eating those before throwing the soup away, visited the toilet for a total of five to six times in three days thanks to the delicious soup.

A post from @balikis95 reminded me of this incident and I promised her that I'll share my experience with bad food (this one didn't taste bad like in her story but it was bad for my health).

So guys, I need your contribution on this... What exactly went wrong for my meal to show me such disrespect?
Note - I would give responses that would favour the questionnaire if I were you.

Hehe😂😂 I guess we would be in big soup if the answer doesn't favor you.. Mehn this was hilarious, I bet the food was too good for your stomach and the toilet just needed your company so badly🤣🤣...

Sorry, you had to throw it away even after eating the valuables in it😂😂.

Thanks for sharing and honoring my request in being tagged.❤❤

😂😂😂 There are days like this too because I can´t figure out what went wrong. A friend gave me Egusi soup yesterday and told me how her fiance watered the soup all in the name of warming it. Thank God no one stayed with me because I would have used the horrible smell from my fart to chase such a person away 😂😂 Till now, I am still farting and polluting my lovely room.
Wait! Did you say you added those ingredients... Maybe that was the cause of your constant visiting the toilet or the Egusi itself. No one knows!

Mum said it's the Egusi that wasn't good, well maybe I can take that as a reason because it can't be my cooking skill that was at fault 🥲

Please, excuse your lovely room when you want to do it 😂😂😂

Who else would want to throw away the meat inside the soup...
Bad soup isn't a bad meat, it's the soup that's bad not the meat 😄😄😄

Running stomach is caused by lack the digestive mechanisms required to digest a specific kind of food. Your meal contains protein, carbohydrate and fats which are supposed to be digested into the subsequent Amino acid, sugars, and fatty acids. Now there are enzymes assigned for the digestion of each of these seperate macro molecules but to cut the long story short you had a deficiency in one of those enzymes which let to the indigestion. So your small intestine has to collect the undigested molecules and because it cannot used it like that, it began to cause havoc instead of good. If you had continue eating the meal you will continue to visit the toilet and you will find out you are loosing weight and energy because the undigested food will continue to drain water from your body which results to the frequent purging...
But not to worry, maybe at the moment your body just failed to produce those enzymes for proper digestion but it will some other time and you will not have to visit the toilet after having your delicious egusi soup 😄😄😄

P.S: ASUU has been on strike so I miss reading my books for a long time, so I suggest you give me just 30% believe okayyy😄😄😀

🤣🤣😂😭 what a wonderful one, but you sure sey the egusi done well (are you sure the melon was fairly cooked)? Looks like it's the cause, because there is no enzyme for not fully ready melon😎.

Hmm, you found out you were not a great cook after all 😂😂, but why did you not throw the meat out too? Hmm, you knew that it was not good for your body but long throat nor gree you rest, lolz.

Well, it might still be that the food was really that good and that was why it had to purge your system and make you go to the toilet because like you said you don't visit that white house too much, hehe.

I'm happy you later felt okay oo, but at least you know that you are not even a good cook 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

We know you're more than a good cook. You're a great cook but whoever tastes from the food eats at his own peril😂

Almighty chief chef, I hail thee🙌 She don add ginger, garlic, paprika, parsley, lime, soy sauce... Well-done o!!😂😂😂

Just made me remember the melon soup I prepared for my brothers a few years ago. Ah! We could not sleep that night. The fart they were releasing like album was a hit back to back. Never again,😂

Maybe your system needed deworming sha. Who knows. Good thing you ate it alone😒

PS: I'm on your side. Egusi soup just has too much pride🌚

Hi @merit.ahama I was reading very carefully and #hive came to my mind, well you sure lasted a long time because of the platform and you got full of gas, another may be that with the age you have you no longer favor those foods. The other thing is that one or more flies were made from that stuff you left in the bathroom. It could also be a bad move of destiny ha,ha,ha,ha

eating the items in the soup, then throwing the liquid away, will have not helped you. Your illness will have been caused by an ingredient which was contaminated in some way. When you cook the ingredients together, all the dish becomes contaminated.

Any cook can be caught out with such an event, but if it happens again throw it all away and don't risk your health over the price of a pot of soup.

ahhh, we'll never really know for sure.
It could be almost anything... some germs got on a knife, or the surface you cut on?
Perhaps the shrimp was bad? Spoiled meat? we will not know for sure.

the only thing we know for sure, is that you are a great cook. You've made that same meal many times, and everyone loves it.

YOU, mylady, are an amazing cook!

Good cook gone bad… should that have been the title to this 😂.

So you cooked yourself a delicious poison. Assuming I was there I would have ate more than that… or assuming you were more with the meal then it would be a perfect conclusion..

I would also see if I could give my experience on bad food too.

In my country Venezuela, we call a mixture of various types of food "sambumbia" and generally, sambumbias send us to the bathroom. Perhaps the sea foods could be the cause of the bad time. But at least you got another taste of how good a cook you are. Greetings.

Maybe the sea food, it's definitely not my cooking skill 😌

You are not only a good cook, but if you like sambumbias, you are also a good eater. It really is a compliment and a kind of recognition of that good way of eating. Keep enjoying and cooking rich.
