Adun

What we know so far

Aadun means "sweetness" in Yoruba, but the snack is savoury: dried white corn ground to flour, toasted in a dry pot until it turns colour and smells nutty, then worked by hand with palm oil, salt and ground chilli until it turns silky and holds together, left to rest a few hours and wrapped in small parcels of moi moi (thaumatococcus) leaf. It is sold on the street and handed out at naming ceremonies and traditional weddings, where it stands for the sweetness and goodness the name promises. Some cooks add fried red cowpeas. It needs no cooking beyond the toasting and keeps for weeks.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
