Beniseed Soup

What we know so far

Beniseed soup is the sesame seed soup of Nigeria's Middle Belt, cooked the way egusi is cooked but with toasted, ground sesame in place of melon seed. It is nuttier and slightly bitter, with more natural oil, so it needs less palm oil. The Igala and Ebira call it esa or epi gorigo; in Hausa it is miyan ridi. Cooked with beef, kpomo or snail, bitter leaf and scent leaf, and eaten with pounded yam, eba or any swallow.

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.
