I’ll be honest, I’m not a picky eater, I eat anything that is available but I like to stick with what I know and what won’t leave me questioning my life choices later. But as we all know, every now and then, curiosity wins. That’s how I ended up trying one of the weirdest food combination I've ever heard of, mixture of of rice and pap.
Yes, you read that right, rice and pap, solid pap. It happens when I visited my mum's place late at night without informing her about me coming. By the time I got there they already eat dinner and I am starving. When I told my mom she said the only food remain is small rice and there is a pap on the kitchen table. When I get to the kitchen, I checked the rice but it was so small, I told my mum that the rice is too small and she said maybe you should add the two together. I was about to start eating when something tells me, "why don't you add it with the pap, this rice can not reach anywhere" and I said to myself, maybe I should try it.
And that is how I ended up mixing the two together, initially I was praying for it not to be a waste but here is the twist, it wasn’t bad like I thought. In fact, it was kind of amazing because the rice stew was sweet.The first bite was apure confusion, I can't get the taste right but after the second bite I can't stop myself from eating more, it is manageable and oddly enjoyable.
I don't eat it often but anytime I see the two together, I must eat, not because it is the best food but because it gave me the satisfactory that I need. It is true that food doesn't always have to make sense, at times it just need to be fun and weirdly delicious.
Thanks for checking on my blog and have a wonderful day
