Spices are an important part of cooking foods, they have the ability to turn around plain food to become something more delicious. There are different kinds of spices that are made available to people so as to add life and creativity into whatever they make or prepare for whatever occasion. Examples of spices includes curry, thyme, bay leaf, Pepe, ginger, garlic, turmeric, gloves, Maggi,iru and so on.
You can imagine when a Nigerian cooks jollof rice with only salt, it would definitely not portray the signature that brings out the Nigerian Jollof we all claim to be the best. But with the right spices such as curry, Thyme, bay leaf, Maggi etc, it would bring out the flavor, aroma, health benefits and the identity that proves it was made in Nigeria.
One of my best spices has to be pepper be it grinded or fresh, in Nigeria there is a particular specie of pepper we call atarodo, the spice is used in almost all the foods we eat in Nigeria and this is because the aroma it gives when added to that food is always so refreshing and has great health benefits. Pepper can be added to jollof rice, pepper soup, suya, soup, beans, porridge, sauce, fried eggs and so on.
One thing about the Spice called pepper is that no matter the food you use it in you will experience the Hotness of it. In other words pepper represents my personality in terms of being hot and bold, again it might be small but it's serves a greater purpose. Just as we know, humans all have a unique character that is peculiar to them alone, just like the pepper that brings gs about a unique taste in whatever food it finds itself, I am a person that tends to leave a positive and inspiring mark in any where I find myself.
In conclusion, just as pepper though small is hot and bold, it reflects my personality of being a strong and confident woman who would not let the atrocities of the world break her.
