It’s Black history month; here is a bit of cultural knowledge…

In most African homes, there is a jar of chilli in the fridge.
In most African homes, every child is the Go-to child for something.
🌾 What was your role in your family home?

👍🏾The jar of chilli traditionally was for the adults. Traditionally, children couldn’t eat chilli so the mother of the home would cook for all without the heat, then when the table was set, the jar of chilli would come out. Which meant that we all ate the same meal, differently instead of mum having to cook ten different meals for the household.

👉🏽Then, there was this tradition where this brother would be good at cleaning shoes, this one had an eye for groceries and that one would be the best one at entertaining guests as she was ‘The Smart Miss Pretty’.

😃My superpower was food and in particular making the household chilli and never let the fridge be without.

I had 2 chilli recipes. And the one with the Rainforest nuts was always the most popular. Now, it is an award winning chilli.

Q1: What was your role at Home?
Q2: Have you now perfected it or did you drop it ASAP?

As you can see, am still very attached to food. Lol
