I’m doing Sallah in the home of one of the richest men in the country and they gave me Ayamashe Rice
Now Ayamashe Rice looks like ofada but the sauce can kill
It was Dr Tokunbo Awolowo Dosunmu who first gave me the rice and then packed a whole cooler for me
The meat is usually mushy as it melts immediately when ur teeth touches it.
My people, at the Awolowos, I ate with no shame but here they received me as a super star
The moment I walked in, my host jumped at me and proclaimed – aghhj the Duke is here, and the crowd surrounded me, and his wife said – I read you every week. So humorous, I was expecting to see an old man, not a handsome young man
Then I sat and crossed my legs like Wole Soyinka receiving the Nobel Prize and people were coming to pay homage
Then I saw it. Ayamashe Rice complete with that stew.
My people as I write, I have eaten two plates and have asked for one more
People around stare and a celebrity writer don turn to longer throat
Ayamashe Rice don disgrace me o. This particular one tastes like the Ikenne one as its authenticity remains impeccable
Mbok make una advise me cos shame is doing me to leave cos I feel that when I go, they will be saying Kai, that Duke can eat oo
I am still here waiting for everybody to go so they don’t yab me behind my back
My people if you taste this Ayamashe Rice ehn, you will not blame me
Should I ask for takeaway?
Duke of Shomolu
