OFE ERIAMIONU πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹

That smiley icon is actually the smiley meaning of this soup πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. ERIAMIONU in my language literarily means "Eat and lick mouth"
If you grew up in Agbor, Delta State. Eriamionu will not be strange to you but forget this Native name, it's almost or even the same thing like Efo riro YES! It is just that leafy Shoko leaves made into soup, either using oil or Banga.
I love Eriamionu leaves or Shoko leaves in Banga... you all should try it πŸ˜.
Also, unlike Eforiro where most indigenous western people Blanche and squeeze out the juice from the vegetable leaf, we don't do that (and i still don't subscribe to that method because you are squeezing out all the good nutrients and just eating chaff πŸ™„).
I still don't know the English name of this leaf honestly, some will call it SPINACH🀦‍♀️, but there are various kinds of Spinach-es. I grew up knowing it as Eriamionu leaves and when i came to Lagos, it is known as Shoko leaves here, please do you know the English name and what else is it called in your dialect ?
... and if you are an Agbor or Anioma person passing by this post, please say HI πŸ™‹‍♀️😘
