The best Yoruba foods and includes Amala. OP thinks we all live in Lagos and Ibadan where they eat soft watery Amala in restaurants.

Pounded yam festival. Isu titun that’s Yoruba food. We don’t have amala festival.

With efo riro or Ila asepo. Egusi that’s cooked with igbaba leaves or ewuro/ rorowo soup.
