The food I hate the most when I was a child is pap and i still don't like it till now.
Pap/Akamu is a common food in Nigeria it has three types!
Yellow,white and brown.they are all produce with the same method but they use different type of maize for there production.
It's a fermented cereal made from maize or millet.the grains are soaked for some days before they grind it and they sieve out the water.
How neighbour makes pap and she sells.the yellow one to be precise.
My mom likes pap and she made me to eat it because it's her favourite and she said it has a lot of nutrient,carbohydrate and it's rich in fibre.i had no choice than to eat it because if I don't there is nothing else to eat.she also believe that it's a compulsory meal for a child.It was our everyday breakfast as a child.
On a long run I develop a little like for it and i drink pap with a lot of milk and sugar in it with that it taste sweet in my mouth.
When I started growing up i asked my mum why we always take pap every morning why not cereal like cornflakes, Goldenmorn and all and she said it helds digestion and it is better than cereal that she doesn't know how they produced them.even with all her explanation I still don't like it but I continue to drink pap because I had no choice.
When I became a teenager i went to boarding school.pap wasn't part of how meal at all.i was so happy.since then I stopped taking pap.

You hated pap, ooh my, it's really surprising to me. I loved Pap so much, to the point I wanted to be eating every day, but Mum wouldn't let me.
