I would be giving my little knowledge about my choice of food this day which is yam pottage.
Its name has given it away and of course, it is a simple dish made from yam along with other vegetables and ingredients. It is a Nigerian local dish, prepared and eaten mostly in the southern and I western region of Nigeria.
Through this post, I would be noting a few things about it which includes the recipe, image and nutritional facts.
