#India#YouTube#Nigeria#Engineering: "The Indian YouTubers’ style of teaching and their ability to simplify complex concepts have been crucial to their popularity in Nigeria. One college student, who requested anonymity for privacy reasons, told Rest of World they struggled with a genetic engineering course and didn’t find their instructor helpful at all. “The school provided internet so it was easy to spend the time needed online,” they said. “[An Indian YouTube channel] opened my head and loaded it with all I need to know about genetic engineering. I aced the course!”"

Until my 30s I found all beans and legumes disgusting, except green beans. I'd eat them if served them but would think to myself "FML this is disgusting." In my 30s I got introduced to some great Indian restaurants by coworkers and it got me to the point where I love them now and try to use them in more and more ways. I just had my first foray with black eyed peas this month. Later this year going to try to make Akara/Koose (a West African fritter made with black eyed peas). I'd love to be like Chetna and have literally a dozen varieties in the pantry but they can be hard to find. I still haven't found fava beans locally yet even! Dr. Lecter would be so displeased :(. Anyway, this is a great run through. I'm going to use it to step up my legume/bean culinary game. #food#cooking#Nigeria#Ghana#India#IndianFood#IndianCooking#PlantBased#legumes THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO LENTILS | Everything You Need to Know about DAL | Food with Chetna

When I was growing up in Jos, #Nigeria, after the first rains of the year, we would put a bucket of water under the streetlights and these flying termites would just drop into it. We'll then fry them with a little bit of salt (no need for oil; these bugs are juicy!). They were DELICIOUS - as a snack or sprinkled over jollof rice.
And no, this wasn't a "starving African child" thing; this was a deliciousness thing.
