The son of the bean

I sit and I wonder of the flavours of the universe
Of the things we have discovered and the things that remain a mystery to us 
Of the things discovered, I am immensely grateful for you.

J: don’t you think that’s a little too much praise for me?
M: You? For you? This isn’t about you. It is about the son of the bean… paired with this awesome-sauce garlic and onion infused oil.

There is a northern Nigerian dish called “Dan wake”. It is sort of like dumplings made with bean flour, augmented with other flours (usually yam) and baobab leaf powder. It is usually enjoyed with oil, onions, tomatoes, salt and pepper. The literal translation of the word “Dan wake” is “Son of the bean”. 

What i have done here is called SANTI in Hausa. It is an appreciation for food so good, it inspired a piece.
