You are looking at a delicacy that takes less than 100seconds to prepare. A lifesaver. Oxygen on planet Jupiter. Many students have different stories that give credit to this food for being next to nothing when they are away from the cocoon of parents and Home. Africans know exactly what every content in this picture means. Its names are numerous like Cannabis and it recreates partially like Cannabis. lol. Enjoy my African Background. See where we came from, see where we are now...wow! "OTTO GARRI"

That's sweet coconut on the left(West). Groundnut/Peanuts on the right (East) and a combination of Garri and Groundnut(North)

East Africa shares the same tropical features with West Africa. I love the size of Avocados (pear) from Kenya too

Otto is another name for Garri, its students' slang name for it. the coconut and peanut compliment the Garri.

@LLavish Okay we also have that too in our country and I remember when I was young I chew it and put the juice in my hair to make my hair shiny and bouncy and have a healthy scalp.
