Today on BattaBox we are heading to Warri to learn about a Delta State speciality, Starch and Owo soup AKA Yellow and Yellow.

“As you see me as I dey eat am, na correct food,” one

“Its taste is something unique…you won’t give out a bride without preparing starch and owo soup for the family.”

“Don’t you think starch should be for laundry, not as a food?” our Warri presenter asks.

“We know the value so we no dey abuse am, we dey use am well.”

What do you think?

Have you ever eaten starch and owo soup before?

Is it as delicious as the people of Warri say?

Thanks for watching!

    Lovely.l am half itshekiri,half urhobo and half Esan in edo state but born and bread in lagos state.So yes,l could technically lay claim to three states in nigeria and that would be a first.Only had starch and that soup maybe once or twice .There’s a tecnical way of cutting that stuff before you can even talk of eating or swallowing.Could not be bothered with that even then.Thanks for sharing both the meal and warri,lovely.
