For those of us in less positions of affluence like yourself. Saliid cadey is staple. Although we do reserve a bottle of cheap olive oil for finishing touches

Poor people using poor products breed poor children who will use poor products, ad infinitum.
Break the cycle. Use olive oil.

But I hate it when hooyo or aabe add lettuce to every fucking meal They'll put some lettuce on pizza to make it "healthy"

Pizza with cold dressed salad is actually a specialty in my country

I disassociate myself from this madness.

The Iraqis put raisins in their rice too, I don't like it but fries though

True, also lots of nuts and other shit. I like my pilav pretty basic but thats just me. And the fries, i find, develop a bad texture when buried in steaming rice. Maybe alone, but to each his own at the end of the day lol

Though I used to like eating it when I was young back home, I still remember I used to get stomachache right after I had muqmad. Never knew why, and since muqmad wasn't eaten on daily basis, I didn't complain and used to enjoy it, despite the consequences. lol

But you're right, it's better to avoid eating it, as it's full of fat, animal fat + the one they cook it with.

High sugar diet was okay in the homeland because we used to burn it off walking around in the hot sun.

Western deathstyle is not compatible with the Somali diet. We need to adjust.

This ^. Too much fat and dairy are linked to CHD and stroke, our sedentary lifestyle in the west only exasperates the amount of incidences. If only this information was well spread among our older generation

Olives do not naturally grow in somalia and hence u are indirectly bootyclapping for arab farmers. I rest my case
