Mother records white child eating garri
Amused by her son’s choice of food, the mother walked into the room and started a playful interrogation to find out what he was eating.
Jireh replied:
"Garri."
When his mother questioned him about the ingredients he used to prepare the staple, the boy tried to play it down. He claimed that he only added water to the cassava grains.
His mother did not believe the claim after observing the rich and creamy texture of the food in the bowl.
She laughed and said:
"Water? Water? That looks like milk. I think you've got milk and sugar in it!"
The young boy eventually giggled and conceded to his mother's observations. He admitted that the combination of milk, sugar, and garri was sweet.
The clip took a hilarious turn when his mother asked if he had tried taking the staple with peanuts, which are commonly called groundnuts in Nigeria. Groundnuts serve as a traditional accompaniment for soaked garri.
Jireh shook his head to reject the option and gave his honest review.
He declared:
"I've tried it with peanut, I don't like it."
