Tomato ketchup is my emergency stew for now. Normally tomato paste comes in during emergencies like this but this time, we just got back home after two weeks of Christmas at the village. We arrived at night. No fresh
pomo stew is cooked with Nigerian pomo (Cow skin). Kpomo is gotten from cows. After the beef is taken out, the skin is either turned into leather for making bags, shoes and other leather materials or roasted and turned into a Nigerian delicacy.
Nigerians love to eat kpomo, even when we know that it has very little or no nutritional value, we love to see kpomo in our Nigerian soups and stews. Kpomo has economic values that can help the country but most people don’t care.
If converted to leather, there are economic values but we seem not to be too ready for those gains yet. The funny thing about our love for kpomo is that we all know there are no health benefits of eating kpmo because honestly that dry cow skin is nutritionally dead unless it was skinned and cooked without drying and roasting.
