Growing up, this super-delicious mix of gari, sugar and water was occasionally a lifesaver in many situation, most especially for students in high school and even some at the tertiary level.
The dish was easy to make; and if you could afford it, you might as well go the step further to adorn it with garnishes like a little milk (or lots of it if you’re like me), nuts (most often groundnuts though tiger nuts occasionally works too) and almost any other easy to digest edible.
