Where and when do you remember having tried it?

Since school resumed I have not been able to eat my favorite meal again. I vividly remember that a day before I left for school, my favorite meal was prepared as a farewell to me and it tasted really great.

Add an experience you've had where that food was involved. For example, a trip, a birthday, a party.?

Egusi soup been my favorite meal, so I cannot afford to miss any occasion where it is been given as a souvenir. It was at birthday party of my dearest sister, it really was fun not until the meat didn't go round, then some persons started frowning but as for me meat or no meat I still enjoy eating my favorite meal. @belenguerra look for a way, so you too can taste this soup of mine.
