Lunch Time - Okoye x Attuma

Author Notes:

I finally got a moment to write something cute for these two. I'll try to crank out Namor and Shuri later.

It all started when Aneka and Attuma were paired up as patrol buddies for a week.

It wasn't rare that they were paired off, from time to time. Neither of them minded it. Attuma appreciated the bubbly warrior. She had become something akin to a younger sister to him with time. And she had always referred to him as her brother-in-law when he and Okoye had announced their engagement.

Today's patrol, however, was interrupted by a frantic Aneka dragging him to the market to grab a few foods.

They settled at a table as she hurried to put something together in a small metal container.

"Aneka, what are you doing?" Attuma tilted his head as he watched her shape a mound of steaming mieliepap into a heart with a spoon.

"I forgot to pack Ayo lunch this morning." She murmured as her brows creased with great concentration. "I have to put something together." She hummed as she poured some hot meat stew out of a styrofoam container into the largest compartment in the metal container.

"Can't she get something?"

"She could, but I don't want her to. This is how I show my love. Although, I wish I could have made something homemade."

"Mm."

Attuma watched her place some roasted vegetables into the last compartment before she began to lay pieces of sweet plantain down to make a small heart.

She blew a kiss at the meal and smiled before placing the lid on it and packing everything else up.

"I think eating something packed with love makes it taste better." She grinned. "Just imagine if Okoye packed you something special." She offered as she got up. "I'll be back in a second." She waved before jogging off to find her wife.

Those words: Just imagine if Okoye packed you something special

Had Attuma in a chokehold for the rest of his time on patrol.

Aneka couldn't help but giggle as she watched him run off in the end.

She'd be expecting a head smack from her sister in the next few days.

"K'iin." Attuma called out as he entered her garden. She was tending to a few squash plants while M20 grazed peacefully, not too far behind her.

"Mm?"

"I patrolled with Aneka today."

"Oh? How did that go?"

He sat down beside her. "Well."

"That's it?"

"It was uneventful."

"And nothing exciting happened?" She laughed softly at his short and simple responses. She could tell something was churning in his mind.

"Aneka made Ayo something for lunch." He looked at her.

"That's nice."

"Yes. It is very nice for one to give their lover a meal made with love."

"Uh huh."

Attuma stared at her long and hard before looking down at the ground.

He pouted for three whole days before Okoye gave in and made something happen for him.

She was a phenomenal cook, thanks to her father. And although she had been married once upon a time, W'Kabi wasn't one who cared for homemade meals and surprises. She had tried it once, but he didn't even touch it. It was a waste of time and effort, and she had hardened her heart enough to never do it again.

Attuma on the other hand, was acting like the sun would fall out of the sky because he couldn't have a lunch prepared by her hands.

She would give him one now, but if he acted poorly, he would be eating vibranium and knuckle sandwiches instead.

But deep down inside, she knew he would be happy with anything she gave him.

Attuma would eat sand and drink saltwater if she served it to him.

So, she had to go above and beyond for him.

She quickly got to work when he left to start his patrol early in the morning.

Attuma was on patrol with Namora today but was settling down for lunch with her and Aj K'uk'ulkan when she found him.

He was pouting over something Namora had tossed together out of pity.

The feathered warrior enjoyed watching him sulk, but this was getting ridiculous.

Even K'uk'ulkan was worried by his sudden lack of appetite and sunken shoulders.

"In ba'ate'el." Okoye called out as she approached with a box wrapped perfectly in a sky blue patterened cloth.

He looked up at the sound of her voice, too forlorn to stand as she drew closer.

"K'iin." He huffed.

She sat down across from him before placing the wrapped box before him. "Ku méejtech uutsil." She gestured to it.

Have a nice meal?

He blinked at the box before he slowly began to undo the cloth and found a two-layered metal lunch box.

The first layer had freshly cut fruits and a small salad.

The second layer had some stewed goat served with samp and beans.

She watched him stare it all before she cursed softly under her breath, instantly catching his attention.

"I forgot to grab your drink."

"You did not."

"Huh?"

"What you have between your legs is plenty."

Namora choked on her food and K'uk'ulkan tried to stop himself from cackling as Okoye began to curse Attuma out in xhosa.

"Dios bo’otik, K'iin." He beamed when she was finally done chewing him out.

"Don't thank me. How many times do I have to tell you to stop being vulgar."

"It is not vulgar. It is honesty."

"That is not honesty."

"It is. I will please you when I am finished to show my gratitude."

"You aren't pleasing shit." She scowled. "Please me by eating the food and leaving me be."

"But I will be thirsty."

"ATTUMA!"

"Please." Namora gasped for air while her cousin pressed her rebreather on her face. "We are eating."

K'uk'ulkan laughed as he helped her. "He is in love. Do not discourage him."

Namora wheezed. "I almost died."

"You will understand when someone you love brings you food." Attuma patted her shoulder.

Namora scoffed. "There isn't a single soul bold enough to bring me food."

"Maybe if you ask the priestess, she might bring you something."

Namora's face purpled. "She would never."

"You never know." Okoye shrugged. "Although, Oni doesn't cook much. She can only cook five things and fire."

"Is Shuri any better?" K'uk'ulkan tilted his head at the warrior.

"She can cook, but it is very rare. You'd be lucky to even get a snack from her."

"Well, there's hope." He hummed.

"Very little."

"Yes, but there is hope."

Attuma was in his own little world as he started to eat his meal.

And that his how it all started.

Bloopers:

Namora when Attuma said Okoye was his drink.

Ce matin c’est notre dernier matin à Durban, et il fait grand beau ☀️. On profite de notre petit déjeuner puis on fait nos sacs (qu’on voulait faire hier soir mais on s’est endormi 😂). Vers 9h30 on fait le check out et on confie nos bagages à la réception pour quelques heures. Comme il fait grand beau et qu’il n’y a pas de vent, on va profiter de notre matinée pour aller à la plage 🏖️. Il y a eu quelques orages alors la mer a rejeté pas mal de de déchets (organique et humain). Mais à notre grande surprise, des équipes de nettoyage s’activent pour la rendre à nouveau toute belle 👏🏻. Il n’y avait pas grand monde, d’ailleurs les quelques personnes qu’il y avait ne restaient pas sur la plage. Ils venaient, allaient dans l’eau puis repartaient. Nous on voulait poser nos linges. Bien sûr, le temps d’aller dans l’eau on prenait toutes nos affaires qu’on déposaient près d’un truc pour les secouristes, comme ça on les avait à l’œil et après on aller s’échouer sur le sable ! Et pas de requin en vue aujourd’hui, pour le plus grand soulagement de maman 😘😘.

À midi, nous nous dirigeons gentiment vers l’hôtel pour récupérer nos sacs et troquer notre maillot de bain contre un short, ce sera plus confortable pour notre vol pour Johannesburg. Arrivé à l’aéroport, un petit casse-croûte et on saute dans l’avion. Le temps de vol est estimé aujourd’hui à 50 minutes, c’est du rapide! Finalement l’aéroport était assez chargé alors on a fait quelques petits tours en l’air avant d’atterrir. Voilà, la boucle est bouclée, nous sommes à nouveau à Johannesburg, au même endroit qu’il y a deux semaines à notre arrivée 💫. Après avoir récupéré nos bagages, on va prendre pour la première fois le train en Afrique du Sud ! Le billet n’est pas trop cher pour nous, mais on pense que c’est pas donné pour les gens du coins, presque 250 Rand l’aller, soit un peu plus de 10CHF, mais c’est plus cher qu’un menu avec boisson au restaurant. D’ailleurs il n’y a pas beaucoup d’africain dans ce train. Parlons en du train; très moderne, assez confortable, une cadence toutes les 10 minutes…je suis assez impressionné. Bon c’est le train qui relie l’aéroport à la ville, il faut bien qu’il fasse bonne impression. Les trains de banlieue c’est autre chose. D’ailleurs on voulait en prendre un pour nous rendre à l’hôtel. C’était déjà un labyrinthe pour trouver où acheter le ticket et le guichetier nous a dit qu’il y a en fait pas de train pour rejoindre notre gare…bref on est sorti de la gare et j’ai commandé un Uber, l’application tournait un peu dans le vide lorsqu’un taximan est venu vers nous en disant que Uber ne fonctionne pas bien en Afrique du Sud. Il nous propose de nous emmener à l’hôtel pour 100R, soit environ 5CHF. On a excepté de suite tellement on voulais arriver à l’hôtel, sans compter qu’il commençait à faire nuit et que c’est pas très safe de se balader dans les rues de Johannesburg la nuit tombée. Les quartiers que l’on traverse ont l’air très pauvre et pas très bien entretenu. Ça change énormément de toutes les autres villes que l’on a visité lors de ce voyage où tout était assez propre, même dans une grande ville tel que Cape Town. Enfin on verra bien demain comment ça se passera. Le taxi nous dépose à l’hôtel. Très content de l’hôtel que nous avons réservé pas plus tard hier soir 😂. On ne va pas ressortir pour manger. Heureusement l’hôtel a un bar/restaurant dans lequel on a pris un ragoût de bœuf avec du mieliepap, une sorte de polenta locale. C’était hyyyyper bon !

Mieliepap en?

It’s pretty hard to get too much breakfast outside of The Untied States.  I did my best at Hemelhuijs in Cape Town, South Africa.  I got honey and butter mieliepap; mosbolletjies bread with hummus, cauliflower and trout; and a potato rosti with poached eggs and bacon.  I also got carrot and beet smoothies.

Result: Victory!  I barely ordered anything and the waiter still gave me a serious side-eye.  The important thing is I ate a bunch of things I can't properly pronounce.

#TasteOfCultureTuesday⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐬? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Grits are of #NativeAmerican origin and are similar to other thick maize-based porridges from around the world, such as #polenta and #mieliepap. The dish came from a #NativeAmerican Muskogee tribe's recipe in the 16th century, of Indian corn similar to hominy or maize. The #Muskogee would grind the corn in a stone mill, giving it a “gritty” texture. They were made using a stone-grounder. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Grits is a #porridge made from boiled cornmeal. Hominy grits are a type of grits made from #hominy. Grits are often served with other flavorings as a breakfast dish. Grits can be either savory or sweet, with savory seasonings being more common. The dish originated in the Southern United States but now is available nationwide. Grits are popular as the dinner entrée shrimp and grits, served primarily in the South. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Three-quarters of grits sold in the U.S. are bought in the South, in an area stretching from Lower Texas to Washington D.C. that is sometimes called the "grits belt". The state of Georgia declared grits to be its official prepared food in 2002. A similar bill was introduced in South Carolina to name it the official state food, but it did not advance. Nevertheless, South Carolina still has an entire chapter of legislation dealing exclusively with cornmeal and grits. Grits may be either yellow or white, depending on the color of the corn used. The most common version in supermarkets is "quick" grits, which have the germ and hull removed.

so time to feed this community with comic Dancing Rasta facts! all thanks to strika_archyvez on instagram for these!!

*Dancing Rasta’s real name is Fabian Skhosana

*It says Rasta was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, but he is Jamaican as well, so the changes probably happened when Strikas became global.

*Mighty Orlando was one of the two original teams that merged to become Invincible United (the other team being Celtic FC).

* So “pap” is probably short for “mieliepap”. Mieliepap is a traditional porridge and a staple food popular in Southern Africa. There are a few variations but in most parts of South Africa people eat it for breakfast! Pap is made from maize-meal.

Anyways I hope y’all have a good day/night!

Understanding South Africans: 🤣😂🤣😂

Understanding the unique South African Lingo

BRAAI: What is a braai? It is the first thing you will be invited to when you visit South Africa . A braai is a backyard barbecue and it will take place whatever the weather. So you will have to go even if it's raining like mad. At a braai you will be introduced to a substance known as mieliepap.

AG: This one of the most useful South African words. Pronounced like the"ach" in the German "achtung", it can be used to start a reply when you are asked a tricky question, as in: "Ag, I don't know." Or a sense of resignation:"Ag OK, I'll have some more mieliepap then." It can stand alone too as a signal of irritation.

DONNER: A rude word, it comes from the Afrikaans "donder" (thunder).Pronounced "dorner", it means "beat up." A team member in your rugby team can get donnered in a game, or your wife can donner you if you come back from a braai at three in the morning.

EINA: Widely used by all language groups, this word, derived from the Afrikaans, means "ouch." Pronounced "aynah".You can say it in sympathy when you see your friend the day after he got donnered by his wife.

HEY: Often used at the end of a sentence to emphasize the importance of what has just been said, as in "You're only going to get donnered if you come in late again, hey?" It can also stand alone as a question.Instead of saying "excuse me?" or "pardon me?" when you have not heard something directed at you, you can always say: "Hey?"

IZIT?: This is another great word to use in conversations. Derived from the two words "is" and "it", it can be used when you have nothing to contribute if someone tells you something at a braai. For instance, if someone would say: "The Russians will succeed in their bid for capitalism once they adopt a work ethic and respect for private ownership." It is quite appropriate to respond by saying:"Izit?"

JA WELL NO FINE: This is another conversation fallback. Derived from the four words:"yes", "well", "no" and fine",it roughly means "OK". If your bank manager tells you your account is overdrawn, you can, with confidence,say: "Jawelnofine."

KLAP: Pronounced "klup" - an Afrikaans word meaning smack,whack or spank.If you spend too much time in front of the TV during exam time,you could end up getting a "klap" from your mother. In America, that is called child abuse. In South Africa , it is called promoting education.But to get "lekker geklap" is to get motherlessly drunk.

LEKKER: An Afrikaans word meaning nice, this word is used by all language groups to express approval. If you enjoyed a braai thoroughly,you can say: "Now that was lekk-errrrrrr!" while drawing out the last syllable.

TACKIES: These are sneakers or running shoes. The word is also used to describe automobile or truck tyres. "Fat tackies" are really wide tyres, as in:"You've got lekker fat tackies on your Vôlla, hey?"

DOP: This word has two basic meanings, one good and one bad. First the good: A dop is a drink, a cocktail, a sundowner, a noggin. When invited for a dop, be careful! It could be one sedate drink or ablast, depending on the company. Now the bad: To dop is to fail.If you "dopped" standard two (Grade 4) more than once, you probably won't be reading this.

SAAMIE: This is a sandwich. For generations, school- children have traded"saamies" during lunch breaks. In South Africa you don't send your kid to school with liver-polony saamies. They are impossible to trade!!

BAKKIE: This word is pronounced "bucky" and can refer to a small truck or pick-up. If a young man takes his "girl" (date) in a bakkie it could be considered as a not so "lekker" form of transport because the seats can't recline.

HOWZIT: This is a universal South African greeting, and you will hear this word throughout the country. It is often accompanied with the word"Yes!" as in: "Yes, howzit?". In which case you answer "No, fine."

NOW NOW: In much of the outside world, this is a comforting phrase:"Now now,it's really not so bad." But in South Africa , this phrase is used in the following manner: "Just wait, I'll be there now now." It means "a little after now".

TUNED GRIEF: To be tuned grief is to be aggravated, harassed. For example, if you argue with somebody about a rugby game at a braai and the person had too much dop (is a little "geklap"), he might easily get aggravated and say.: "You're tuning me grief, hey!". To continue the argument after this could be unwise and result in major tuning of grief..

BOET: This is an Afrikaans word meaning "brother" which is shared by all language groups. Pronounced "boot" but shorter, as in"foot", it can be applied to a brother or any person of the male sex. For instance a father can call his son "boet" and friends can apply the term to each other too. Sometimes the diminutive "boetie" is used.But don't use it on someone you hardly know - it will be thought patronizing and could lead to you getting a "lekker klap".

PASOP: From the Afrikaans phrase meaning "Watch Out!", this warning is used and heeded by all language groups. As in: "The boss hasn't had his coffee yet - so you better pasop boet" Sometimes just the word"pasop!" is enough without further explanation.Everyone knows it sets out a line in the sand not to be crossed.

SKOP, SKIET EN DONNER: Literally "kick, shoot and thunder", this phrase is used by many South African speakers to describe action movies. A Clint Eastwood movie is always a good choice if you're in the mood for of a lekker skop,skieten donner flick.

VROT: Pronounced - "frot". A expressive word which means"rotten" or"putrid" in Afrikaans, it is used by all language groups to describe anything they really dislike. Most commonly intended to describe fruit or vegetables whose shelf lives have long expired, but a pair of old tackies (sneakers) worn a few years too long can be termed "vrot" by some unfortunate folk which find themselves in the same vicinity as the wearer. Also a rugby player who misses important kicks or tackles can be said to have played a vrot game - opposite to a"lekker" game(but not to his face). A movie was once reviewed with this headline:"Slick Flick, Vrot Plot."

ROCK UP: To rock up is to just, sort of arrive (called "gatecrash" in other parts of the world). You don't make an appointment or tell anyone you are coming - you just rock up. Friends can do that but you have to be selective about it. For example, you can't just rock up for a job interview.

SCALE: To scale something is to steal it. A person who is"scaly" has a doubtful character, is possibly a scumbag, and should rather be left off the invitation list to your next braai.

JA-NEE: "Yes No" in English. Politics in South Africa has always been associated with family arguments and in some cases even with physical fights. It is believed that this expression originated with a family member who didn't want to get a klap or get donnerred, so he just every now and then muttered "ja-nee". Use it when you are required to respond, but would rather not choose to agree or disagree.

#this is hilarious #so so true though #I use most of these every day #howzit guys #hope you are all feeling lekker?

18, 33, 66?

Thanks for the ask!!

18. Do you want children?

I don't know. This is something I always wanted when I was a kid. I used to said I want a 100 kids lol. But the thing is I don't know if I'll be good with kids. If I have children I want to be able to be a good mom for them. If I do have them I'm not sure if I'll have kids on my own. This is actually something I've been wondering about especially after I found out I'm ace a few months ago. I mean I don't know if I want to marry one day. And if I don't if I want to raise kids bymyself. I do need to think about this. But for now I'm just seeing how life goes.

33. What do you typically have for breakfast?

If I have cereal I'll eat weetbix. If it's poriage I'll eat mieliepap or oats.

66. Do you like long or short hair?

I have long hair. But I'll cut my hair on Thursday if all things go alright. I'm wondering if shoukd let them cut it short.

Feel free to ask me

Shrimp & Grits is an iconic dish from the Southern USA. Originally from the oceanic South, Georgia, the Low Country coast of North and South Carolina, and the Gulf Coast states all have their own versions. Historically, it was a simple fisherman’s breakfast: Grits with some bacon and a few shrimp tossed on top. The grits are soft, buttery, and often cheesy, with a savory bacon sauce, and, today, lots of shrimp. Maybe some parsley or green onions for color and crunch. Grits is made from corn (maize) that is ground into a coarse meal, then boiled. It is similar to an oatmeal. It‘s of Native American origin and is similar to other thick maize-based porridges from around the world, such as polenta or mieliepap.

Fire. Meat. Learn. Repeat.

A recent blog from a South African friend about growing up puzzled got me thinking about food and how it can both divide and unite.

His puzzlement was triggered as a young boy when he saw bags of samp and beans in the kitchen cupboard. Samp and beans is a traditional mixture of dry ‘stamped’ corn and beans, eaten pretty much exclusively in Black households. South Africa’s polenta or tortilla, if you will, a staple cheap filling food.

Samp and beans wasn’t found in many white households those days, though now it can be bought from South Africa’s biggest up-market food supermarket. In the 70′s, the nearest thing for white communities was ‘pap’, or mieliepap, a maize porridge traditionally eaten with the traditional South African sausage, boerewors. In another culinary division, this was more likely to be found in Afrikaans white households than those speaking English.

Spool forward a few years and I’m about to have a puzzlement of my own.  It’s a Friday in 1976, payday for my black co-workers in a newspaper distribution business. (It also happens to be a momentous year for the black liberation struggle, but that’s another story.)

It’s time for lunch too. Cash in pocket, what about a little TGIF luxury? Out back of the office, in the parking lot, the trio of lunchers break up some wooden fruit boxes and make a quick fire. Then, on go some cheap off-cuts of meat, straight onto the flames. 

I remember being taken aback, what were they doing? Why weren’t they waiting for the fire to die down to proper cookable coals, where was the braai grid to hold the meat? It was all wrong. Too fast, too basic, too....you know, not like how ‘we’ do it.

But then someone offered me a piece of cooked meat, and my questions disappeared in a bite full of smoky, charred flavour. It was delicious. And, so I stood, in a laughing group of men, biting into cheap beef, sharing lunch with people I had never socialised with, whose homes and lives were a foreign land. Men my parents would have described as ‘boys’ and certainly not encouraged any social mixing.

Some months later, on the day I left the company, two of those men persuaded me to eat meat again, but this time from my side of the fence. So, we piled into my orange VW Beetle and headed to a famed local steakhouse.Places like this were strictly off-limits to black South Africans, as were all restaurants, bars, hotels and clubs in the so-called white areas.

So, I went inside, to order our three steak rolls. Only the best beef, of course, in a big chunky roll, wrapped in tin foil. Back in the car, we sat together, unrolled our feast, the windows fogging up from the hot food, as we wolfed down the rolls. I’m not sure who paid, probably me. Now that I think about it, definitely me.

I drove my colleagues home into the local black township, the first time I had ever set foot into their world. 

We said goodbye on a street corner, and I drove home alone, back to my world of prime cuts, proper coals, and braai grids. Well-fed, and a little bit wiser.

In my life, food, in all its endless variety, has continued to be the gateway into many amazing encounters with people with whom I might normally have never spent time. Rastafarian farmers in Kenya, Bulgarian market gardeners, Italian giant garlic growers, Scottish wild salmon netters, Chinese noodle makers, and so many others.

And it continues to do so.  For that, I am certainly partly in the debt of three men in a Cape Town parking lot who started a fire.

Know South Africa’s Indigenous Cuisine

Food is invariably a universal connector – however, experiencing and sharing-in the food of a different land is a very personal experience.

As early merchants and travellers navigated the globe, they not only bought back home goods and ideas, but also recipes, spices and edible ingredients, which they then customized and further cultivated.

Interestingly, South Africa’s delicious signature dish – the Bunny Chow (also simply known as the ‘bunny’), has Indian origins. The dish consists of a hollowed-out loaf of white bread filled with meat or vegetable curry. This dish, though rare in India, is extremely popular with the locals of the Rainbow Nation. In fact, each year in September the ‘Bunny Chow Barometer’, which attracts numerous entrants from across the Durban Metro region to compete for the title of top bunny maker, is held in Durban.

Other delicacies include, traditional African food cooked over an open fire or in a three-legged pot (or potjie), morogo (type of wild spinach), chakalaka (a spicy relish served alongside a main course), and the ubiquitous boerewors roll (a variety of spicy sausage).

Vegetarians will find a wide range of appetizing food options such as veg bobotie (a national dish of South Africa, which is a delicious mixture of curried vegetables, spices, fruits and nuts with a creamy golden topping, that add to its complex flavor), pampoenkoekie (light, fluffy and literally melt in your mouth pumpkin fritters) and pap tart (Pap, also known as mieliepap, is the Afrikaans word for porridge, typically prepared with corn-maize).

Before the coronavirus pandemic resulted in shutting down of borders, South African food trails were hugely popular among visitors. In South Africa, a typical food trail would include a few must-have experiences like wine tasting, Bunny Chow sampling, coffee tasting at a local roaster, walking tours of food gardens, visits to ethical butcheries, spice shops and quaint chocolate factories.
