The Name UNDAPOT
The name ‘UndaPot’ is derived from the Pidgin English reference to the residue of a well-cooked dish, in Africa. Thanks to gravity, all seasonings have a tendency towards settling at the bottom of the pot while cooking, creating a most tasty extract to the food prepared. This residue could become the source of many arguments or squabbles amongst youngsters (if not tactfully handled). For ‘legends’ who grew up around their mothers assisting with chores in the kitchen or cooking, the tale of kids heard negotiating who would get the “unda pot’ (Pidgin English) once cooking was done, is a memory of precious precooking encounters. Such deals would have been struck by the time the food was ready, or fights could erupt should a deal be compromised. Those were the good old days, growing up. When kids were kids and could grow up retaining their instincts to remain jovial throughout a lifetime. As you can see, the ‘under pot’ is to die for.
