We learned how to make this soup from Hooyo¹ Fadumo Abdulle (Abdullahi’s mother). Hooyo Fadumo is an amazing cook but her story with cooking did not have the greatest start. Actually, it began with an embarrassing experience. Even though born and raised in Mogadishu, she comes from a family of pastoralists (reer miyi). At 19 years of age and a newlywed, she knew nothing about the culture of her Bravanese husband.
The job of preparing Bravanese foods was entrusted to a cook and things went smoothly until the day when the cook suddenly announced that she was leaving. Even though Hooyo Fadumo had never shown any interest in learning how to cook Bravanese food, she just shrugged it off. She told her husband (Abdullahi’s father) that there was nothing to worry about and that she can handle everything herself. She had seen the food preparation from a distance, but nevertheless, she felt very confident. Somalis have a phrase for this: waan daadshay (I am a master at it). It has resulted in many a disaster!
The next morning, she asked a relative to buy her “the fish with the small eyes and the little tail.” She remembered that the cooked fish was scored and she scored hers. She put a little oil in a cold pan and without waiting for it to heat up, she placed the fish in the pan. She kept flipping the fish but after 15 minutes, it was still soft. Unperturbed, she put the fish on a plate and with the biggest smile she could manage, placed it on the table in front of her husband.
He poked it with his fork and realized that the stomach was not removed from the fish and he mentioned it to her. She replied, “Does a fish have a stomach?” She felt utterly embarrassed and that night, while in bed, she thought to herself, “Never again!”
That marked the beginning of a journey with food and it culminated in her becoming a stellar cook.

Haddaad su’aal kale qabtid nala socodsii. Mahadsanid walaal.
