🎄 NAIJA BOARD 2025/2026 CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR CONTEST🎄🎉🎇

Please what tool did you use. I'm a Noob when it comes to AI
I thought the image was real and wanted to ask what's the swallow doing there.

There are a bunch of them if you search "AI text to image" keyword in google. The one I chose was https://perchance.org/ai-text-to-image-generator

You should play around with the "Art style" option as well as the description text you use in order to get the desired result.
Generally speaking the "Casual photo" and "Cinematic" options are the ones that generate the most realistic results. The "Flat illustration" option is best for demonstrating something as I explained above. For example this is what it generated for "peer to peer network" with "Flat illustration" option. Interestingly enough it included bitcoin logo in it without me mentioning it:

i have a question what about invented food? newly invented foods. i saw this chef make a soup with bananas and other african ingredents, the chef is nigerian himself so can emulating and trying to replicate his invented delicacy within the rule.

If you read the rules or guidelines, it says you can make any kind of soup, just any kind you can. So, you are free try it out, so long as it is eatable and nice. Have fun, enjoy

I thought this thread is meant for posting only foods and not for discussion, please let's stop spamming here so we can see the food people are posting very easily and in case you want to discuss something or say something about this contest here is the discussion thread that was created for that 🎄 NAIJA BOARD 2025/2026 CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR CONTEST🎄🎉🎇 discussion thread, you can go there and say anything you want to say not in this thread please.
I believe when the foods are the only thing posted here it will be interesting going through them however when it is being mixed with discussion write up it will look boring going through it.

What are needed to prepare Onunu are ripe plantains, yam and red palm oil. Peel and boil the yam and plantain, and have them pounded together in a mortar to mix with red palm oil. Then other incredients for the Pepper Soup includes fresh red peppers, chilly dry pepper, onion, ginger, garlic, seasoning cubes, crayfish, scent leaves, salt, Fresh cat fish, clean water and some local spices.









If you're a foreigner, whenever you visit Nigeria and you're opportune to be in the South South, River state precisely, please request that you should be taken to a restaurant where you can have Onunu. It's a native food you find not made better anywhere else but the Southern part of Nigeria.
