Egusi soup
STRONG EVIDENCE evidence grade — master store (canonical CSV)
Combined Graph record U-01371 · provenance: canonical master store (CSV), record CTL-W-0878. Master record source: CTL seed 2026-10-16 — UNVERIFIED, verify before public citation.
Two independent sources converge on the stored definition: a dictionary entry defines egusi soup as 'a thick West African soup made with ground melon seeds, typically also containing leaf vegetables and meat or fish,' and Spiegato confirms ground egusi seeds create the soup's thick base and that traditional recipes call for leafy vegetables such as bitterleaf — matching stored key_ingredients (melon seeds, leafy greens). The stamp covers the definition only.
