Traditional versus modern Ogbono Soup — which wins?

I've now had Ogbono Soup prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting. The traditional version emphasises crayfish powder in the way Nigerian cuisine varies between the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and other ethnic culinary traditions. The complex and robust character is more pronounced and direct.

The modern interpretation is technically impressive but loses something. The a family gathering context for the traditional version adds meaning that plating alone can't provide. Fanta orange with the traditional version made more sense than with the modern. Traditional wins, but the modern is worth trying once.
