Nigerian lunch-Swallow meals !!!

[SholaIB]

I have been in Ghana on and off for some years now,and I have come to love the Ghanaian dishes like Kenkey-Fish-and-Fresh-pepper-sauce . Nevertheless, nothing can take the place of the Nigerian made dishes. There are certain dishes your taste buds will always crave for, and they’ll be the yummy taste of the dishes you are brought up with.

In Nigeria, more often than not, lunch is always swallow meals. When I mean swallow we are talking about meals like;

• Eba (Made from Casava flour)
• Pounded yam(yam pounded in a mortar)
• Amala(Made from yam flour)
• Semo (Made from wheat flour)

The list goes on. We also have varieties of sauce/soup that goes with these swallow meals.

Today I had a lunch of Eba and Okro soup(diced and boiled) with tomatoes sauce or stew. It was garnished with cow meat !!! Nothing could be tastier.

Hope you like the lunch, well I enjoyed it anyway.

Thanks for sharing this nice post @SholaIB The second photo of the beef looks really delicious and mouth-watering. Who cooked this? Other foods also look yummy. Do you eat them very often? Stay safe. Regards

[SholaIB]

Thank you @MukulR .

My aunty actually made this on this occasion but it’s very easy to cook and I can equally make them. I had this today and infact not too long ago

Yes I have it very often thank you. We eat it with our fingers, am sure you do that in India and Bangladesh and some of these Asian countries.

Say safe too.

Cheers

Yes, we the Indian sub-continental people eat almost everything with fingers and without spoons @SholaIB . Can you eat steamed rice and lentil with fingers like this video

This swallow looks delicious and palatable

[SholaIB]

Wow Not a chance @MukulR

It’s a thing to be mastered. We have our meals quite hot too but not that hot. Thanks for sharing that video. There is some similarities anyway between the sub-continental eating and the African eating. Nevertheless we eat rice with spoon.

Cheers

Hello @Aslam_hossain

Yes indeed. It will be nice to get an invitation to swallow but for the sake of social distance we will let that be till Covid19 is over. Thanks for your interest

Cheers

[SholaIB]

Yes o @Herqiem it is quite delicious and palatable. If not for social distance I’d love to invite you for it .

Thanks for your interest.

The opening photo is very tempting @SholaIB

Is the bread on the side dish sweet?

[SholaIB]

Thanks @TusharSuradkar our honourable moderator.

Indeed it is not bread in the sense of the normal bread we all know, it’s called Eba. Made from cassava flour as explained. It does be a bit sour. It has a nice taste that it can be chewed on it’s own. It’s a very common meal all over Nigeria. Thanks for your interest.

Cheers
