The food collage featured is only a fragment of Nigeria’s wealth in varieties of food.
Lagos a city home to almost all the tribes in this beautiful nation have all of these delicacies to welcome tourists and make their stay memorable. I like to eat across my nativity as I believe in unity through food.
Food is an art and people eat culture. A lot of us are accustomed to some foods today because our parents handed us the recipe and was a household staple, while others were picked from the streets because friends from other parts introduced us to it. Check, everyone have a reason why they eat what they eat and there is always a history behind it.
Featured in the picture in no particular order is a cow foot delicacy mainly known to the South-Eastern people of Nigeria called ‘Nkwobi’, it is always made spicy, soft and served in a local red oil sauce. Served in most local restaurants like SuyaBytes & Bar of 16 Karimu Kotun street Victoria Island Lagos.
Another featured food is beans and boiled unripe plantain. Beans is a staple here and the ‘Yorubas’ ( Western settlements) do not home with this nutritious legume. It is an important item in their kitchen that it is used to make a soup called “gbegiri” used in eating the very popular place “Amala”.
Then comes the oil bean sauce (‘Ugba’ sauce) , surrounded by roasted plantain. It is eating as a street side snack or proper meal and goes well with local drink called ‘palmy’… palm wine. The fermented frond sap of a palm tree, rich in natural yeast.
Last and bit the least is Guineafowl suya ( 'ogazi’in local parlance), is an open air grilled bush fowl. Naturally sweet and has no fat. All lean meat. God for people watching their diet and needs a better substitute to chicken. Spicy as demanded and juicy.
