Recommend A Must Taste Food In Your City For Local Guides To Try When They Visit

Many of us travel far and wide and beyond and visit new cities and different countries often. I am a travel junkie and I visit different places and cities a lot. Before traveling to any new city, one of the very few first things that comes into my mind is the kind of food that particular city has to offer. I am always interested on if I will be able to eat the food or not. I am always interested about how the taste of their food would be. Would it be tasty, spicy and sumptuous. Am always interested about all these factors. Am sure most people too might ponder the same way I ponder about some of these factors regarding how to get the best food in a new and different city.

Local Guides Knows Most Places and Things like no other so:

I want to Recommend a Must Try food when you visit Nigeria or any city in Nigeria.

When Visiting Nigeria, there are a must try food you must taste when you visit, not only are they a must try, they are special and national foods that wherever you go or what city in Nigeria you may be, this food are always everywhere and even sold on the streets as well. Some are sold in popular places called Bukas & Joints. I will share you some good food recommendations from my city for you to try.

  1. Pounded Yam: Pounded yam is a major Nigerian food that is eaten with any type of selected soup. It goes with any soup you eat it with. As usual it always tasty. It is called a solid food, and when looking for energy or more strength, many Nigerians love to eat this food.

  1. Vegetable Soup: No doubt many of us are familiar with the word vegetable soup. In Nigeria a vegetable soup is prepared with a leaf called Pumpkin leaf. In Nigeria Vegetable soups are not only tasty and mouth watering, they have been known to give a lot of healthy benefits to the body. Vegetable soups can be eaten with a Pounded yam as attached in my picture below. When visiting Nigeria either Lagos or Abuja one of the popular cities make sure you don’t forget to have this course meal. Am sure you will thank me later.

  1. Nigerian Jollof : Nigerian Jollof commonly known as the party rice is the biggest and most popular food on the Nigerian state. This is a food you must try. It is tasty, spicy and sumptuous. Many restaurants offer this on their menu and it is also easily found in Bukas and Joints as well. Taste it and thank me later :).

  1. Ewa Agoyin: Is One of the most tastiest and spiciest nigerain delicacy. You should try this food. You can find it mainly on the streets, Bukas, joints and some select restaurants like African restaurants. The taste is one to reckon with. It can be eaten with white rice , eaten with bread, eaten with yam and can also be eaten with fried or boiled plantain. What ever you know you eat beans with, then Ewa Agoyin can do the same.

I would make a list of where you can find these food in select restaurants, bukas & joints in different cities in Nigeria on Google Maps.

I have shared some food recommendations from my country & city what about yours ?. Would you like me to know what’s the best food in your city or country ? Of course I would love and be willing to know, counting on your Local Guide experience to share me the knowledge of the best food to taste when I visit your city. Tell why this particular food should be eaten, are there some healthy benefits as well eaten such food. Share your little experience with me and Everyone looking for recommendations.

Thanks for sharing this, @HelloSamsonR . I have not seen much of Nigerian food, let alone taste it! I was hoping to find some Nigerian food joints in Singapore but there aren’t many and one that looked really good is permanently closed. Sad.

Thanks @FazeelUsmani Party rice is a must taste for you :P. Just make a quick Google search on Nigerian Jollof you would get a great overview and experience. It is one you must try. Everyone loves the party rice :-).

So what’s the favourite in India or Hyderabad, is it the Biryani ?

Yeah exactly Hyderabadi Biryani is my all time favourite. I just ate Biryani in lunch and I can’t resist eating again in dinner.

At Ramazan time Haleem is my favourite.

Hola @HelloSamsonR , la comida es un gran tema aquí en Connect, y es tocado desde muchos lados, que comemos es Cultural, Familiar y del medio en que estamos, si vivimos alado de la costa es probable que nos guste la comida Marina y al revés si estamos en una zona de montaña puede ser que sea el arroz y otras verduras y hortalizas lo o que nos guste.

En Argentina tenemos muchas zonas climáticas, y culturas muy diversas que la pueblan Italianos, Españoles, Americanos (pueblos originarios), Arabes y de otras etnias, pero lo que caracteriza son tres cosas la carne de vaca :cow2:, con el asado criollo :cut_of_meat::meat_on_bone:, las empanadas :dumpling: y el mate, por supuesto hay otras comidas pero esas son las principales.

Tengo dos hilos donde ya hablo un poco sobre este tipo de cosas. Uno de ellos es ¿Que comemos por donde vivimos? Y el otro es Fotos de comida típica de Argentina, míralos y dime que opinas.

Espero que te gusten los platos :plate_with_cutlery: que serví por aquí :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Saludos Farid
