WHAT DO NIGERIAN PEOPLE EAT?


I created a list of food that traditional Nigerian people eat. Please help me complete the list and don't forget to tell me what your favorite Nigerian foods are?
My husband and I eat most of these foods regularly and I personally love Egusi soup the most. I have to admit I don't really like things like stomach of a cow or snail but I try and taste at least once.
I can cook some of these foods however it always turn out to be a bit different to the original version. No question why?

My Jollof rice wasn't approved for two years when I finally learnt how to make it properly. Poor husband.
Check out my post on Jollof rice.
