Nigerian Food

So I thought I would tell you all a little about the Nigerian food...because it's well tasty!!!!

So hear is a run down of my top 5 Nigerian foods:
 1. Pounded yam and Egusi soup- This is the first Nigerian dish i tried and it delish, its serve separately. The pounded Yam looks like a big ball of mashed potato. The Egusi soup is made from ground watermelon seeds, mixed with spinach stuff, and some red oil. Mmmmm its amazing!

 2. Moi-Moi- This is basically ground beans which is then boiled in a bag. They serve it with a boiled egg inside but its melt in the mouth stuff. Also if left to go cold it hardens and is a pretty good afternoon snack.

 3. Beans Porridge- This basically looks like someone's thrown up on your plate but it tastes pretty good. Again the main ingredient is beans, but it is a porridge consistency. Often made with either yam or potato to fill it out a bit. Its also good if you spread the beans porridge on bread.

 4. Fried Yam and red soup- Yam is a similar consistency to potato apart from its a bit harder and comes in massive tubular shapes. So fried yam is basically like having a big circular chip. You eat it with Red soup which is made mainly of red oil, tomato paste and spices.

 5. Okara- Again this is ground beans...its amazing what you can do with beans! But this one they put bread crumbs around it and fry it. It's quite common as a breakfast food, and is again pretty amazing.

So there we go you now know a little more about Nigerian food, and all of the delicacies your missing out on :) Fortunately not been offered snails, snake, or random meat yet but im sure ill have to stomach somethin gross soon.
