FAVORITE NIGERIA FOOD

Here are 11 foods you can try when visiting Nigeria:

---

1. Pepper soup - This will awaken your tongue. However, be careful with that; three tablespoons, and you're already turning red and asking for more water. However, if you can get it right, there is no Nigerian food that you find overwhelming.

2. Egusi - One of our best deals in terms of Nigerian food. This goes well with any drink you want. Eat with your fingers to get the full essence.

3. Puff Puff - This is a light snack but very filling. It is soft and fluffy. You will always want more.

4. Eba and okro soup - There is okra and okro. If you are visiting Nigeria for the first time, be sure to try okro soup and eba. This swallow meals give you a taste experience.

5. Pounded Yam and Efo riro - The mashed yam is known as the King of swallows. When we crown a "King" of food, then you know that the food has earned it. Efo Riro is the worthy Queen of Pounded Yam, the King. A combination of these two is an experience that will have you applying for a Nigerian passport.

6. Suya - This is different from the grilled meat that you are used to. The difference is the Nigerian flavor and the added "night" secret ingredient. If you ever land in Nigeria, wait until "night" and then head over to the maisuya to taste it. You will feel the taste when it touches your tongue.

7. Ofada Rice with stew - This is our local rice, so you can expect to get that local flavor that cannot be replicated anywhere else. You definitely don't want to miss this egbaland food.

8. Moi-Moi - This is made from beans and can be eaten as a snack or with other foods such as rice. Whichever way you choose to eat it, keep in mind that you will definitely want more of it.

9. Afang soup - If you are on the south-south side of Nigeria, don't miss the Afang soup. The mix of ingredients (beef, fish, palm oil, crawfish, bell pepper, shaki, waterleaf, okazi leaf, onion, periwinkle, and many others) is something you won't want to miss out on.

10. Beans with plantain - We are aware that you have your kind of beans. That's why it's on the list. You must try Nigerian beans every time you visit Nigeria. You get extra points for Ewa Agoyin and Agege bread.

11. Ogbono - This is the draw soup for culture. Top-notch and elite. You can try it with fufu or eba.
