Maybe it's because I don't eat it, hence I don't pay much attention to it... It's mostly eaten in villages because goats are plenty there.

And sometimes I blame my mother because she neither eats goat, beef, pork, or mutton and as children, we always wanted to eat what she eats and not eat what she doesn't eat.. grin grin grin... So growing up, she stopped cooking such dishes in the house and we grew up not eating them.. I only started eating beef when I was a teenager and now I love it so much.

And of course, most Pedi ceremonies can't be complete without a goat, but they'll be chicken for those who don't eat it.
Well like others had said goat meat isn't cheaper buy I was actually talking about the entire goat not a pound or kilo..
All the same the goats and sheeps are cheaper to buy here in South Africa than a cow..
The reason we buy sheep for smaller occasions and buy meat from spar to supplement it or even add wors.. mostly cos we are inviting fellow south African friends.
Well all south Africans love beef...
I repeat all except vegetarians..
It's as if in ur previous life time.. ya all were deprived of meat or during the apartheid regime... ya all were deprived of it..
Well am only trying to buttress how much South Africans love meat in any form.

WannaHowzit, Lionessza6, KingCold, Jaceblaze, and there are two others, but I forgot their monickers.

There's also another one that I know, but I won't mention her because it's like she doesn't want to be noticed here.

She even stated on her profile that she's a troll or something like that, so I wouldn't want her to come for me for mentioning her.. grin grin grin

Growing up, my grandfather used to dry the beef in the sun.. But these ones we just buy them from the store already dried, so I'm not sure how they dry them.

One nairalander asked that I post about South African foods and I thought since I now have all the time to myself, let me do it now before something comes up.

mariahAngel, food is ready... grin grin grin


1. Samp and beans. You can either choose to eat it as it is, or you can add some lamb or beef stew on the side, even chicken stew... Personally I prefer beef stew because I don't eat lamb.


Your South African look westernized and thesame looks also africanised I must commend it, for looking in between, if it was too westernized you wouldn't have liked my kind of comment, our Nigerian food looks weird... Haha but we love it

But why eat animal coat when they're a variety of food that you can eat?

I thought you guys said chicken feet and intestines are poor people's food, but you eat animal coat... The same coat that is used to make leather clothes and shoes here... shocked shocked shocked

Lamb and sheep are normal food in most countries worldwide.

Is he or she still active here though? Because I've never seen the monicker around here since I registered on nairaland.

Same goes for XhosaNostra, I didn't mention her because she's no longer active here.

I want to understand something, when you buy your goat meat, do you buy it in a supermarket or you have to buy a whole complete live goat and then have it slaughtered?

Because I don't think our supermarkets have goat meat, or maybe I don't pay attention, I don't know... So far when you see a South African eating goat meat, it was bought alive and slaughtered.

I've never seen Nigerian food without meat in it, so I'm surprised when you guys keep saying we love meat too much in SA.

The restaurant sales is a reflection of the preferred choice of Nigerians though? undecided

If you serve chicken head πŸ” and chicken intestine (asides Gizzard) to a visitor to your home, how would you think they'd feel?
If you're okay with it then I guess you're not Nigerian or you're from a minority tribe that I may not know of in my country. Because the Nigerians that I know of will not serve chicken head πŸ” or intestine to their guest (unless requested).

Fair enough argument.

But I don't think she has said these foods were being served in their own restaurants too. It might just be what they eat in their pots at home.

We eat fish as well n ya all don't fancy it that much. U prefer meat anytime anyday...most of the packaged fish sold at OBC are been bought by foreigners and it doesn't move(marketing&sales) like meat does.
Concerning whether in Nigeria we buy goat meat whole(live) or in batches..
I'd say both..
For those doing business of cooking goat or using it daily. They buy in batches or they buy a whole goat n have a butcher come to their kitchen to kill it.. or they kill from the abbatoir or where the goat seller does slaughter n resell.
I remember making some Girl bck in 2018 like hake fish..
Cos I usually fry it n it taste nice n crunchy..
And I don't think she's ever personally cooked it
That one..like nigerians till thy kingdom come
Even has a child for a Nigerian now.

I'm actually talking about here in SA, how do you Nigerians buy your goat meat? Because I don't think we do have the meat in our food stores.

And for your information, I love fish.. grin grin grin... Both fried and tinned fish, but I don't consider it as our native food, hence I didn't post it... It kept me alive during my University days..πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.. we usually call tinned fish campus food.. grin grin grin

I think our love for meat comes from our Khoisan ancestors because they're well known hunters, but I still haven't seen any Nigerian food without meat.

1. Beef, pap, chakalaka, and salad.
2. Pap and chicken intestines.
4. Boerewors stew and samp or rice, even with pap it's good.

I was just thinking about my leather boots and I can't imagine eating that leather...🀣🀣🀣... It's way too hard.

Some of our native attires are made of goat and cattle coats... So what you guys see as food, we see it as clothing here..🀣🀣🀣

We both eat and wear them, depending on their form. πŸ˜‚


I've learned a lot today..🀣🀣🀣... And I really need get some sleep, but I don't feel sleepy.

I'm glad you created the thread.
It was interesting and so much fun. πŸ˜€

Below are pictures of palm oil and the nuts it's gotten from (palm kernel).
It's rich in vitamin E and antioxidants.
It also gives our soups their rich red colour.
