Dey play.. you wey chop fufu this morning

No. I had fried rice. 😌

Too late.

Thomasankara:
[/color]do it in the evening[color=#770077]

Samantha124:
I don't understand, can you use English?

Samantha ewa agoyin is Yoruba name for marshed beans predominantly cooked by the Agonyin people from Togo but it is very popular here in Nigeria with it's special stew

I have eaten almost everything here except Samp I don't like it

My favourites are pap, braai and put (Zulu food).

Favourite early morning chops is magunye

god bless Africa. Sa foods got me confused your "pap" is solid. here pap is a jelly like liquid made from seived maize

Samantha124:
What you guys talk of soup, what are you referring to? Because I keep seeing some of you mentioning soup over and over again.

I've never eaten Nigerian food before.

Nigerian soup is made of chopped or grinded dry vegetables, with meat/fish

IJOBA11:
I HAVE NO BUSINESS WITH RICE 🌾

You see? And I don't find you weird.
So, live and let live. 😌

it's only fufu you can eat days later... Semo, Eba, two, pounded yam etc... Will spoil that very day if you are not careful ,

ghettochild4u:

The difference Is that pap is hard when cold and can't be enjoyed the next day..
Every Nigerian swallow can be eaten days after preparation as long as it hasn't gone stale.
It doesn't get hard like pap does

ghettochild:
Goat is way cheaper than cow meat in Nigeria.

Not true. Especially for those that prefer the southern goats (West African Dwarf goat) vs the taller northern goats. Compare the price of a kilo of goat meat with a kilo of cow meat. Beef is always always cheaper

I see..

Even though I've never seen Nigerian food in real life, I've seen some in few of your movies, on YouTube and here on nairaland... That thing looks like mashed potatoes... You even call it swallow because you don't chew it, you just swallow, meaning it's way too soft to chew.

Your side dishes always seem too oily and what surprised me is that you guys can cook three different types of meat in one pot at the same time.. How are you guys able to taste each flavour of the meat when cooked altogether?

I once watched a video whereby a Nigerian was cooking goat, chicken, and fish altogether and I was like whaaaat😂😂😂😂

What you refer to as Nigerian is mainly yoruba dishes. There are different tribes in Nigeria and they all cook differently. The only truly Nigerian food is Jollof rice, every other food is tribal.

Zaccshegzy:


Chicken intenstine that we used to throw away here

Different strokes for different folks. People dey troway shaki, we dey rush am here. People dey troway ponmo/kpomo, we no dey let am rest hear. People dey troway cowleg or cowhead, Nigerians dey use few bottles of beer push them down for bele

Samantha124:
I think I did mentioned my personal favorites on the list.

I asked for your Top 3.

Zaccshegzy:


Chicken intenstine that we used to throw away here

Yeah, we don't eat chicken intestine here in Nigeria, we do throw it away so I was wondering how they will be feeling eating it.

We all have different preferences depending on the environment we were raised it.

I find most of your food too oily too, but I understand that it's your native food.

Iamkaro:
Their food doesn't look so good compare to ours

mariahAngel:


Hahahahahahaha
I like how you own your ish! 😀

Most Nigerians will claim they don't eat chicken heads and feet.

I do eat Chicken feet but I don't eat chicken head.

illicit:


Oh really
U are used to ur diet, it's normal and natural

Nigerian men and women can not live on bread alone u know

How do our people survive there? Probably they have Nigerian restaurants where the serve our cuisine

You have nice soup

But I/we like swallows, solid foods and Rice

I have a taste for good food. Anywhere I go, I stick with their food. I may go for Nigerian food once in awhile, but I'm never really hungry for it.

We do plant crops, hence there are veggies there.

Thomasankara:
[/color]so u people hardly plant crops,rather engage in rearing animals?[color=#770077]

Apart from chicken gizzard I don't think I can chop the rest. E be lie abasha to me

But how do you guys cook chicken and tripe altogether?

How will you be able to taste each flavour when cooked altogether?

FairlyUSEDpussy:


Check this out.......

This what we Nigerians refer to as solid food (swallow)........

There u have the l cattle stomach lining (triipe)

Hmmm
E be like say the mod wey ahnie been dey fvck, be like say na samantha dey fvck am now o

ghettochild4u:

I do eat Pam and samp as well
But u know we mostly miss the food(swallows) we grew up eating.
Hence we buy if u can't cook it...
If you move abroad you will miss South African foods n therefore sought out shops that sell ur food.

Please explain what is South Africans Samp. If Pam is same with Nigerian pap except from being too strong. What is Samp made from

Well, there are different type of ways to prepare them depending on one's preferences... But I'll think about it..

coputa:
@Samantha,i just knew that you are a south African, how are you enjoying nairaland You did a great job by the display of those palatable dishes. Could you please list the ingredients of one those dishes and how it's being prepared.

IkeIgboNiile:
It seems like black south Africans were feeding on grass before the white man came. How is it that you guys don't have local dishes and not goat this, beef that.

Nigerians in South Africa are really trying because have to spend a lot on foods. All these foods here look like dessert except pap.

Don't people cook Nigerian "local" dishes with goat and beef? Kilishi and Suya are beef based "Local" dish. Isi-ewu is goat based. Ukodo by the Urhobos is goat based. So are all these goat and beef Nigerian foods also "white peoples food"?

Samantha124:
No, we don't... I first heard about it here on nairaland.

Jesu

Samantha124:
7. Braai. I don't know what you guys call it, but I believe it's some sort of a barbecue.. It goes well with pap, chakalaka, and some salad... I personally prefer it with cold pap.. There's something about that cold pap and braai..

hmm,all these south africa foods look like faeces

IJOBA11:
THIS ONE DON DEY FORM 😡

How is not liking swallow forming? They didn't say they can't eat it. Just that it's not their preferred meal. I had to grudgingly eat Eba as lunch Monday to Saturday. While I can eat Eba, it won't be my first pick on a menu.

We also eat lamb, pork, and mutton.

We buy them from supermarkets.. The gizzards, livers, and intestines can also be sold in bulk.

I only eat a soup only once in a while, since the year started, I haven't eaten any.

What's the difference between a gravy and a soup? Because I've eaten gravy.

stasius:
You guys eat a lot of meat.

Chicken legs... Chicken gizzard... Chicken liver... Chicken intestines..

Then beef... Beef.. Beef. Few beans and cereal.
You guys don't have soups?
I also wonder how many fowls you have to kill to make a family a dinner of chicken intestines or liver or gizzard.

Ooh ooh ya!

No wonder their women de get big nyash

MichaelSokoto:

u gor Jez waste transport 4 nathin!

Lol, but I love that place.

airsaylongcome

Don't people cook "local" dishes with goat ń land beef? Kilishi and Suya are beef based "Local" dish. Isi-ewu is goat based. Ukodo by the Urhobos is goat based. So are all these goat and beef Nigerian foods also "white peoples food"?

Many indigenous dishes in Nigeria can be prepared without meat or fish. Here in the east, there are a dozen local dishes that have no business with meat or fish.
Also i never said having goat meat classifies a meal as white people food. I mean they don't have local dishes that can be prepared with onions,maggi,theme and other foreign condiments that Africans got from our association with the white man.

Jahwinaboy:
Most of South African foods are made from Goat, fowl and cattle intestines/meat if I get you correctly? No native soup or local dishes?

That's their dishes. Which one be local dishes?

Samantha124:
Our foods are different..

Yeah sure. Someday you will taste Nigerian delicacies. Well done. Meanwhile, awaiting the day you will make a post debunking or exposing Xenophobia in SA. Nigerian guys would like to enlightened by you

Zaccshegzy:


Chicken intenstine that we used to throw away here

Is gizzard not an intestine? The last time I checked . Nigerians eat chicken gizzards.
