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.

You really must think our foods ends with these ones
Trust me, the surface has barely been scratched

So you don't eat tripe and beef?

sprints1:
Apart from chicken gizzard I don't think I can chop the rest. E be lie abasha to me

Samantha124:
Okay..

Both pap and samp are made of maize.

Another name for pap is maize meal.

Housing:



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

This was my alternate account created a long time ago, just logged in to see the profile is female, edited already

Samantha124:
Then why state that you're a female?

But I did mentioned it... It's number 1..

xpress101:
YOU DID NOT ADD STUDENTS/CAMPUS FAVOURITES (IT SAVES ME A LOT EHN) ------ "THE ALMIGHTY SPATLO"

No.

Efisimilala:
No swallows?

The mighty impregnator has spoken..😂😂😂

And thank you for understanding... Any other baby on the way?🤣🤣🤣

ImpregnaTor:
Most Nigerians here sound a bit ignorant

Expecting south Africa to have similar food as our's and even getting surprised they are not eating swallows etc

like come on South Africa and Nigeria are very far from each other, So we really don't have much in common. Most of our tropical crops here too can't be grown in south Africa, there are some difference in our weather, climate and vegetations, hence most crops found here are not common there.

We can only expect some level of similarities in
our food with our west African brothers.

Southies are meat, bread and pap people

Samantha124:
But you guys also add meat in your food..

Yeah. But yours looking meaty. I like meat

Samantha124:
At least someone likes SA food in here..😂😂😂

Yes I do

Stop criticising other countries food, I also don't think I can eat your native food because they just look way too messy for me.

But I don't criticize them because I know that they're your native food.

focus7:
It looks better and richer than Ghanaian for that looks like sacrifices.

Love800:
Can u eat bread nd egusi soup

Why not? Shey you dey whine me ni? But I can not eat bread with draw soup, but Egusi sure banker😂

Samantha124:
Okay.

please don't be offended with my comments. It's just my opinion.
You really did a great job.

Okay..

OBTOREPA:

Any of your favourite delicacies.

I don't understand.. Can you use English?

Konjiboii:
Samantha you go sweet make I no lie

Okay..

tonididdy:
I don't think these are justifiable enough to be tagged " South African dishes"


I see berbecue in the list... Every corner of the earth, eats berbecue, in Nigeria we call it suya. You cannot claim this as a SAn food because its meat in general.

Same applies to the sausages and liver with gizzards.


... In Nigeria, I can name a meal you cannot find anywhere else. That kind of meal is exclusively tagged, " Nigerian Food"


You cannot claim meat and gixxards as sAn food!

ghettochild:
They swallows are Eba(garri),fufu,semolina,wheat flour, Amala, pounded yam, tuwo( south African pap but way softer n never gets hard like your pap).
Let's say our tuwo is ur pap but imagine it been grinded again into a finer powder.

Thank you for this, I was wondering if 'ogi' is what she refers to as pap.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Cameroon and Cotonou food, so I can't say they're the same or not.

sharone21:


Im guessing that what SA calls pap is what Cameroon and Cotonou ( Benin Republic) call fufu corn though both eat it with soup which is common there. Samantha please clarify this.

Moroccans also eat bread with soup or sardines using their hands: This is an African thing.

SA like us etc, also soak bread in tea to eat. Chicken and beef is a delight to them, one of them I once knew dreaded the thought of seeing chicken at a time because he ate it too much when they were young and had mostly chicken which the family could afford.

Yep.

mzansiboy:


Seafood is mostly eaten by the coloured people, especialy on the coast. Different foods for different races. South Africa has alot of different cultures and races, so food is different depending on where you are.

But there is pap.

Godsgift7837:
I can’t find my pap and gravy on the list.

MichaelSokoto:

low a$s budget kilishi!

Las las, southy dey suffer 4rm lack of better food!

em no get ogbono, egusi or even okro soup!

Your signature though 😂🤣

Samantha124:
Is Gizdodo made from gizzards?

Yes. Made with gizzards and fried plantains.
The Giz in the word is gizzard in short form.
In the 3rd picture are some of the ingredients used in making gizdodo.

Well, you should blame your brothers for that because they're the ones who keep tarnishing the Nigerian name here.

Godsgift7837:
I don’t agree with this entirely. Your brothers are chasing both legal and illegal immigrants. I was detained for two days last week even when I provided proof that I have permit and they even threatened to destroy my passport if I wasn’t careful. I ended up paying R3000 before they let me go. I fear PTA

I've never eaten food prepared like that before.

Lagosianswag:


Don't mind that person. It's not for saving gas. It's just that many Nigerians (especially Southern Nigerians) like assorted meat in a pot.

But I'm surprised you find it difficult differentiating the taste of different meat in one cooking.
Maybe some of us have special taste buds Because there's no amount of disguise you can do to dog meat in a soup of beef, chicken and fish I'd know you added dog meat (which I don't like)

Yep.

What's sapa now

Lagosianswag:


Shaki is the Tripe you mentioned. We like cow, sheep and goat intestines but Chicken intestines is not eaten by many Nigerians unless Sapa hold you
Chicken head and feet is not a favourite, it's a sign of Sapa if you start eating chicken "leftovers".

But Alas! Cultures differ!

Samantha124:
By cooking three different types of meat altogether?😂😂😂

Tough times call for austerity measures ...

The overwhelming increase of cooking gas or kerosine for kerosine stoves ..

People can't even use their electric stoves cos of high energy cost ..

Reality though is that it does not affect the taste of any of the proteins ..

The only stuff most people won't cook with the others are the innings ( tripes , stoma h walls , liver ,kidney ,heart etc )

When these proteins are cooked and added to soups or stews they absorb the flavour as that is what matters to the average Nigerian ..


Preparing and spicing proteins seprate from soups and stews is not common to the average Nigerian.

Yes..

achimendy:





Samantha all this for me??

Oh! That's nice..

emmyN:


Personally, I've never seen any one cooking different kinds of meat in the same pot here. Most times when we have meat in our food we usually go with a single variety at a time

Samantha124:
2. Chicken feet. You guys know chicken feet..

Matching ground is a no no for me
