Honestly speaking, my man is the one who introduced me to a healthy balanced diet because he's obsessed with eating healthy. hammerFC: |

I've done some screenshots, but I'm too lazy to post them tonight because I first have to go on world war 3 with Nairaland before I can be able post them... Nairaland is always giving me a tough time when I have to post pictures and on top of that, I've got a severe headache tonight. But so far, it seems like no one knows them.. One even referred me to a kiddies show... ![]() ![]() ![]() The one person that claimed to have tasted them before said they were imported for those Nigerian stores here in SA... So I'm guessing that they're only available in Nigerian stores and restaurants. Silentgroper: |

mariahAngel:It's reasonable...there's a fixed price by retailers here... so if you think u can sell cheaper.... Then you are welcome to set up shop. I'll definitely patronize u in bulk as I hope one day to own a foodstuff shop here in the Eastern cape. I personally buy from Joburg cbd n have it sent to me via bus... it's cheaper and bigger in terms of size. 1 carton of noodle is 170r from jhb and its sold here 270.. I usually buy when am ordering materials for my business |

Are you talking about subsistence farming or commercial farming? Silentgroper: |
Re: South Africans Eating Nigerian Food For The First Time by Silentgroper(m): 9:00am On Oct 24, 2023 |
Samantha124:subsistence most especially but both |
Re: South Africans Eating Nigerian Food For The First Time by Nobody: 10:28am On Oct 24, 2023 |
Maize, cabbages, spinach, peanuts, leafy greens, beetroots, carrots, watermelons, butternuts, tomatoes, sugarcanes, and beans. Silentgroper: |
Re: South Africans Eating Nigerian Food For The First Time by Silentgroper(m): 10:49am On Oct 24, 2023 |
Samantha124:you eat beans, hahahahaha ... I guess you guys are not so weird afterall.. πππ How do you lots eat your beans by the way... I'm curious... |
Re: South Africans Eating Nigerian Food For The First Time by Nobody: 11:10am On Oct 24, 2023 |
We'd either mix them with samp or eat them as they are with some side dishes. We also have baked beans that we'd usually mix with some of our dishes. They're cooked differently based on the person's preferences.... But my mom and sister don't eat beans at all. Silentgroper: |
Re: South Africans Eating Nigerian Food For The First Time by Silentgroper(m): 2:26pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
Samantha124:we eat them with breads, corn (maize), plantain, garri(cassava flakes) and umm probably custards and pap ( pap is most preferable) .. The beans can also grinded and made into marshed texture and fried in which AKARA(Beans cake) is made also preferable eaten with bread, garri and pap .. Beans in this form can't be eaten with plantain in case you're curious... In that same marshed form it can be cooked to to form beans puddling or whatever the name is but it's locally called moi moi ... What abt banana, you seem familiar with banana .. You guys don't plant that... |
Re: South Africans Eating Nigerian Food For The First Time by Nobody: 4:04pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
We only ate beans occasionally in the house because Mom doesn't eat them... She's so picky to a point that there were a lot of things we were deprived from eating in the house because of her... I only started eating beef when I was a teenager and as old as I am, I've never tasted pork or mutton before... Last time I had goat meat was when I was younger and in my grandparents house. The most painful thing was when she cut down spicy food in the house, we'd only eat them occasionally... Sometimes I think she's selfish because she has admitted that in her younger years, she used to love spicy food. As for bananas, some grow them in their yards, it's an optional thing... My sister has like 8 banana trees in her backyard... The environment is also not always friendly for them in some parts of SA, so we end up buying them from supermarkets. Silentgroper: |
Re: South Africans Eating Nigerian Food For The First Time by Silentgroper(m): 8:48pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
Samantha124:never eaten pork too .. Goat meats, I've eaten that alot like my life depends on it . Mostly when it's being used to make pepper soup.. Pretty sure you guys don't take anything pepper soup.... Seriously you should take vacation to Nigeria if not for anything but our food.. Spicy food is part of our culture down here .. Esp amongst the Yoruba tribe ... If our food ain't spicy, it ain't sweet and worth eating ... Your mom must've had her reason she had she decided to cut down on it .. might have affected greatly after having too much so she's just being caring by avoiding the same for her kids aka you π ... Though what do you mean the environment is not so friendly for them.. do you mean the soil?? |
Re: South Africans Eating Nigerian Food For The First Time by Nobody: 9:28pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
Because I was raised by a picky mother, I tend to be picky too and you guys add a lot of stuff in your food... You'd mix fish with goat meat, and chicken, for me that's mission impossible... You also eat both cattle and goats coat, in my culture, that coat is part of our traditional attires. I don't want to offend anyone by speaking badly about their food, but if I had to try Nigerian food, I'd go for jollof rice rice and those fried bananas you guys call plantains... ![]() ![]() ![]() Some areas can be too hot and dry to grow banana trees and apparently it also depends on the soil type and texture.

Re: South Africans Eating Nigerian Food For The First Time by Silentgroper(m): 9:42pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
Samantha124: What kind of food does one mixes fish with goat meat .. That isn't a Nigerian delicacy, nt sure where you heard of those.. lol .. Lmao .. what's coat?? You mean theirs hides and skin aka ponmo (leather) .. is that you refer to as coat hahahahaha, very funny .. Wait till you're being served a plate of spicy kponmo and some ice cold ice tea.. you would've gulped down three plates before you remember you just ate what is being used to make some cloth . LoL. About being picky, I can bet my left balls that would be non existent when these meals are being prepared for you .. You can start with fried bananas first though and you catch up with the rest later onππππ Fried banana!!! That phrase still cracks me up .. |
Re: South Africans Eating Nigerian Food For The First Time by Nobody: 10:18pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
I've seen videos of Nigerian ladies on YouTube cooking fish, goat, and chicken all together in one pot, so don't act clueless...πππ Anyways, enjoy your food. Silentgroper: |
