I have taken a good look at the foods we have in nigeria and i can truely say, we are blessed. join me and let us talk about our food culture.

Nigeria has a variety of delicious and nutritious food made from fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood and their preparation depends greatly on the types of the food. Food and drinks in Nigeria is more of geographical location, tribes or ethnic groups. This is so because Nigeria is a big country with more than 250 different tribes and this simply means that the country has more than 200 varieties of local food and drinks. Generally, there are some common food stuff such as rice, beans or peas, plantain etc; that are being eaten all over the country. However, a visit to Nigeria will enable you to experience traditional Nigerian food and no matter what your taste is Nigeria has something for you that will suit your appetite

Nigerian food is typical of that found throughout West Africa, with regional variations. In the north, meat is more popular than in other areas.
There are restaurants of all varieties all over the country offering food such as pounded yam, rice & beans, jollof and fried rice etc. Although there are self-service cafes, mainly in department stores, most restaurants have table service.
To enjoy Nigerian traditional food such as pounded yam, yam flour, meat stew, visit the local restaurants where these food are being served.
