Chronicles of Naija - The Food Diary

I came, i saw and i ATE!!!!!

This post is an ode to all the delicious Nigerian delicacies i consumed whilst on vacation. I am not joking when i say majority of what i did centered around eating and making sure that i sampled all the things i had craved for so long.

White Rice with Spinach and fired plantain, served with Chicken stew

Efo Riro (Spinach) - cooked with dry fish, pepper & spices



Eba (made from Cassava flour) served with Egusi Soup and Fish stew

Jollof Rice, Garnished fried beef & fried plantain

Top Picture- White Rice with assorted meat stew
Bottom Picture- Garinished Snail, Fisherman's pepper soup

Suya - Grilled meat served with special suya pepper

Nkwobi - Cowleg delicacy


Ofada rice & stew with Moimoi
Ofada rice- Whole grain unprocessed rice
moi-moi- made from blended beans, onions, pepper and seasoning and your choice of boiled egg or sardine

I am not usually a white wine fan, but this South African wine by Noble Hill was lovely

Shawarma  Nigerian style - This right here is the BUSINESS, absolutely delicious, tastes different to the ones sold in the UK
In certain places they add a special sausage which gives it the finger licking goodness  #LOVEIT

Agege Bread with Akara
Akara (bean cake)- made from blended beans, onions and spices which is then fried








Ube (African Pear)- Usually eaten with Corn but can also be eaten on it's own









SuperYogo-  Frozen Yoghurt icecream
The best in the world FULL STOP
