Some breakfast in Nigeria are as follows: -Yam, sweet potato and fried egg or Nigerian fish sauce -Pap(ogi) and moi moi(beans cake) or akara(fried beans cake) -Bread and fried egg/fish sauce/blueband butter/sardine with tea (bournvita/milk and milk)
I cook Nigerian food at home because my partner in Nigerian, but I cook it because i love it too especially egusi with a lot of kpomo ❤. Much love from UK 🇬🇧
I once tried pepper soup, it was tasty to say the truth, but my tongue was in shock! Nigerians are very welcoming and I have visited the country many times and have a lot of respect for Nigerians.
I'm a Nigerian and I can tell you that there's nothing like yam brownie in Nigeria, it's definitely not a Nigerian dish. I'm glad you enjoyed our food!!
There’s new foods invented now o. Trust me. I had one village rice in an upscale restaurant in Abj and its the best rice I’ve ever eaten in my life. Nigerians dey cook abeg
@@keksolean1625no but she got a point😂 there is nothing special about the food, the rest of west africa eat the same food so it really not special if a senegalese eats nigerian food or an ivorien eat nigerian. The food are besically the same things just called different depending on the languages. Like if a gambian try puff puff it won't be special because they also make it😂 but they just have a different bame for it. Nothing special Even jollof rice all africa eat it but they just have different names for it and some might make it with more spice than others but it the same thing
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️🕊, that's extremely heartbreaking, sending love to you and all your family ❤🥲, great video though keep up the good work, I love these type of food videos so much 😭❤️!!
Nigerian here🇳🇬! And yeah, you passed the vibe check. You certainly didn’t eat the meals like a first-timer.🥰🥰 Also, this is the first time I see someone open a Fanta bottle with a car seatbelt. That’s really creative, I never would have thought of that.🤗
Nigerian food is delicious and most of us barely scratch the surface and we are nigerians, 36 states with their own uniqueness. Its crazy diverse in one country, still shocks me everytime we visist a different region and discovering new foods.
@@Just.A.BL.Fan8certainly a great response! I don't know why someone would think a country's dishes are whack. First time I tried couscous, I thought not much of it but as I continued to eat it(Moroccan way of eating it) since it was the national dish of Morocco and was served every Friday, I grew to love it! I really enjoyed Moroccan dishes.
No we actually have breakfast. Yam and sauce, yam and egg, omelettes and plantain, bean cake (Akara or kosai) and pap (similar to a porridge) but not many restaurants serve breakfast items
9:28 -- Bush mango seed (it taste nothing like mango but that's the closest name ancestors could link it to) 9:41 - Kpomo/pomo aka cow hide/skin 9:58 - from texture you described, it might be cow head meaty bit 11:03 -- I almost fell off my chair. Gas/electric bill to consider 11:12 -- Tendon of cow 11:52 - the reason its sticky on your fingers is because you are not cutting it properly. there are loads of video online to show you how its done. If you know how to cut and roll pounded yam, it will not stick to your fingers/palm no matter how soft the pounded yam is except its badly made. Regarding texture, Nigeria has endless types of soups, it all depends on the restaurant / tribe of the restaurant chef / etc. I will suggest you try "Efo", "Edikaicon", "Afang" there are more on the leafy/veg 13:38 - I learn something new today. I didn't know I can use my seatbelt to open a bottle. EPIC 20:42 - The bitterness from the egusi is from veg/leaf used called "bitter leaf". The bitterness can be controlled, it all depends on the restaurant/chef. the smokiness is from smoked fish/prawn however that wasn't the smokiness you described at the end so, you really haven't tried quality egusi soup. it is a soup that is dynamic with arrays of cooking techniques depending on the region you are from in Nigeria. Well done. BTW, you have only tried 5% of Nigerian food. Don't worry, even Nigerians have not tried upto 85% of Nigerian food
I stumbled to this video and really enjoyed it. As a Nigerian, I would like to add that not all Nigerians cook Ogbono or Egwusi soups the same way. It's all about measurements or adjusting the ingredients to your liking. Example, add 1/2 a cup of Eqwusi seeds instead of 1 cup. Same with Ogbono. Like with any recipes, adjust to your taste buds or food textures. Thanks again for a nice video 🎉
Love your videos and your honest feedback. Well done for keep on going with your video after your father passed away, he will be in my duas as well as you and your family. Your a strong young lady ❤
you really do make me happy you know, I have the worst social anxiety but to watch these videos and see how you push yourselves out of your comfort zone is just lovely to see. I hope to follow in your footsteps xx
Im so sorry for ur loss, May Allah Grant him thr highest Rank in Jannah..Ameen 🤲🏻 All the strength to u,💪🏻 keep up with ur videos, with ur funny laughter u make us laugh❤😂
Salam underrated hijabi I’m so sorry for your loss … I recently lost my grandfather and I know it is not the same grief but I want you to know that your not the only one … inshallah you will reunite in Jannah … sending love and strength ❤
I absolutely love your energy and willingness to try new food. So so sorry for your loss, may Almighty give you and your family strength needed at this time. We are going through the same as I lost my brother recently and I needed a laugh, Thank you 🙏🏽 I discovered you today and subscribed. Well done👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤗
Well done for trying Nigerian food! I love how you tried everything and went to different restaurants 👌🏾. We definitely have more traditional breakfast options in case anyone is wondering. One of my favourite Nigerian breakfast dishes is Ewagoyin (mased beans in a spicy sauce) with freshly baked bread or Akara (fried bean paste) with custard. Sorry for your loss and keeping you and your family in my prayers 🙏🏾
wow looks amazing. i watched all your videos of trying different countries food and i am soo happy to finally see you trying nigerian 🇳🇬 food!! looks amazing. for the pounded yam you are meant to chew. and also i am verry sorry for your loss. may allah grant him jannat al firdaus. lots of love from your nigerian sister
@@UnderratedHijabi Mashaallah, you are so cool and brave!!! It takes a lot to continue the video with such a sad information. I will keep him in my prayer and wish the best for you and your family. ❤❤❤
I am Nigerian and feel proud that you tried our meals. I am sorry for your loss 🤗 Trying the dinner made me so hungry 😅 (jollof rice) Zobo was probably too concentated with too much lime/lemon. Plus ive personally never heard of yam brownie. From looking at the last meals, they all looked dry. - my take on this last meal is that not all cooks get the memo and this cuts across every kitchen. I enjoyed this video and will love to see you cook some Nigerian meals. ( I have a few easy to follow recipes you could check)
Actually Nigeri does have breakfast, it's usually- yam and egg, moinmoin and ogi(pap) akara and pap... bread and eggs, beans and bread.. these are the more common Nigerian breakfast! Yes they do have rice at times but often times breakfast is from what I listed above.
I’m Haitian and I’ve been to Nigeria a few times and I can honestly say I loooooove their flavours but almost every meat I ate was tough. The turkey wasn’t so bad. I cooked for my husband when we started dating and he instantly notice the difference in my meat. Imagine Haitian food and Nigerian food coming together. My house hands down has the best foods. 🇭🇹🇳🇬
Lol i love Haitians. Sis please dont do this. See a whole culture eat something a certain way and imply they are wrong. We like our meats "tough" we generally don't like overly soft meat. But there are still many of us who do like softer meat. Your husband may not like your soft meat as much as you think but is too polite to say so. I may be wrong.
Lovely videoo!!! was giggling all through. The other meat with the tripes (the meat you didn't try in the video), is called "ponmo", it's cow skin cooked till it's soft and it tastes absolutely great, the last one that you felt was quite hard is cow meat, maybe wasn't soft enough. As a Nigerian, I've neither heard nor seen yam brownie, i'd be terrified to try such😂. Also, I believe mixing ribena with orange juice ain't a thing in Nigeria, never heard of it nor tasted it (I may be wrong, maybe It's not a thing in the part of Nigeria I lived). Sorry for your loss!
I enjoyed watching your video, which I stumbled on because of the 'Nigerian Food' Title. I am Nigerian and British. As a child in Nigeria in the 1960s and 1970s we had Bread/Toast etc; Porridge; Boiled Yam and fried Eggs; Pap Moi Moi; Acara for Breakfast. Times may have changed now. We also had Fried Yam for Dinner. You were right to mould the pounded yam with your fingers. I have never heard of Hibiscus Drink - Must be new since i left Nigeria decades ago. Yam Brownie?? Never heard of that. Nor the drink you had at the top of the video - all new since I left Nigeria decades ago. I may ask for these when next I am in a Nigerian Restaurant just to try them You did well with the 'swallow'. I have always chewed since I was a child. I must be the only Nigerian who chews 'swallow'🤣 I LOVE Supermalt! Haven't had it in years though! May buy it soon. When next I am in South London, I shall try and stop by at Cookedby_b (I prefer soft plantain)- Their food looked nice Loved your comments. I am now following you.
Hey I’m an Egyptian and I would rlly recommend u try Egyptian food e.g Koshari. It’s rlly nice. So pls do try ans eat Egyptian food for 24 hours I’m sure that other Egyptians and Arabs would like to see that video as well and btw they have the best deserts it’s cultural food is awesome. Lots of love ❤️ btw I rlly love ur content it always makes me happy to watch on of ur videos ❤️
I am a Nigerian, but we eat banku all the time, and sincerely I had that yesterday. I still have the black sauce for donkunu in my fridge. I love donkunu the most. I luv krakra soup as well esp wit pounded yam. There's this soup I like too, but can't spell it... I think it's abenkwein
I am Nigerian and we do loads of breakfast options. What we don’t have is desserts, but we have snacks. Breakfast include: -yam &fried egg or garden egg sauce, -plantain & egg, -Akara (which is a bean cake) with Ogi (this is a similar to custard but tastes different And many others: like bread and stuff
When I was a lot younger, I would not eat any swallow with any kind of draw soup (because of the texture). But as I got older I ease into it and eat my food perfectly well. I believe that the drawness of the soup helps with the swallow sliding easily through. So, you are not alone with the texture thing, I think a lot of us got used to it with frequent consumption. Side note: There is a traditional saying that Egusi soup is best (topmost) for pounded-yam- I have never tried pounded-yam with ogbonno draw soup, but however, I have tried it with other draw soup once or twice in my life (it was manageable). I will opt for Egusi anytime for that dish though.
I love the way you enjoyed the white rice and stew.. thanks for enjoying our ogbono soup.. that smocky party jellof rice takes your taste to another level.❤❤❤.
hi pls do ghanaian food next Breakfast=Bofrot, meat pie and milo lunch=waakye with all the sides.( you must have shito as a side sauce) Dinner=Tuo zafi and drink of your choice And if you can please try our national dish plantain fufu and light soup. Snacks= ghana chips and nuts Ghana toffe Drinks=Brukina asaana sobolo enjoy our cuisine my condolences to you and your family, you will all be in my prayers.
This means so much to me as u are trying different culture foods all around the world so I think u should make an episode which can be called 'Trying Foods Around The World'. I also think the series/episode would be a great idea for ur channel so people will think that ur cultured!
Girl!!!! Lol, there was me saying I gotta go to an Enish restaurant, safe to say I've made a U-turn on that decision! Your reaction to the Zobo drink 😂 I was almost crying!!!! Your personality is life!!! Allahumma baarik! Love your videos x
I was all smiles until I heard about your loss. My condolences on your loss. This was such an enjoyable video to watch. Did you really use your seatbelt to open the bottle of fanta? LOL The way you took on that meal from Cooked by B - I was jealous.
You did a great job with this. What we have in the diaspora doesn't do absolute justice to how diverse Nigerian cuisine is as most is cooked with profit in mind e.g the Tripe is not triping because it's not well-cooked, the 'pounded yam' is actually not pounded yam but yam-flour that is stirred into what you have there. All in all, great job. May Allaah (SWT) grant him Jannah Firdaus.
I am a Nigerian and Ive never had rice for breakfast. We do have beans porridge, yam and egg, potatoes and egg, egg sauce with bread, tea, plantains etc. rice is for lunch or dinner. The girl at the restaurant is not well informed.
Love all the way from Lagos, Nigeria ❤️. Sorry that you didn't enjoy the moi-moi, it's a delicious meal but it's not everyone that knows how to make and if not properly done you won't enjoy it. And the original way is in the leaves, tastes so yummy!
As a Nigerian I'm excited to watch this......I love your other videos , this will be fun x. Hugs and kisses sorry about your daddy X loved this video ......❤❤❤
Nigeria do have breakfast foods for example, they have fried eggs & bread with tea ( brioche) type/ sweet. They also have pap kinda similar to custard but made from corn & other ingredients. They also have egg stew & boild yams( African yams ) or Akara which is black eye beans, fritters eating with pap! & a plattery of other kinds of foods.. Foods also depends on which region & or social economical backgrounds of an individual. ( All Love from oakland California ) by way of Auchi in Edo state south. South of Nigeria 🇳🇬
Dear sister, I am so happy that you got to try Nigerian food My favourite from all you tried was the OGBONO soup it looks so yummy!!! And it had all the necessary motivation in to, pomo, shaki and some meat, probably ram or cow meat. Which it had stock fish in it though. We have quite a variety of delicious soups in Nigeria. And our foods are absolute delights
We do have breakfast. We eat agege bread and milky tea with fried eggs which consist of tomato peppers and onions and then we eat it with plantains. Sometimes we eat akamu and akara.
