Local food
Nigerian food is typically very spicy, as the country is home to many chili peppers. Common local ingredients used in cooking include yams, cassava, plantains, rice, beans, maize, peanuts, ginger, and tomatoes. One of the most popular dishes is nkwobi, which is a stew made with cow feet. Another popular dish is isi ewu, a goat head stew. Oha soup, a leafy vegetable soup, is also a favorite among Nigerians. Akara, fried bean cakes, are also a common snack.
Continental food
Continental food is typically lighter and less spicy than traditional Nigerian fare. Common dishes include items such as eggs, bacon, toast, coffee, and juice. Other popular dishes include spaghetti, lasagna, chicken parmesan, and beef stroganoff. Desserts such as tiramisu, cannoli, and crème brûlée are also typically found on continental menus. Many continental hotel restaurants also offer a selection of wine and beer.
Fast food
Fast food is usually high in calories, fat, and sodium. It can also lead to obesity. Fast food is often addictive because it is high in fat and salt. Fat and salt are two of the most addictive substances in food. When you eat fast food, your body gets used to the high fat and salt content. This can make it difficult to stop eating fast food even when you are trying to diet or eat healthier.
The problem with fast food is that it is often very unhealthy. Fast food is typically high in calories, fat, and sodium. These three nutrients are essential to a healthy diet, but they are also some of the most harmful when consumed in excess. Too much fat can lead to obesity, heart disease, stroke, and other health problems. Sodium is essential for proper cell function, but too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and other health problems.
Finger food
Finger food is a type of food that can be eaten without utensils. It is often served as an appetizer or snack, and can be made from a variety of ingredients, including meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, and fruit. Finger foods are often dipped in sauces or spreads, and can be cooked using a variety of methods, including frying, baking, grilling, and smoking.
Some popular finger foods in Nigeria include plantain chips, yam chips, coconut shrimp, chicken fingers, beef jerky, and fruit kabobs. Plantain chips are made from unripe plantains that have been peeled and sliced into thin strips. They are then fried until they are golden brown and crispy. Yam chips are made from yams that have been peeled, sliced into thin strips, and fried. Coconut shrimp are made from shrimp that have been coated in a mixture of flour and shredded coconut, then deep-fried. Chicken fingers are made from chicken breast meat that has been cut into strips and breaded or battered before being fried. Beef jerky is made from lean beef that has been trimmed of fat and cut into strips. It is then marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and other spices before being dried. Fruit kabobs are made by skewering chunks of fresh fruit on a bamboo skewer or toothpick.
