Nigerian Food Recipes are often referred to as organic and they make good local dishes too especially when they are blended with other foreign recipes. Although, the local dishes may sound too Africanized but
they
have
proven
to
be
extremely
delicious
and
medicinal. No man in the entire world is known who is not a fan of good food. Sometimes, people even develop cravings for a meal they really like. I have people say I cannot go one day without eating this meal or that.
The funny thing is that they might not be able to really point out to a tangible reason for this; they just saw it as their good pleasure. Here is a list of good local dishes any man will eat and forget his mum. Pounded Iyan and Egusi Soup The major Nigerian food recipes for this delicacy are Yam and melon. Yam are well cooked and then pounded into soft Iyan which are better served warmed. Also, melon (Egusi) will be grinded along with pepper and other varieties of ingredient according to the taste of the
cook.
Then,
cooked
into
a
delicious
soup
while
adding locust beans and other local spices to make it completes. Arguably, one of the most popular Nigerian local dishes is pounded yam and egusi. There was a time I always say the food was overrated until a day I ate the same meal at a canteen in Ilesha, Osun State. It was like the best meal I had eaten all my entire life. I remember going back to the same canteen to eat the same meal two times a day. It was so on point. The memory is still as fresh
in
my
head
as
something
yesterday. Amala, Ewedu, and Gbegiri
that
just
happened
Amala, Ewedu and Gegiri are yet another Nigerian local dishes that are often combined to make a single meal. Gbegiri soup and ewedu soup are two delicious soups gotten by combining some moderately cheap Nigerian food recipes. In preparing this Nigerian local dish, cassava flour is stirred into Amala and Ewedu which is gotten from another vegetable of the same name will be cooked separately as well as Gbegiri. The
combination
of
ewedu
and
gbegiri
is
called
‘’abula’’. Many men have forgotten their homes because of this special combination. In some environment in Yoruba land, it is a regular lunch for them because it makes the body light after consumption. Akpu and Banga Soup Akpu
and
Banga
Soup
is
another
nice
combination
of
Nigerian local dishes, prepared even with Nigerian food recipes,
that
has
become
so
popular
even
among
the
elites. The good thing about this food is not the akpu itself which is made up of mainly mashed cassava but the Banga soup. The Banga soup is always made with so many ingredients in it. After much preparation, it is stocked with a lot of marine creatures that spice the soup
up.
As
a
result
of
this
sumptuous
meal,
most
people overfeed themselves and do not discover that until they try to move from their spots of eating.
