Most are chemicals after adding enough preser.... no wonder most of dem dey sick sha.

They don't have more sick people abroad than in Africa. Actually if there should anywhere with more sick people it should be Africa than in the West owing to their advancement to balanced nutrition and exercising. We love our food because that's what we were trained to eat not because it's better than theirs.

Year of personal experience
City like Toronto, Montreal has big Caribbean community

Talking from experience too. Canada is much bigger than Montreal or Toronto. Either way, this is not a Canada vs America thing. Thanks

What I miss most is roasted plaintain. Most of the foods listed there can be gotten in African markets. As a matter of fact, I cook Nigerian meals most of the times

19. Asun Goat Meat


Asun is a popular Nigerian barbecued goat meat with pepper sauce. It serves as an appetizer and always classified as a finger food. Asun is well-known in the Western part of Nigeria, among the Yoruba tribes. When Nigerians abroad crave for Asun, they remember their family gatherings or pleasant memories from home.

. U too like food

In the later 80's find Nigeria food was difficult.

Yes in some areas but because NYC is the gateway, we get everything, even in the 80's.
Many people from other neighboring states used to come to NYC to buy their Nigerian food.

And you say it's barely windy. That city is probably the only city where you have to take in the wind factor into consideration as well as normal weather forecast. The fracking thing nearly made me loose control of my car one day. Good riddance to that fracking city though.

P.s you brought back memories though. Old world. Chinese people and their enterprise.

It's not that bad, last year was pretty decent, though to be honest, I don't exactly live in the city..

this.is shit...what about GARRI...all these food mentioned here,we get most of em.broad

Which part of the world are you guys? I have been in North America for sometime now and I am enjoying Pando with Egusi, Eba, Ndomie, Moi Moi, etc courtesy African Shops. If you need kpomo, you get. Even Alomo for those who drink alcohol it is available. things have changed.

Buy beef fillet at any grocery store and suya spice at the african store

crush few maggi cubes and mix with oil. (add salt)
rub the oil on the meat
rub powdered pepper too
cover with plastic and rest in the fridge for about 30 min

Take the it out after 30 min and put on skewers and rub the suya spice on it
put it in the oven till it is done

there you go

I just dey laugh in Obj's voice, anyway that's always been the believe, here in Houston Texas, there is no African food you won't get, we eat them daily, even my best food, though Ghanian food Banku and Groundnut soup is available on my table, the only problem is we get them at extra charges.

8. Moin Moin

Moin Moin is a Nigerian staple food which is very rich in protein.

Moin Moin is a cooked bean pudding made from combination of grounded – pealed beans, pepper, and onions. It is very delicious and tasty.

very correct, I visited a nigerian friend of mine about a month ago and his wife served me moi moi and custard I was so happy that day..Felt like I'm in nigeria again

Op is not informed

The truth is that most of them can be found in abroad, but it is not the same.

Let us not argue it. I spoke with someone in north America last week, the guy confessed how he missed the original naija flavour in our food.

Of course, Pando yam, Semo, Suya, Asun, kilichii, Ofada rice, Beans of different varieties etc can be found in abroad.

Op!!!!...This is 2015 and not 1985; One could actually can get all those foods you mentioned, and even more abroad.

18. Boli and Groundnut

Boli – roasted plantain is very tasty when taken with groundnut, it is truly a delectable snack for Nigerians and that is why they miss it most when they travel abroad.

miss dis alot...

16. Gala and Lacasera


Gala and Lacasera – there is always a romantic relationship between these two, they are made for each other. Most Nigerians love Gala and Lacasera especially when they are tired and stuck in traffic for hours.

Wrong....gala and lacasera? Lacasera no longer exist. Plastic coke,fanta, Pepsi etc took over long time ago.

My love for food! I no go travel be that!
