I want to cook something for my woman,like a candle-lit dinner or something,but i want it to be nigerian and creative. Pounded yam(my specialty)is too heavy,it'd prolly give her gas,rice is so damn boring,i want something creative nd original.

Wow,well,am thinkn how abt African Salad(make una no chop me,just guessing)

suya and malt.

Dont quote me however.

quite spicy too, so stock up on mints for afterwards.

Does it have to be a Nigerian dish??

Most 9ja dishes are heavy, anyway. But u cud serve small portions instead.

How about boiled rice and Banga stew? _{[Lord knows I'm craving it right now]}

The African Salad idea sounds good, but as a "candle-lit-dinner-type-ish"?? I'm not so sure.

Or fried/baked fish like tilapia or croaker.


once again, stock up on mints for afterwards.

Rice is also good, I guess. Possibly the Basmati kind if you want something unusual (for your girlfriend).

But generally, you rarely go wrong with fried rice.

Fried rice is too complicated. Slicing and dicing all the veggies will waste time. Besides,i never could cook fried rice very well;it's either the sizes of the carrots/other stuff are too big/small or one thing or the other.

Don't u guys have like frozen veg or something?? Besides, how long will the dicing actually take?? Don't be lazy.


U cud make jellof rice and plantain

slicing and dicing veggies?

You can buy precut ones in the supermarket.

or you can always order out.

Just saying- your options are still open.

NOT A BAD ADVICE WITH PALM WINE.MOST ESPECIALY THE SALAD MIX WITH UGBA AND KPOMO

Salad on it's own? ? ? for a candle lit DINNER? Is she a rabbit or are you hoping to starve her?

How about Grilled fish, moderately marinated, with some fried plantain on the side and a nice bowl of creative salad.

Salad is healthy and light, fish is not heavy (easily digested) and plantain of course is sweet. . . . I personally would be happy with that.

You don't want them to have some good loving after abi??

@secretz,thanks for ur suggestion. I can make it work,only i have to clean my oven. Oh well,it's for a good cause,lol.

we have romantic local meals if u can be creative, this ma suggestion:

appetizer
fish pepper soup & chilled zobo or natural nunu

main dish:
semo and vegetable (efo elemi meje)
with cold water.

dessert: any of the listed below will do
asun, ojojo, dodo ikire(fried mashed plaitain), iyoyo dindin (fried fingerlins) etc. with apple juice

just a suggestion

That's too heavy naw!

Any food will do actually, all u need is a sprinkling of "burantashi" and "dongoyaro" extracts.

It works like Magic

fried plantain & egg with a bottle of red wine

r231:

fried plantain & egg with a bottle of red wine

great idea. I was going to say the same. or yam <could be friend/boiled> and egg, yum!

I remember my bf then used to do isi-ewu for moi, jesu, i miss those days!

sweet potato porridge/yam porridge with red or white wine, yum!

Anything goes

Roasted Plantain (boli) and Groundnut washed down with Palmwine

apetizers; hard-boiled eggs sliced into two with hot ground pepper put in the middle.

main course; grilled bushmeat and a side of salad. yes salad is african. nobody eats more greens than africans. we just dont call it salad.

dessert: what dessert? you want authentic african experience abi? oya, just drink some water. or coke if you want to live it up. lol.

if the girl a nigerian or african tho? cus if not, those carbohydrate heavy african meals will scare her o.

All you guys dey craze o. All your suggestions will make the mouth smell no be small . . . and then the poster no go fit kiss.

@ poster ojare, make sure you include mouthwash with all the suggestions.

To be candid,avoid frying and all our naija carbs (tuwo,eba,amala,starch,semo,iyan,lafun etc)
