In UK you can easily get most of the dishes you listed above,the fresh Ingredients are widely available especially in African neighborhoods in London, I.e if you can cook them, if not, there are hundreds of restaurants that can easily cater to your needs.. Honestly, nobody should be missing these, the ones I tend to miss are those dishes that are indigenous to particular villages / towns in Igboland. Those can be difficult to find.. Your generic Nigerian dishes are everywhere these days.. |

Most of those food ingredients are sold in Afro and Asian shop in Germany. Once you can cook there is rarely anything you posted there you can't make. The only challenge is you may need to visit several shops to get the ingredients you desire. Asking other Nigerian nationals where they buy food stuff also helps. I have made Akara and Moin moin, egusi, ogbono soup, tasty vegetables soup. Jollof rice, fried rice, white rice and stew Na everyday affair. I had been crying for snails for long. It was with pride and joy that I found a pack for 2.50€ and I made it into my Ogbono soup. I guard that soup jealousy. Even Oga is not allowed to near I will post some pics of just few of what I cooked. 1 Like |
