We eat the meat làst to keep our dignity and respect intact. Imagine a friend of yours badges in when you're eating rice or soup without any protein. |

Na culture and economics cause am. When i dated a south-sudanese girl; she used to cook with a lot of meatballs and they varied in types. One plate of rice could have as many as 15 to 20 meatballs in it. So you can eat meat at any time durimg the meal. But nigeria culture no born you well to put 15 pieces of meat inside one plate, so we economize with 1 or a few pieces. And this has psychologically and unconsciously trained our minds to save the best for the last. Once the meat is gone, the appetite will begin to reduce |

Hismasterpiece:Most ppl do not just like meat, they have grown to see it as a part of food that decides the richness or quality of the dish. They see it as d icing on d cake. Isn't that why it is sold as a different entity altogether in restaurants? Even in our homes, it has become a tradition so much that some men will even take it as an insult if served with out meat, not just because d food becomes imbalance in terms of nutrition, but because of our mentality that has come with it. I can't say when and where it all originated from, but I can relate with d feeling. |

omakay: Nothing wrong about it sir. Infact we should teach kids to eat the meat last. You know why? Many kids eat because of the meat, if you let them eat meat first, they won't finish eating the meal. This I did as a kid and I always remember when I always wish to just take the meat off rice and run. As a parent how will that make you feel |

It's poverty mentality, u don't need to finish the meal before eating the meat, both should go together. |
Re: Eating Meat Last: Why Do Most Nigerians Do This? by lebete3000: 8:53pm On Sep 10, 2021 |
Hismasterpiece: Because most of us grew up in poverty where even seeing meat ontop rice is a big privilege, and you come go chop am first. Thank God those days are gone. I put atleast 5 big pieces of goat meat on my meal after cooking, as a single guy wey I be. If I don't eat it first, who will? |

FILEBE: You have programmed these children to see the meat as gold. They will in turn treat it as gold. Try using minced meat to prepare your stews and sauce for like 4months and see how their enthusiasm for meat will float away. |

Gadahfi: It's funny that you complain of 'wokeness' yet you send your children to the best 'woke' schools around. There is nothing western about eating a meal appropriately without seeing a part of the food more 'golden' than the others. |

I think the same reason why we eat and drink during or after meal is the same reason you can make sense from eating meat during or after the real meal. I think the purpose of feeding is to gather all the strength and nutrients you could get to keep you fit for your other endeavors hence your mind goes to the food before the meat. So our parents are not far from the right path training us to take meal before meat, that's parental guidance. We are african and we should respect that. |
Re: Eating Meat Last: Why Do Most Nigerians Do This? by omakay(m): 9:13pm On Sep 10, 2021 |
SirMichael1: Am so amazed at the speed with which you have gotten my opinion so wrong. By Western education, I mean the form of education that makes us see the better side of life and the way we live it. Wait ooooo.... What curriculum do you think are taught in most if not all schools in the country? ...... 'African curriculum'?..... I don't understand why folks like you feel comfortable decieving yourselves. Abeg call what you see as what it is joooor.... |

Hismasterpiece: Simply because poverty too much for naija. So poverty mentality from our four fathers and they keep handing it down to us. So we grow with it. Now if you get money, make you no hand am down to your own children, let that madness stop with you. Guy if come Yankee see how people eat, you go understand say poverty sometimes dey force some cultures on us. That we dey shout say Africa get culture, Check am well na poverty dey force us follow those cultures. |

spirul77: Chairman, you and I know say this no be case of eating pattern. It usually comes under the file of 'teaching the child good manners'. 'Teaching the child not to have big eyes for meat'.... Abeg, the next time we buy meatpie for our children, let us make sure we take our all the meat there and make them eat the dough and potatoes only as we wan teach them good manners. MEAT NO BE GOLD...... |
