Don't mind my write up,I'm still a learner.It has been observed that an average Nigerian take their meat and fish after finishing their meal.What is your take?Is this tradition,table manner or what else?

it's a superstition

It's just the way we were brought up, nothing more.

I use my fish and meat to eat the food. That is to say, a bite of meat and a spoon full of what ever else I am having.

Its just the way we were trained.. That's all

It's funny how majority of Nigerian parents raised their kids this way. It reminds me of the forced short haircut schools imbibe on students as a habit.

It boils down to the fact meat is seen as a luxury so's bought in small amounts however protein is a necessity which must appear on a plate in its most nutritious form: meat. Humans naturally love the taste of meat but children have short attention spans; without meat they take a few mouthfuls of food before tiring out from the predictable taste. Mothers across Nigeria solved this problem by forcing children to eat the meat last to avoid wasting food. Since mothers teach their offspring the habit from early years it grows into them and they end up teaching their offspring who continue and teach the habit over generations.
Such practice is nowhere found in developed nations where food is seen as a basic necessity hence meat is highly subsidized.
