The North doesn't know how to cook... The only thing I could eat there is Kilishi and Suya..

Only Igbo, Cross River, Uyo and a few Yoruba women knows what a good meal is...

I'm quite familiar with these dishes and none, i repeat none of of them is worth the hype. You're better off with masa/waina, fura da nono, kilishi or kunun koko. Even if they are mostly snacks.

Opinionated:
The Northern region of Nigeria offers numerous attractions for tourists. And besides visiting the tourist-worthy sites, travellers can also enjoy tasty traditional food of the north. Although the food of the region is not considered as the primary reason for its popularity, one cannot ignore the fact that the Northerners have contributed richly to Nigeria’s national food identity. Below, Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares traditional foods of the Northerners.

Burabisco


A traditionally made couscous meal common to Northern Nigeria, especially in Maiduguri, Burabisco is loved and enjoyed by many. Usually paired with spicy stew of meat and vegetables, its rich ingredients categorize it among luxurious dishes in the region.

Miyan Kuka

Miyan Kuka is certainly the most famous northern Nigerian soup and translated as “Boabab leaf soup”. The green draw-soup is made from ground baobab leaf and special spices, preferably ‘Yaji’ – a mixture of ground pepper, ginger, garlic and other seasonings/herbs.

Tuwon Dawa

This is a side dish made with ground guinea-corn made thick and cassava. It is best eaten with soups like Kuka and okra. This meal is unique majorly because it is best prepared with firewood.

Tuwon Shinkafa


This mouth-watering dish is possibly the most popular foods in the Northern part of Nigeria. It is also very palatable and widely embraced by other cultures in the country. The meal consists of thick rice pudding and spicy sauce. If you are visiting the region, try this meal to broaden the spectrum of your taste. And once tried, you may find it hard to resist the temptation of re-ordering.

Pate


A dish usually prepared with ground corn or rice, cooked with vegetables, tomatoes, onions, pepper, garden egg, locust beans, groundnut, biscuit bone, meats minces and sometimes, assorted meat parts, Pate is largely consumed in Kaduna, Nassarawa, Plateau and other Northwestern states. This dish is primarily porridge and is an all-time favourite liked by almost all age groups.

I just downed a well prepared miyan kuka - made with dry fish and meat; with little drop of mai shannu and a very chill kunu to wash it down.

Jesus! North is the place to be.

Spot on! Theirs meals don't even look appealing and something you want to try out has got to look good before you think of tasting it. But in terms of hospitality, you've gotta give it to them.

Lol... Majority in ondo don't even eat dog, how it become so synonymous with ondo is still a mystery... I have visited many towns and they don't eat at all generally, it's more of a personal things. Talking about food, it depends on location, as different parts in ondo has different mouth watering soups
