Absolutely delicious. cool I dey carry my own go work well well. I tell them I have to take an 'extended break' to go eat privately because I don't want to offend their 'senses'. They will petition YOU made them sick. My 30 minute break is extended to 45 minutes WITH PAY! cheesy

Just avoid wahala. One complaint ok. Once 3 or more complain. . . . .you don buy cemetery be dat o. cheesy


But, you can kill someone not familiar with the exotic aroma. To make matters worse, they can conspire against you and get you FIRED for bringing toxic fumes to the work place. Some will even refuse to come to work and claim 'disability' because of your food! grin

grin

When I want to take african food to work, I make sure not to cook it with iru because I'm considerate of others in the workplace.

A Nigerian lady in the UK hinted that the UK wants to ban Nigerian food in offices because of the smell and that she supports the motion, Citing that our local delicacy smells bad whenever it's being warmed in offices in the UK.

It's common courtesy not to bring strong smelling foods into shared spaces but this one just has an inferiority complex

It's one thing to acknowledge that some foods have strong smells, especially to people who aren't familiar with it and another thing to attribute it to being dirty and lower class like she's doing.

There are Nigerian dishes that have a neutral smell that people can bring into the office alternatively so it isn't necessarily a 'Nigerian food' thing

British 'office' foods that 'stink' as well:

- Vinegar with their chips
- Cheese and onion crisps
- Greasy bacon
- Microwaved scotch eggs
- Marmite



She's got a point sis.

She said before those Nigerians left for the west they were eating doughnuts, burgers to set themselves apart as posh, but when they get to the west, they start eating Nigerian foods again, why not just carry on eating the burgers and doughnuts you were eating back home?

They recognize their allergy here very well, they take their health seriously unlike we back home. We cook our food all the time, they don’t cook like us All the time.

Many things, we are different beings, they are not funny, they are who they are we are who we are, some Indian food fit make me vomit, and to Indians e sweet and nice aroma. You see

That is not completely true.

Nigerians eat those mainly as snacks, and never as food.

She's absolutely right. Most Nigerian soup smell badly but taste nicely. A boy was warming his soup one day and I ran out from the room because of the smells
