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

it's Igbo food mostly. the smell can be quite offensive. personally I don't like the smell. they have tasty food but that offensive odor is the issue. funnily enough, those foreign foods have higher nutritional value as compared to our starchy food. African food is filled with mostly starch. big outside but empty inside. Lord help us

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.

I think something neutral like jollof rice/spaghetti, fried rice, even indomie is ok, I didn’t know people were packing abula with them lmao

When you’re used to a smell you probably aren’t thinking about it being pungent to be fair, I think it just depends on the type of food, they aren’t all ‘smelly’ lol

I'm trying to understand your perspective. Why would they ban some people's food? And what do you mean by 'ethnic food.' That some people normalize junks as regulars, does not mean you must force it down others' throats. It's a disappointment if you can't be proud of your cultural identity and allow others to castigate it as inferior. Shioor!

I don't think you understand. JUST LIKE I CAN'T STAND THE SMELL OF WEED. . . OR 'IGBO'! angry
Nothing to do with inferiority.

Some of our foods STINK!

The first time I tried to buy a house, my agent took me to a Nigerian family's home.

OMO! As soon as we entered the house. . . .NA OKPOROKO DIE DIA O.
I had to leave. The whole house was STINKING!

The only Black American guy I tried to date. . .and served him fufu and egusi soup. . . .thinking I was giving a 'special naija delicacy'. . . .I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN AFTER THAT. He did not even bother to explain. cheesy

Some certain smells are just toooooooooooooo offensive to those not accustomed to it.
