Have You Eaten Any Of These Strange Nigerian Food? Part 2 by DyshApp: 1:05pm On Jul 22, 2023
Alkaki

Okay! Enough of the bugs/insects! Let's move to the Northern side, a snack, to be particular. Alkaki is a snack worthy of savoury. Mostly served at weddings, this beauty is made from ground wheat, flour and sugar syrup, formed into different marvellous shapes and deep fried.

Pocho

If you aren't vegetarian, then Pocho is the one for you. It is a watery soup made from meat, pepper, palm oil and locust beans as the main ingredients. The people of Tiv eat Pocho with rice, yam, eba, fufu or other solid swallows.

African Palm Weevil Larvae

It's time to talk about bugs, don't you think? The African larva is predominant to the people of Delta. You could easily see vendors on the highways and streets of Delta- Asaba, dishing this exquisite food to travellers in moving buses. In Nigeria, these bugs are called eruru, ngwo, agu, nten, mutukpa etc, by different tribes.

Moni-Moni (Shea tree caterpillar)

Yes! Another bug delicacy on our list. Moni-Moni is mostly consumed by Westerners. These crunchy, delicious insects are found and trapped on shea trees. To make things more interesting, moni-moni could be prepared with a sauce and then savoured with bread.

Kiri Igina

This soup is a modified ogbono or okro soup of the Ijaw people. Aside from the fact that this food takes little time to prepare, it is not cooked on fire at all. The only thing you need from the fire is your boiled water. You would just need to stir your ogbono, okro, pepper and other ingredients (raw like that) in hot water, and you are good to go.

If you know any of these foods how does it taste and what food do you think should be on the list?

That moni moni... We call it kanyi at my place. Back then, if it is well soaked before you cook it, you will enjoy it. But eating it raw, it has one kind taste that I can't describe
