What Food Items Are Taboo In Your Traditional Nigerian Culture?

share.

Dogs.

Modified......I am from Enugu state. Enugu Ezike. According to what I heard..... If u knowingly eat dogs.....u will av rashes in ur tongue and ur lips.

What should you do if you've eaten a taboo item without knowing?


Induce vomiting to purge it from your system.

In parts of Ijaw land, eating snails is taboo.

Snails. Ukwuani land.

I've never eaten snails, will never knowingly eat them. If one unknowingly eats them, you're supposed to induce vomiting. If you can't, you're to go for ceremonial cleansing.

None, unless you don't like eating some awkward meats

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

If you reason this question ehnnn
He be like mumu mumu question

But ehnnnn! On a serious note. Na better question.
But op. Na plant or animal product?
What am i even saying! Food na food na! Too much weed in my system


Make i call my grandmother whether any food dey for Bini when we dey forbid

Food with no salt for 8 days for a woman that just gave birth( Yoruba call it obe Ate), i heard if someone dare it, the baby will die

Chopping another man's wife is a taboo in my village ...''chopping" as in ''fvcking"....

But i understand that in some parts of Benue State, men give out their wives and daughters as Kola to visitors ...as in if you are spending the night in his house, he can delegate one of his wives or daughters to keep you in satisfactory coital company overnight....

Point is....one man's meat is another man's poison

I have been getting some mentions telling me the Benue tradition I stated above isn't true...

Up till tomorrow, adultery is not prohibited among the Tivi tribe in Benue State..there, you cannot be convicted for knacking someone's wife...

If you think I am lying, please find and read the cases of Apiko V Ikogi and Tofi v Uba, the latter having been decided by the Nigerian Court of Appeal..

For ease of reference, here are the cases' Court citations:

Tofi v Uba (1987) 3 NWLR PT.62 P.723 PARA A-H

APIKO UNOGWU V GABRIEL IKOGI-APPEAL NO. OHC/19A/2008

Even in diz lockdown,nor try am.Food nah good oo

Breast milk.

Anything black, but not limited to black Amala.

Yoruba don't cook any food that is against their culture. Therefore, any food cooked is edible

Kuli kuli and garri....

Oboy shey u get sense with dis question.

My culture doesn't have any but I can't eat cat, duck, snake and okro soup. They are like taboo to me.
Lalasticlala will not like that snake part

Anything I see now I chop. Taboo or no taboo. Whether Aboki, afonja or Igbo food I go chop am. After corona hunger we go dey observe tradition.

Roasted Corn

I blame boredom for all this.

Crocodile.

I eat everything I like.


there are some animals we are not supposed to eat but I eat them because I was not there when they did whatever they did.


I didn't benefit so why should I pay the price?

We eat anything eatable .

Dog, snail, snake, human meat

Fried human meat

I am hausa we look down on Goat meat

Hmmm none I know of actually. And i haven't been told there's a particular food we don't eat in my tribe/culture.. I believe anything goes as long as it's something edible (can be eaten by anyone) and nutritious.

Python meat.

I can't remember any, I eat all eatable jaree, as far as it's not those creepy and disgusting things the Chinese eat.
