Nigerian Food

        Perhaps my favorite part of my Nigerian heritage is the cuisine.When it comes to food, I love to eat. I'm always eating; it's the best part of the day if you ask me. Some people like pizza, others like hamburgers, but I like my cultural food.My favorite thing to eat in the morning is fried egg and plantain. I remember always waking up on Saturday morning asking my mom or my aunt to make it for me. The best was when it was already made and I just came to the table and had it on my plate.

        For lunch, my favorite would be fried rice and goat meat stew. It didn't always have to be goat meat, but it did have to be some type of meat and very spicy (a trait that is very present in all African cooking). I hate food that isn't spicy because when the food isn't spicy, it just doesn't taste right to me and I can't really appreciate the food or the flavors.

        What I typically eat for dinner, however, I would consider to be my all-time favorite. I could eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I could. This amazing and delicious meal is called Banga soup. The reason it's my favorite is because of the taste. Nothing can even compare to this soup as it is the most rich, flavorful and delicious thing I have ever had. If I had to describe it, I would say it's like winning any championship game, the biggest game of your life...but for your mouth.

        The foods mentioned above are my main favorites, but we also have many different foods as well. Some of the other foods that are common in Nigeria are yam and fish pepper soup, beans, and masa. Each is good, each is delicious.
