@jesusredeemedme2425
I have Nigerian neighbours and their food always smells rich, haven't tasted it though, who knows, maybe I'll knock in some day soon 🤗💚
Invite yourself over for dinner ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425
I'd be cheeky enough to do that 😂
Just say hey, I’ll bring food if you bring food ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425
Ha, but the funny thing is, I have travelled the world and have not expanded my palate, I'm adventurous and try everything once, from bunjee jumping to helicopter rides, but not when it comes to food, I hate hearing people chew, don't mix my food on the plate, don't like it touching and I'm happy with a plate of chicken nuggets, and spaghetti on toast 😂
Then ask them to trade plates of food with you from your respective cultures ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425
Ha, I wouldnt try them 😁 they could eat my food and I could dance to some Nigerian music, bypass the food 😁
There ya go hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425
No Michelin five stars with me 😁 no fancy restaurants or cooking, cheap date all round 😂💚
That’s so me!!! I’m just like… give me some nuggies and fries and I’ll be good. Also, take me to get some super cheap books. EASIEST date ever. I’m like a 5 year old. Easy to please XD
@jesusredeemedme2425
Ha, I hear ya, my ideal night, cinema, McDonald's, chocolate chip pancakes and someone tucks me in with a cuddly blanket 😂 bliss!

@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 I had to Google that one too lol! (I'm giving Google a workout today) It does look like biriyani! I have never had basmati rice. It's good?
This is a very soft food served in several Nigerian homes and restaurants. It can be enjoyed with various soups such as Ogbono, Egusi, vegetable, and Afang soups.
The desired quantity of yam is peeled, washed thoroughly, and boiled to tenderness. It’s then pounded in a mortar until an pillowy soft mash is formed. The Yoruba people of Western Nigeria are especially fond of pounded yam, but it is also popular among the Igbo people of Eastern Nigeria.
