Some Weird Food Combinations in Nigeria

Below is a list of some funny and weird combination of foods that some Nigerians

BREAD AND PEPPER SOUP

It was shocking when I got served this in a very big event. I wondered what was behind the concept. As surprising as this combination sounds, many large hotels and caterers have fully included it on their food menu.

PAP AND OKRO SOUP

All hail those who are brave enough to pass this down their throat. It is an important task I do not ever see myself doing.

NOODLES AND BREAD

Aaaaah this is the number one student food for ladies especially. It tastes really nice I can tell of it. But why the combination of two carbohydrate food? This is malnutrition in the making.

EBA AND EGG SOUP

Seriously, the way people create meals is amazing. But for this particular one, it’s irritating. Maybe they are trying to get the American lifestyle of eating something funny.

NOODLES AND EGG WITH CUSTARD

This is just being glutinous. Why can’t they just wait and eat one after the other? Either custard and bread, or noodles and egg.

BREAD AND CLOSE UP

Close up is a paste which is manufactured for the sole aim of washing the human teeth. And also giving it fresh and better breathing. How the purpose of its production was drifted from teeth to bread is still a wonder.

BISCUIT AND VEGETABLE

This is also a food combination that still gets me thinking of what lead to the inspiration. What was in the mind of the person who started it.

EGG AND GROUNDNUT

This is a wrong food combination. The reason is everyone would definitely avoid you because the gas explosion from you can kill someone.

NOODLES AND YAM

This is weird. Noodles just take 5mins to cook, why add yam which would make it take a longer time. But on second thought it could be that the person has the yam already and is just trying to prevent waste of food.

GARRI AND SUYA

This is also another popular student meal, to keep the body and soul together.

RICE AND BUTTER

As far as nutrition is concerned, this is totally an in balanced diet. Carbohydrate gets one fat, and so does butter because it contains cholesterol.

BREAD AND LOCUST BEAN

Proteinous meal plus proteinous meal. What joy does this meal give? But then there is a saying that another man’s food is another man’s poison.

BREAD AND VEGGIE OIL

The veggie oil is fats extracted from seeds and sometimes fruits too. Veggie oil is usually liquid in nature and basically used for cooking various delicacies like Rice, Stew, Sauce and so many others. This oil is also used for frying Meat, Burger, Snacks, Fish, Turkey and a host of others. All of a sudden Nigerians left the produced butter meant for bread just to use oil. I wonder how they enjoy it because oil does not have any taste at all. And besides, if the oil being used is the type that has a high level of cholesterol, then such a person is bringing harm upon themselves.

GARRI AND FIBER ACTIVE

Oh Lord, this is really awkward for me. Fiber Active is actually one of the many biscuits in Nigeria. Students are most the people found of eating this food combination.

RICE AND OKRA SOUP

Okra is one of Nigeria’s soup. Okra is also called draw soup because of the texture of the soup after preparation. Thinking about this combination I resulted in a conclusion that it is used when such a person does not have stew but have soup and just to save cash. The soup is just adopted to do the job of the stew.

BEANS/ SPAGHETTI AND BOILED EGGS

Beans and spaghetti is a very lovely and delicious food combination you should try. What I do not understand is why the addition of another protein giving food. This is an excessive intake of protein food.

GARRI/ BISCUITS AND COWBELL CHOCOLATE

This food combination is mostly done by female students. The worst is they feel “Tush” about the combination.

RICE/ YAM AND MOI MOI

I just tire for Nigerians at this point. This is a combination of three foods that have their own three different right combinations Nigerians refused to use.

KULI – KULI AND BREAD

This would lead to indigestion for me, but a lot of people combine these two together.

RICE/PALM OIL AND SALT

Yet another weird combination of food Nigerians eat. This our belle don hear am because Americans no fit try this one.

AGEGE BREAD AND GULDER

How did one think of such combination? I was surprised to see a drunkard doing this. Though I thought to my self that it could only be them.

RAW PLANTAIN AND OKRA

This is the height of it for me. If it was boiled plantain I could have taken it that the okra soup is the sauce to help digest the boiled plantain. But then it is raw plantain for crying out loud.

Closing Remark;

These are not yet all the weird food combinations in Nigeria, you could still discover more for yourself by associating with Nigerians. They are very interesting people and being around few of them could crack you up as well as give you a shock with the things they do.
