@@suzannes5888 The other 2 are often debatable and vary from person to person. But pounded Yam and Egusi usually makes everyones top 3. Other dishes I'd recommend apart from the popular jollof rice are Ofada rice (better than jollof but not nearly as popular) and Amala with ewedu soup (the "you either love it or hate it" combo 😅).
Nigerian food is amazing. I am fortunate to have met a beautiful Nigerian family, the mother/wife opened up a store to sell authentic Nigerian cuisine and clothing/accessories! She made so many different dishes for me and everything she made was DELICIOUS. Her husband is still in Nigeria so she gets stuff shipped to her store. I need to go see her asap

Had Egusi with Fufu (Pounded Yam) for the first time a couple of months and it was best food I have ever had. Along with Jollof rice, it’s very flavorful and recommend trying!
Fufu is made from cassava while pounded yam is made from yam. They are very different but people can easily mistake them to be the same because of their whiteness.
@@glowingforthe1654 No it isn't just the texture. They are actually different foods and taste different too! Pounded yam is made by pounding freshly boiled yam for a long time, as the name says lol. Fufu is made with cassava and is usually fermented, and is more widely eaten and known.
I really appreciate your open mind and eclectic palate! Not one bit of cringing watching this. And that doesn’t happen as an African watching other people experience different things from our culture. Props to you!
I woke up earlier than usual today and saw that you uploaded! Glad your enjoying the Nigerian Dish. I'm not Nigerian but I think the fellow nigerians are atleast proud of you for trying the dish.
You can’t imagine my joy watching this video! I’m a Nigerian and I also loooove egusi. One of my best soups. Thank you for getting pounded yam instead of fufu 😂. Pounded yam is much better than fufu IMO. Also, try ogbono soup, afang soup etc Try snacks like puffpuff, akara, chinchin etc. They’re sooo yummy!
I am Nigerian and I absolutely love your channel. Welcome to London🇬🇧. Egusi soup and pounded yam is my personal favourite. You did it justice. Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐🥂🥂🥂🌶🌶🌶
Woaahhh you ordered from Enish? There's a new one in South East London but it's a Nigerian, Ghanaian and Ugandan buffet. You have to try it next time you're in London! The place is beautiful
Enish is my FAVOURITE Nigerian restaurant 😌🙌🏾... They have a bunch of branches in the UK and one in Dubai... You should try beef suya.. It's a type of kebab that originates from the north of Nigeria!
They are not. You Ghanaians should just stop this leeching off Nigerians. Ghanaians have none of your food similar to Nigerian 🇳🇬 foods except maybe the jollof rice 🍚 which is neither from Ghana and Nigeria but Senegambia.☝️
Isn't fufu a laborious food to make? The only video I've watched so far looks like it must be backbreaking, to have to pound and pound it si hard for so long.
@@grovermartin6874 My bestie!! He's the one who showed me when l was young because my mother who's Jamaican didn't want to show me, just because of the backbreaking work so when the first time he showed me I got it but l don't make it often anymore. One has to have the will power too do so before starting!! 🤷🏽♀️🤣🤣🤣
If you ever get a chance you should try Liberian food. Our population may be small but the food is great. I shared my favorite Liberian dish (Check rice and gravy) with my nigerian friend and he loved it!! I would suggest for even less adventurous eaters to try it. Edit: some people call it chuck rice as well 👍
I have a coworker from your country and she makes me tobogi if that's the right spelling, I can pay a million dollars to have it all the time! Delicious! 😋
And puff puff it’s African doughnuts (it’s a snack and it’s nice!) try the jellof rice with chicken/assorted meat with plantain it’s yummy! Sis! I cannot believe you know about Enish wow! You go girl! ❤️😊 P.S. Egusi soup is my favourite soup so I’m really glad that you tried it! 🙏🏽😊❤️
Yessss i’ve been waiting for you to try nigerian food! You pronounced effusive well and it looks pretty good. There’s always many variations on our food depending on the region/tribe (i’m igbo) but it’s the same food fundamentally. You should try other types of igbo foods (some popular ones are jolof rice, okra soup, & ogbono. There’s also different types of -for lack of a better word- grains to eat soups with along with different names. At home i mostly eat gari or pounded yam
Ah egusi and pounded yam, sounds like my Sunday afternoon growing up. After that meal it’s a food coma and everyone finds a spot to snooze real quick hahaha
it feels so weird to see food I eat at home on RUclips shorts lol. You should try jollof rice it’s soooo good. I recommend garri eba with soup like egusi too.
I’ve never tried Nigerian food either, so I was excited when my gogle search brought up Enish Restaurant in Dubai! However, I found their price quite steep. Egusi with beef and pounded yam is AED 110 or about GBP 22.
🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 you said Egusi so well Janelle! Love that you went to London to try. I’m a Nigerian-American who studied abroad in London and was always floored by the culinary representation over the pond 😊
We’re just everywhere at the moment, our food, music, medicine, art, sports, doctors, our people in diaspora ain’t never let us down. We love y’all 🇳🇬❤️🦅
Seeing non-africans eating my cultural foods makes me so happy. 🥳🥳 Even if they don't like it, even if they're just trying it it makes me really happy!!!

Are there any other Nigerian dishes I should try? 🤤
Yesss you should try Jollof rice. It's like Mexican rice and comes with protein like chicken, beef etc
Jollof rice
@@shirleyboahin5404 I came here to say the same thing, jollof rice was my all time pregnancy craving with my second son!
It’s not a Nigerian dish but you should try cassava leaf stew!! If you liked the egusi, you’ll love it :)
@@doodoofart2802 how is it not a Nigerian dish?
Finally Nigerian food!!! Glad you enjoyed it. Pounded Yam and Egusi is like top 3 Nigerian food combos 😁
What are the other ones? ...we need to know!! 😊

@@danielogbonnaya5204 thats great, id love to try nigerian food some day, cheers from mexico!
What is Egusi?
@@alionessprincess It's a type of soup made with ground up melon seeds, vegetables and fish/meat
Trying other cultures food and dishes is always a great experience
I agree!!
Nigerian food is amazing. I am fortunate to have met a beautiful Nigerian family, the mother/wife opened up a store to sell authentic Nigerian cuisine and clothing/accessories! She made so many different dishes for me and everything she made was DELICIOUS. Her husband is still in Nigeria so she gets stuff shipped to her store. I need to go see her asap
As a Ghanaian, I’m so glad you liked it! It’s a common dish among both countries
I am Ghanaian too ❤️💛🖤💚🇬🇭
Same
It's so common i all shocked when people have never tried it, but i need to recall not eveyone is exposed to the same "common" things!
As always, Ghanaians taking credit. XD
Since when was Egusi a Ghanaian dish lol? It’s Nigerian 😳
I’m in literal shock that you’re eating this! Egusi soup and pounded yam is one of my favorite dishes (I’m Nigerian). It’s sooo good 😊
I live in Brazil and a lot of our culture comes from África including the delicious food
Dude the Afro Brazilian food slaps especially moqueca baiana 😋
@@jaundice9786 my favorite is mungunzá
I don't understand what you mean by a lot of your culture coming from Africa including the delicious food pls explain to me
Not juz Africa, Nigeria,check ur history u will be convinced
@@jaceychikitoBrazil has like the highest black population (African diaspora) outside of Africa and also has yoruba groups and some of the cultures in some areas are inspired by other africans like the Congolese or ethnic groups like edo and igbo
😭😭😭 Stop I can't deal with this rn. Just one of the many many delicious foods in Nigeria! You need to do a Nigerian food series - that would be 🔥

Fufu is different from pounded yam. Pounded yam is heavier.
Fufu usually has cassava in it and might involve fermentation.
Fufu is made from cassava while pounded yam is made from yam. They are very different but people can easily mistake them to be the same because of their whiteness.
I just made jollof and it really made me feel better, was feeling lonely/ missing of my grandma
@@olajumokeomotoso3300 i feel like the big diffrence is texture

Of course I'm Nigerian🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬👏
Reminds me of Ghanian food, they are similar
They are not. You Ghanaians should just stop this leeching off Nigerians. Ghanaians have none of your food similar to Nigerian 🇳🇬 foods except maybe the jollof rice 🍚 which is neither from Ghana and Nigeria but Senegambia.☝️
It looks beautiful 😍

Just to show back the love🥺🥺🇳🇬
Try okra soup with fufu ! ( it’s one of my favorite foods ) And I’d be so happy if you could try some Haitian food 🥰
