All the cuisines from the 54 (55?) countries joined together make up ‘African food,’ food that is eaten in Africa, just as you have Continental food which is food from Europe.

WOW!!!! I absolutely am proud of the way he’s plated these dishes in a fine dining style. People like to complain about portions but this isn’t the point - you need to appreciate this style of plating and class to understand it! As a fellow Nigerian, well done 👏🏾 🙋🏽♀️
Ohhhh this brought a smile to my face. Very happy to see Nigerian cuisine celebrated and not tolerated as inferior to others. His food is like Art, it's beautiful!!
@@LiberalismisDying you mean to tell that Nigeria is more scams then the western countries or you want me to tell you how the stolen everything in Africa continent
If not for people like you who only contribute complaints, Nigeria would be a global superpower. The so-called bad leadership provided you with free education that put you above your peers in the West. What have you done for Nigeria to deserve the free infrastructure, free education, subsidized healthcare and fuel amongst other things? Ungrateful people. I wonder if you want the government to put food in your stupid mouth before you'll be satisfied.
Now we’re talking 🎉!! That’s how it should be now .. the world knows cuisines from everywhere except the ones from Africa . With Nigeria getting this kind of recognition, other countries cuisines will follow as well
Lol, as far as we know, our people have been catering for Nigerian parties and establishing restaurants in the US since the first Nigerian stepped food in the US, but I guess they feel this is the first introduction. 😂
@@martharrazi1942 To make the food appealing the portion sizes must be smaller and plate presentation is key. Its is just tweaking the presentation to your target market.
New York and outside New York like Newark has had Nigerian restaurants for years nothing new about this. Also, DC area has so many Nigerians and Nigerian restaurants.
Not Nigerian but have lived there off and on for 30 years. The problem with Nigerian food is that true authentic dishes are eaten by hand on a large platter divided into sections. Americans are picky and want everything to look and taste Westernized so in order for these foods to appeal to us it would need to be reinvented heavily, which takes away the true culture and traditions. It's colonization through the culinary experience
Actually, Americans are quite adventurous culinarily. From the SouthEast to the Northwest and everything in between, we make, eat and celebrate foods from virtually every major culture on this planet. Please stop the false narrative that all we eat is French fries, burgers and pizza because you saw it on tv. Americans are much more nuanced than that. #meltingpot
@@sunsetmacarons167 No they are not, eat at any american restaurant and then go to their origin country and see if the food tastes the same...it doesnt.
@@sew_gal7340 I agree they are not. I was watching a video of African Americans visiting one African country and they were introduced to lovely local foods and all they could say was what's that what's this, in fact I find that europeans are much more adventerous with different foods than Americans are.
@@kasikwagoma6740 Absolutely, anyone who has been to thailand, china, india, or any African country knows the food there looks nothing like the foods here. I am from SEA so i experience it myself just in the cultural differences living in the USA. Though i will say i much prefer westernized indian foods to authentic indian food, thats just my preference.
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799 for the food to look presentable… people eat with eyes before they taste it.

@@charlesapana9935 Africa is not monolith so , it's not about taking the glory alone. ..the video is about Nigerian dishes so let the glory go to Nigerian dishes
Love the video and business model, but surely, the BBC isn't naive enough to believe that this is the *INTRODUCTION* of Nigerian cuisine to the US, abi?

There is nothing called African food . Africa is a continent with 54 coutries and about 3000 tribes with a great many cusines and culture .

Did you not know ½ million Nigerians live in America
Mumu. If it's not approved by the West, you won't find it worth celebrating. It's goats like you that draw Africa backward. Mental slaves.

@@RantitoutloudThe drink is zobo
@@gladysmaya2352 yes in Nigeria. In the US, we have one called Soba Hibiscus

I've seen Nigerian food prepared on Instagram. The amount of food per person is large while the ones cooked here are small.
Westerners eat smaller portions of 3 or more courses. We typically just have one big plate.

Yeah. It's how you gently introduce foreigners to your cuisine without overwhelming them.
