    In the last few years, I’ve traveled to Africa twice-Ghana in 2021 and Kenya in 2022. I fell in love with West African food during my time in Ghana, and I’ve been thinking about exploring more of the region in the future. Come with me as I get my first taste of Nigerian food in Tampa, Florida!
    In this video, I’m visiting TFK African Restaurant in Tampa to meet Janet, an amazing cook from Nigeria who would be preparing several favorites from her country. The restaurant is beautiful and feels like West Africa, with a lot of art from the region on the walls.
    🇬🇭Ghana Travel Videos: • Traveling to West Afri...
    TFK AFRICAN RESTAURANT: At this Nigerian restaurant, Janet prepared a Nigerian feast, beginning with appetizers (yoyo, fried shrimp, and yam with pepper sauce), and ending with palm wine, alomo bitters, abula, fufu, efo, egusi, and okro. Each dish was unique, with its own flavors and textures, and having them with the fufu took me back to my time in West Africa. Janet was even impressed with my eating skills!

    For those who think that "jollof rice" is the main Nigerian dish, sorry that is just entry level stuff. What this woman has done today gives you an idea of proper traditional Nigerian food - from just one region of the country. And, ah, egusi stew is my favourite meal ever!

    Palm oil, especially palm oil and dried fish used as a base in cooking, takes a dish to a totally different level of flavour.
    That's why Nigerian and West African dishes in general, taste so good.
    And palm oil's got many health benefits contrary to the myth.

If you don’t care for it; you’ll say so. Not everything is going to be pleasurable to the palate. Your honesty is appreciated. Yes David. It’s the sauce for me with the apps. Great watching her cook and you eating the food. I eat my Egusi and fufu with a spoon 😂. Can’t with the hand. Thanks for sharing. Like the music towards the end. See you next video.

      True Shabana.

In Brazil, Cuba, Argentina, Etc. Most of them still cook with same styles with little different even after centuries.

And David, you're the first white man I've seen who eats these dishes the proper way, in that swallows (morsels like fufu, semo, amala & pounded yam, etc) are not meant to be chewed but swallowed. It is okay to chew the soups and meats, etc, that are chewable, but the swallows are meant to be swallowed.

    Well, good morning Baba Tunde/David. I watched the 'live' video chat and I am so happy to see the end product. This was so enjoyable and I love Janet. She is very entertaining and so accommodating. All of her food look delicious especially with those combinations of interesting ingredients. We use okra in Trinidad callalloo: that's what makes it slimy. Callalloo and fufu (pounded plantain) in a Sunday meal are a delicious combination, along with stewed chicken, red beans, macaroni pie and salad😋. Delish. Nathan, I hope you enjoyed the food too. On a different note, David, maybe you are a reincarnation with African heritage!!!🤔. It is said that through reincarnation, some spirits come back through newborns, something you wouldn't find in DNA. The Lord works in mysterious ways. So just enjoy what life has to offer you. You are truly blessed. Have a good day and a great weekend. Love to you and your family. Blessings always.🙏🤗❤️🇹🇹🇨🇦
