Nigerian Food

During my stay in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria, I sampled many delightful dishes. The basic most common meals are  chicken; fish; seafood; beef; and goat meat as well as rice, pounded yam and fu fu. Oh, I can't forget the delicious fried plantain I ate every morning at the hotel. Fried Chicken is prepared without flour, and  there is also baked or boiled chicken was severed with a boiled egg. There are several types of rice jallof, coconut, and fried rice. Rice is served with every meal of the day including breakfast.  The Imo Concorde Hotel  breakfast buffet serves an array of dishes daily rice with stewed tomatoes; liver; fried plantains; eggs;potatoes; porridge; and dry cereal as well as toast. The juice is fresh pineapple or orange, along with a choice tea as and coffee . The most popular drink is tea; however in Owerri  I found no cold tea drinks. Our favorite fast food restaurant in Owerri is Trendy's which offers delicious snacks as well as food. I had a chance to sample the ice cream and kettle popcorn. More traditional dishes like fufu takes time getting use to.The most popular way this dish is eaten is with stew. Fu fu is a starch normally eaten as a side dish where one would ball up the dough with hands before eaten. The only milk I saw was the powder form in the hotel. I'm not sure if there were any selection of cheese since I didn't look for it in the store I visit. I did enjoy the spicy peanut sauce served with the garden egg during the traditional welcoming ceremony.
