Hi all! Please help! I am helping a friend wedding plan. Her fiance is from Nigeria (Delta Niger) and she wants to have traditional reception food of the Delta Niger area. Through web searches, she's decided on jollof rice, but we're lost as to what else would be customary to include. Anyone know???
Thanks bunches!!!
Re: Nigerian Reception Menu
I am Nigerian and we served nigerian food at our traditional nigerian ceremony.
Some staples I have heard of/seen are:
- Moi Moi (its cooked ground bean...quite tasty with spices)
- Fried plantains
- Fried rice (made the nigerian way)
- Meatpies (kinda like Jamaican beef patties) as appetizers or munchies
- Chin chin (also a munchie)
- Pounded yam with egusi (melon seed) soup
- Fried chicken (made the nigerian way. As in its unbreaded)
- Fried fish
- Fried beef
Hope that helps. Now I'm hungry :-).
That does help!
...and now I'm hungry too..
Except the moi moi, I tried and tired to like it but the texture is weird. Everything else is finger licking good. Make sure she has a tasting because some caters will try to make it and if you don't know what your doing it is not pretty.
Edit: Forgot to say WELCOME!!!
