Food is more than just eating. It is a blend of years of cultural heritage, history, recipes, techniques and flavour passed down from one generation to another.And Nigerian meals comes in different forms from their alluring colours to snacks, drinks and tastes with unique recipes used by different ethnic groups and tribes around the country.

Today, the most popular Nigerian dishes are not consumed only by the ethnic groups or tribes to which the meals are peculiar to, they are now a daily meal across the country and have also become popular among those living outside the country either within Africa or outside the continent at large.

Individually, we are raised eating meals from our cultural heritage, which becomes part of who we are. Just as many of us do, we associate different meals from childhood memories with good memories and warm feelings or events that holds a personal or special value for us. Such meals become what we crave for as adults in times of anxiety and frustration creating a way we all remember home differently.
