After two months, I unfortunately have to say that I've tried almost all the dishes available here already, for the food variety is keeping rather limited. The dinner I am used to and some dishes I eat so much that I will try to cook in Germany. Rice, however, I can see now no more, because it too often and because it is cooked in my project the same. And I was on top, always happy to eat rice because it was something familiar to which I did not have to get used yet. The cooking is done with a little spice, but a lot of Pepe (like chili). That is, we had to get used to at the beginning of the focus. The usual Ingredients are available on the market tomatoes, Pepe, fish, all sorts of parts of cows and chickens, eggs, instant noodles and rare cabbage, cucumbers and carrots.
to list I will now present times the usual dishes here.
Rice is here as a "White Rice" with Stew (more on that later), "Rice Jolof" (red-fried with vegetables and lots of little Pepe) "Fried Rice" (white fried rice) served.
noodles here are predominantly in two different variations: "Indomie (instant noodles, which are named after the best-selling brand) or spaghetti, which are eaten with stew.
Very often are also various types of porridge are eaten with various sauces. The solid pulp is eaten by hand and dipped in the sauce. You eat but only with the right hand because the left is considered dirty.
There Semovita (from semolina), white and black Amala (from?), Pounded yam (from yam), fufu (from cassava and plantain), Eba (from cassava) and Wheat (wheat). As is often
sauce Stew (mitgegart a sharp sauce of tomatoes, onions, Pepe and salt in the meat or fish) is mixed with okra, a greenish sauce which makes the Stew slimy and neutralized.
There are also some other sauces that I will not list them all here.
Yam is a great root vegetables, which taste like potatoes. It is either boiled, fried or pounded to Yam porridge. Potatoes are also here, but rare, and they taste sweeter than ours.
Plantain called this the plantains, fried served with rice or eaten grilled.
beans (black-eyed peas) are here to cooked rice served or eaten with gari (dried cassava flour) or bread.
Moin-Moin is an egg dish that is cooked with fish or a whole egg in the interior in a form. These often have a similarly shaped white mass of corn flour will be served.
For breakfast there are sometimes Pape, which I personally to paste looks and tastes the same. It is eaten with milk and sugar. Similar looks Costard, reminiscent but more like pudding. It comes in different flavors and it is eaten with milk.
This is the food, which I have come into contact in Lagos. There may be even more dishes, but with the other volunteers I've come to the conclusion that there are a few different dishes. I hope I have shown nothing wrong, everything I have compiled from information from Nigerians and other volunteers.
