My favorite Nigerian Dish is most def Ogbono soup and eba! My fiance hooked up the best Ogbono soup with okra for me! I also love egusi and rice and stew with fried plantain :dance: I tried to cook rice and stew for the first time and it came out good! I then tried Ogbono and it was a disaster! The soup didn't draw i put to much palm oil and i didnt use ant crayfish.. $30.00 went down the drain :(

I cant wait for my baby to get approved! i go chop well well oooo!!!

My husband cooks a mean pepper soup which I love. He's also made a beef stew w crushed crayfish that was great too! I'm not a fish lover so that will have to become an acquired taste :) as my husband loves fish and eba! I can't wait for the day when he arrives here in the US!

Now I am a guy and I cook a little bit but not as good as my baby! This talk of food is making me so hungry that I feel like flying to Nigeria now just for that food even though I just came three weeks ago, since I am going back again in December, I wjust have to wait and salivate....my favourite food is Eba and some nice egusi vegetable soup with caryfish, stockfish and Nice "obokun fish" (like cat fish here in the US but taste much better)
