Traditional Nigerian Food!! Cheap Vs Expensive!!

We are having a couple of things that we have never had before, one of them is an anthem, yes, Legos, the most populous population center in Nigeria, is a city of contrasts that houses the very poor, like those who inhabit the village Africa's largest floating island, Macoco. I feel like "We're in Venice, you know Venice, but nearby Victoria Island is home to some of Nigeria's 29,000+ millionaires. What's not a meal? Are they serving that well here? It's Nigerian with a modern twist." 95% of the ingredients we use locally sourced products and then just bring in things like chalk, you know, things like that are obviously not available here in the market today as we conclude our series on Nigeria I want to see and experience classic

at every level. let's take a look at this whole neighborhood I'm so excited yeah I'm hungry first of all what's going on here it's all good oh so much this is the Jolliffe right Yeah you know what Instagram they have? like some kind of war?

It's called jollof war. We had different people from different African countries coming together because then it's like who does the best. rice, yes, you have to promise me that once you try this, your fans will come, oh sorry, you have to be loyal aside, how could I ignore rice in Ghana? I think you're being great right now. ambassador in Nigeria but not so much in Africa in general they use locally grown long grain rice with a sweet flavor it is cooked with a mixture of oil tomato paste onion and red chilies the secret is to cook it until the rice absorbs all the sauce I will continue straight up, how could you want to try something spicier, but it tastes very smoky?

These are banana, yeah, hmm, oh, that's really good, a little bit of tomato and then like a smoke, I love it. If they don't do something good it's not smoking, do you know what this business is like? Not the name White House, but the lady got into a fight, she went in front of the White House, so when she tries to explain to people how to get here, oh. I love that I have seen so many restaurants like this around the world like we are in Myanmar and there is a restaurant that doesn't want to pay taxes so it's like the restaurant in front of the temple that's the name of the restaurant because you don't officially exist and if you don't exist you don't have to pay taxes I wish it didn't exist people tell me Justin welcome to the White House it's a cultural melting pot and the social center where groups and individual clients meet I'll be back for more places like this, they call it Puka, delicious multicultural food and affordable prices at the moment.

Razak will help me understand why the White House became what it is today. Can you talk about the history of this place? How long have you been here? OK. Oh. bravo Bravo Bravo Bravo Casa Blanca ah, great, very great, we also turned 18 years old. Wow, wait, wait, what is that? Yeah, just Oh, in the studio, but it's marked like whoever comes in needs a little monitoring, we need immediately when things are getting good. Under gravel, people complain once they get in relaxed, as each type is well suited to those on a budget. 5 star dining is food for the financially capable.

The hookah is the great class leveler. It's all there is between a cow farm, both Sunday and one. cow and four goats disappeared, it's a fish Oh, what did you like the most? I can't make people like this, people like this, like absolute perfection, but they will love being there, well, you know, I'm doing something for business and sometimes we are light companions. Do something right, we'll give us these three for today, tomorrow you come when you come tomorrow, tomorrow it's not free, yes I see people coming in, they're standing in line, the food is all distributed, how does it work? thank you very much yes, stand in line you wait your time, what do you have your money with you?

You make me hope that sounds cool, yeah, yeah, I'll make it pretty, so free us all for free, cool, wait, feel free, but the price is also free, no, oh no. It would be a bad deal our next dish pounded yam is exactly what it sounds like boiled and then beaten with elegant and synchronized brutality. The resulting consistency is exceptional. More time you spend on the rest of the meal. It's like exercising around your feet. That's the beautiful flavor. Simple, people usually eat it with other food friends like agusi, a thick soup made with cow parts, melon seeds and other vegetables.

My question, why is this soup solid? It has vegetables, then I had soup, for me it is a little thicker. I know you know what. whatever is common after Nigeria I thought I would taste super now I feel like I look and think what is that ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oh I like that, I like that and I feel like I can taste it with my fingertips before it even rings. it gets Oh oh, that's really good, spicy too, yeah, well, season, but it's like a solid variety of a few different ingredients, almost what the skin is like, this could have been money or Chanel bags, but instead of That, we are going to eat it, yes, the flavor is super or rubbery. also smoky, everything good, everything is the color of heartburn and anger and like yes and blood if I am Buca it is not difficult to find in Nigeria.

The White House's commitment to consistency and quality has made it stand out for years as a classic icon. I am speaking to the new kid on the block boom sir, welcome to our oil without years of reputation to lean on how a new restaurant tour attracts and keeps customers in Lagos. First of all, I have to say that these are some of the toughest women I have ever met. I've never seen a 4550 degree lunch in my life Open a little over a year ago, the local Koya abullah quickly became one of the most popular bucha spots in the city.

They also have a unique casino style operating method that uses chips to purchase your chips, yes. when you spend your chips, you will fill the best method, we tell you the ones that are ready, you still have our chips left, you return this to your yard, nigel Korres, in your restaurant, only one person touches the money, which is Kashia as someone who eats in many restaurants, what are the things you like to see when you go to a restaurant? I think the rich are on the dock and they dine together and eat together. Note that we are going to register well.

I can not afford it. giving them the adjustment giving them good food give them

cheap

food what is your best selling item kamala is already out of stock we do it every five five minutes Paula similar to pounded yam but with different ingredients using black yam flour mix it with hot water until it becomes sticky and brown, this is what everyone calls Paul, yes it smells amazing. I put in a lot of effort and work, it's just that in all Lego, yes, people love it, serve it with a dish called palma de mate. or onion, tomato, red chilies and finally, don't tell me what's going on with these portions, right?

Then you will get a giant new report on what you really think is good for our people in Nigeria for the people in Legos, are they eating a meal? so three times a day in my house we try to eat this yeah, oh oh, it's good, I'm really impressed, you know, I've never tried their imma, but wow, try it, plus it has soup and stuff. together they taste amazing, it's delicious, it's so good, it's like a thick soup with a mashed potato type texture, but even smoother than mashed potatoes and then the flavor itself is super spicy and tasty in a way that feels comforting, it warms you. from inside also what is this says a lot said lamb yes flap size of web use on your laptop Oh, what do you think?

I think it's hot. Wow, this is great to be crazy again. It's super soft and should meet the Fed. like I melt it it's too soft holy it's not going so well y'all know you're showing the wrong hand now I know your trick hello first of all thank you for thinking I have enough hair to justify a hairnet yes I need it to actually use this you I give everything, arrows of alais, yes you are arrows, I am arrows, this is the House of Eros, right, meet the total or the OGG bow aka chef, arrows named after the Greek god of love, he He is the man who knows why billionaires eat. lunch he went to London to study international business administration that's where he found the passion and obsession of his life how did you learn to cook?

Cooking for me is a gift. Some people can sing from the book and act. I can cook. I can think of something. I prepare it on the plate and it comes out just as I thought after spending years learning from other chefs and even cooking for people like the president of France. Eros returned to Legos and opened one of the first Nigerian gourmet restaurants with its own chef serving

traditional

food. food with a culinary twist that is more useful for a restaurant entrepreneur, like studying cooking and then trying to start a business or studying a business and trying to figure it out.

I think there are a lot of people out there who are passionate about cooking and about food and then they go crazy when they realize that I'm in charge of setting up a restaurant, it's a complicated business, it's very complicated, there are so many moving parts, so many elements about time, all of that is so complicated. I think that's great advice. so if you want to start a restaurant, take a business course, if you don't have that business acumen, you don't have that knowledge, this will be very difficult, unless you get a partner who is the business person and then you will be the chef and then they balance are you two.

I lean down for dinner. We're going to try three different dishes from the chef's tasting menu, including this creature, the guinea fowl, but first, one two, what not, but actually you're like my dog ​​died. It's just that you are not guys, I'm being elegant, I don't have my presenter boss in my head, I mean, greetings, let me introduce you to my friend in Miss World in Africa, they met before we started filming, in fact, this is the first time we'll try it tonight. It's a version of a local rice called you're welcome. Oh Farah is like the local wild rice.

Very perfumed flavor. Some people like it, some don't, but what we've done with this is we've trusted them. coconut and corn cream and we also added a little corn and topped it with Jojo Jojo is a very fatty Khadaffi that has great marbling. I would use the fat from each to make a pepper sauce and then we served it. inside the shell of a coconut again you know what he said everything, so I say, I go everyone and this is not me anymore, I just want something like you're going to cry, I'm, you're crying, yeah, I think we could do it. another viral moment right now oh that's great when you moved away and then came back after so long, what did you see about your country that you didn't realize before?

I began to appreciate our foot even more because I also missed my togetherness. I missed the The complexity of flavor I missed the depth of many of the things we cooked. I also miss the spiciness of a lot of our food, but I know I saw a lot of growth in the space I was away. Lagos in particular had grown enormously. In terms of the number of people that had moved and the number of new places that are open, and I kind of wanted to join that movement, that's why I decided to stop the restaurant from diminishing the presence of the restaurant, I mean, I can I'm tempted to say that.

Oh, really where is our part, but one thing I know for sure is that you and I are back here. The kind of reception I got here is because from anywhere else in the world it might be louder somewhere else, but the way I feel inside is like that. As much as it feels like, yeah, yeah, there's usually a decisive place that I can really make you feel, although of course Massa, a rice cake fried in butter with suis pepper on top, was something I've seen in Nigeria and which I had never tried before tonight. All we do is put that in butter, rosemary and garlic, that's it, we serve the antelope with antelope reduction and chocolate, so it's all little antelope, your giants, so in my head, just when they kill an antelope , it's like it's at home to dry, so this is basically like my interpretation of a mango, you need to take the envelope off the tree like that layer that in the chocolate, okay, we take a bite, oh, it's so delicious, it's nice antelope, you know, it has a little organ meat flavor. it's like it's almost a little livery that's also super lean and the rice cake tastes a little like ridin whiskey without dust or something so good a little more chocolate we use all the parts of that area and the bones never that's what we use to make your chocolate good, that weird looking bird I saw earlier is there and on this plate, so that bird has been seasoned and salted, it's cooked in a sauce called I'm a she, it's basically like a sauce of habanero served with a pounded yam puree that is covered with that sauce, I see, and that is the rest of the guinea fowl that was put in a meat grinder, it is basically formed in a pocket, enjoy, it is very spicy .

Oh, fantastic, we had surrounded yams before, they gave us like2 kg of He put it in a bowl, yes, and they said to eat them, animals. I like to have this with spilled skin. That's what you said: fork and spoon, so I use this, this is how you mash a yam, it's super smooth, that's the first thing I noticed. then, oh, a strong peppery flavor and that means, oh, it doesn't have as much fat either. I would say yes, but it's not dry or anything, it's like it breaks down and then mixes so well with the other ingredients.

I guess there's a reason. because it's a tasting menu with the devil it's a little small yes, that's the icing on the cake, my name is supposed to go through seven dishes and be able to do it well and the ball, you have a gift, my friend, that's excellent, how I described it, it's just good. Guys just come here, eat it and find out, describe it to yourself and what do you think the whole experience is? There is no way to summarize Lagos or Nigeria. What are the fragments of this culture that you encounter during your stay here?

They will become your reality. One of the main reasons I wanted to come here is because so far in this series we've shown a lot of food from places like Macoco and a lot of times when I go to countries people are disappointed because we don't show high end food because it exists You know, everything that people see becomes reality and this is to balance our coverage of this place as filmmakers. It is the most difficult but most rewarding country I have ever visited. I traveled to be challenged to immerse myself in different and unfathomable. lifestyles different from anything I don't know, but if there is something that I can consider a universal truth it is that this city is not for the weak, everything will go wrong here in our country.

Now I have so much confidence, people who I know we don't like that you're willing to push, we have so much talent, such a beautiful country, it's so colorful and full of so much flavor and death, and people love each other, you know, I've never so much fun. a mix of schools like me I had the worst time at the best time. Hello guys, how are you doing with this quarantine? More like original teeth. If you're like me, you're probably bingeing twice a day. Listen, let's get it. Through this I'm not talking about the apocalypse, I don't know anything about that, I'm talking about this constant stomach stretching that we keep doing, but if we move forward, if we persevere, at the end of the day we can call ourselves food. coma survivors for the t-shirt and we are donating 25% of the proceeds from this campaign to feed America's Cove at nineteen response farms, they are helping food banks and helping people all over the United States who need it, so It's a great t-shirt, it's a great cause, thank you.
