Nigerian cuisine — 1990s, UK / US Naija
Decide the order of Nigerian cuisine before the pan is hot. “UK / US Naija” in 1990s names that order, and 76 is heat, salt, or time. Do not treat a restaurant photo’s gloss as a quantity. Cross-family: pepper, stew and a West African memory in the Caribbean.
The home pantry around Swallow and the labour behind Suya rarely fit a takeaway box. Are restaurant versions "authentic"? Restaurant Nigerian cuisine is one register. Home pots and market stalls are others. Authenticity is a marketing word; technique is not. Nigerian food is the local name used in this atlas beside Nigerian cuisine.
Nigerian cuisine is organised around iru / ogiri / garri and swallow / rice / yam. Jollof rice and Suya are the plates most diners meet first. Street and home forms differ. The export icon is real; the pantry behind iru / ogiri / garri is what makes it a system. Nigerian cuisine is organised by iru / ogiri / garri and swallow / rice / yam.
Lagos concentrates restaurants; the provinces keep the older pots. A single national menu abroad is a greatest-hits list. iru / ogiri / garri is the bass. swallow / rice / yam is the meal. Regional fats and pickles do more work than a last-minute chili flake. Share the centre; keep a personal starch.
76 belongs to “UK / US Naija” in 1990s. Nigerian cuisine is not a sentence about taste until that measure is there.1990s
