Nigerian cuisine · What is Nigerian cuisine?

Nigerian cuisine (Nigerian food) grew from iru / ogiri / garri and swallow / rice / yam. Jollof rice is the postcard, not the whole map. Nigerian cuisine sits at spice 76 in this atlas. Jollof rice and Suya show the range better than a single heat number.

Nigerian cuisine · 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 cuisine did not arrive as a single national plate. Its older structure is visible in Jollof rice, Swallow and the regional kitchens that still disagree.
