FOOD & DINING IN NIGERIA
GENERAL
There are restaurants of all varieties in Lagos and the major towns. European and Oriental food is readily available. Although there are self-service cafes, mainly in department stores, most restaurants have table service. Nigerian food is typical of that found throughout West Africa, with regional variations. In the north, meat is more popular than in other areas. Spirits are expensive. Larger hotels and clubs have bars and cocktail lounges
National specialties
• Yam.
• Sweet potatoes.
• Plantain and pepper soup.
• Suya (barbecued liver and beef on sticks) and kilishi (spiced dried meat).
• In the east egussi soup (stew of meat, dried fish and melon seeds).
• In the south, goat meat and bush meat - particularly antelope - are considered a delicacy.
National drinks
• There are many brands of locally brewed and bottled beer which are very good.
• Nigerian brewed Guinness is available.
