Nigerian cuisine is vibrant and flavorful, with staples
like "Jollof rice"
(a spiced rice dish considered the
national dish), "Egusi soup" (rich and
creamy made with melon seeds), "Pounded yam" (mashed yam served
with various soups), "Efo riro" (a spinach-like vegetable
stew), and "Suya"
(grilled skewered meat with spices)
being popular choices; depending on
the region, meals may also include "Garri" (a cassava flour
porridge), "Akara" (fried bean fritters), and a variety of
soups like Ogbono or Afang, often accompanied by starchy sides like
"Eba" (cassava dough) for dipping and scooping.
