Nigerian Cuisine Exposure

Nigerian cuisine seems to be going into extinction - well its a gradual process, because we don't realize how rich our country's culture is in terms of food. There are soo many tribes with so many dishes with so many alternative ways to make them, its amazing! Every adult that got the chance to travel around during the '70s and the '80s enjoyed some of these varieties and I am sure will be lamenting this extinction.
This is one of the major reasons I took to sharing Nigerian recipes via this blog, to try to keep the memory alive!
I noticed some other people share this reality - On NigeriansTalk, the Blogger took the time to compile all the notable mentions of food in our Beloved Blogosphere. Our favourite, Alhaji's Groove, got a mention, as well as our African Weight Loss Favourite.

Please go over and read it all up!

Local food: Yam

Yam is a root tuber eaten in Africa and some parts of Asia. There are several types of Yam (Yellow yam, Water Yam, Small Yam etc) and each one is consumable.
There are various ways that this tuber can be eaten, pounded, boiled, roasted, Fried, Mashed, just name it. Every tribe in Nigeria has access to Yam and cooks it in various ways.
Got a better recipe for Yam? Know more than two ways to cook this tuber? BRING IT ON! Post it here!

We are all waiting!
