We have been exploring the different kinds of foods Nigerians love to eat and the types of Nigerian foods you have to eat in your life time. These foods are simply wonderful meals you cannot afford to miss.
Now we would be talking about the foods Nigerians want to be served at parties. Please, if you know you will not have these foods served to guests at your party, there is no point inviting anybody because they will be utterly disappointed.
Without these foods being served, there is no party and trust me, the guests would leave as soon as they arrive when they do not see any of the party foods on the table.
Without wasting much time, let us look at some of the foods Nigerians do not joke with at parties; find some of these foods below:
1. Jollof rice
We need not tell you this is the number one food Nigerians want to see at a party. We have people craving for party jollof rice even when there is no party because the party jollof rice is thought to be completely different from the one cooked at home.
Since this has been established, why would you throw a party and not cook jollof rice? What kind of food do you want to serve there is jollof rice is not the main food on the menu? You are definitely a joker. There aint no party if jollof rice is not served.
2. Small chops
So while your guests are engaged with the program of the day, they do not expect the table to empty and dry. Nigerians want to see small chops in small disposable plates served on the table.
They do not joke with the puff-puff, samosas, steak meat that would be served there. While they wait for the famous party rice, they want to keep their mouths busy. The oyinbo people call it appetizer.
3. Pounded yam
Different classes of people would attend your party so you have to put this into consideration when planning the party. The older people in the society prefer to eat pounded yam and expect to find this or any other solid food on the menu.
Have you heard the saying butter is not the food for monkeys? That is how people in that class regard rice. They would rather go for a heavier meal.
4. Porridge
If the party is a classy one, Nigerians expect to see a variety of foods set on the menu. Porridge is one food Nigerians do not joke with at parties as many people would love to go for it. Depending on how well made it is, you will be surprised to see that this does not last till the end of the party.
5. Dundun alata and fried fish
When people must have had their fill of the main foods served at a party, you will be amazed at the rate at which they would rush the fried yam and fried fish. Normally, this is a food Nigerians by at the roadsides and would park their cars to eat while on the move.
Having it served at a party will interest most people and you can be sure it would finish in no time. If you are able to provide this at your party in addition to all the other foods set on the menu, your party would not be forgotten in a long time.
6. Ewa agonyin and dodo
Nigerians love this food and would go to any extent to eat it. Having beans served and fried plantain served at your party means you are considerate and have put nearly everyone into consideration while planning it.
Some guests who are trying to regulate the intake of carbohydrates in their diets would opt in for this easily. Your party would be highly rated if you can provide most of these foods. Nigerians expect that there would be adequate provision for drinks too; you do not want guests to choke after eating all these.
