Our country is full of diverse and interesting cultures. A variety of factors shape our cultures. For example, the clothes we wear, the languages we speak, the traditions we keep, and, of course, the food we eat. A local dish can tell you a lot about a culture, typically because its signature dishes consist of the popular ingredients from the area.

Along with local ingredients, the staple foods of the various cultures in Nigeria are usually cooked in a way that is unique to the region too. This combination of distinct cooking styles and locally-sourced ingredients creates a particular flavor that is symbolic of the corresponding culture.

Some staple foods come to mind when you think about certain cultures. For example, The yorubas are known for “Amala and ewedu soup” while the Igbos are known for dishes like “Oha spoup”.

The reason food is so ingrained in culture is that cooking is a form of expression. People feel a special connection to the staple foods they grow up eating and sharing with their families. On the one hand, eating signature dishes can even provide comfort to those living far away from their hometowns. On the other hand, for those who are just visiting a new area, typical meals can offer a glimpse into the local cuisine.
