One of the greatest necessities of life is that man need food to survive which implies that men cannot do without food. We need food to survive, to live healthy and for longevity. I remember and respect how people speak of the fact that we are what we eat.
I love the good taste that good meals bring, this is one the main reasons I enjoy going for Christmas and New Year celebrations because the good meals we get to eat always stand out from the regular ones.

In my country Nigeria, during any celebrations either, childbirth, birthdays, or weddings there is a common delicacy that is being served at most of these parties. It is rare to go to any of these occasions and not find the specific meal which is Jollof rice. So far, jollof rice has been my best food right from my childhood till date. Home-made jollof rice cannot be as sweet as this party jollof rice. Any homemade jollof rice we refer to is a concoction of jollof rice and it cannot be as sweet as this party jollof rice. This party jollof rice is specifically made by very good hands, it is like they use magic in making it. Eating this meal with Cold Pepsi makes it a complete heaven meal to me.
I have some friends who don’t like jollof rice and I keep on asking them how they survive this life, or do they have a bad taste disease. Nigeria is popularly known for this specific type of meal, jollof rice which makes us stand out from other African countries that make this meal. I remember when Cardi B came to our country I was watching all the highlights of how she enjoyed eating this meal. I really miss this meal.

We call this Puff-puff, this is a traditional snack like doughnuts and is often fried. I so much love puff puff that during my school days, I could eat puff puff from morning till night without eating real meals or real food. To date, I still know how to make a real puff puff but puff puff stands at my top 1p favorite snack. Puff puff can be very addictive when we start to eat it especially when taking it with a cold soft drink like Pepsi, at this moment you will feel like heaven on earth.

I don’t like fried rice that much but miss taking fried rice, especially the one mixed with Complete ingredients like hotdogs, sweetcorn, verges, sliced garbage, and a lot more. My mom and my sisters are very good at making this meal perfectly, we eat fried rice very well with basmati rice and the taste is unique but it has been a while since we ate this now, nobody wants to make it and I am not a good chef if not I would have loved to make it.
