Food

 

 

Many different and tasty foods are eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Nigeria. The main foods in a Nigerian diet are yams, cassava, plantains, and rice. Because Nigeria has such a warm climate, they eat many fruits and vegetables. There is not much cattle in coastal regions so canned margerine, cheese, and powedered milk are eaten instead. However, they can also have imported dairy products. Nigerians are big fans of spicy foods so most meals include a pepper made with fish, chicken, or other meat.
