YES! Pounded yam! And is amazing 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🔥🔥🔥
I’ve never have, since there aren’t any Nigerian restaurants near me
NEVER
Yes, my wife is Nigerian, and I've visited Nigeria a few times. I've learned to make Ewa, plantain, Pepper chicken, Joloff rice, and moyin moyin,....oh and egusi stew and pommo,...livers and goat stew,.mmmmmmm, wonderful!
Notice how they weren’t rude about the stuff they weren’t too keen about 😀 it is possible to not like something without being rude
They kinda were just in a subtle way, like smelling it before you eat it and being “surprised”
@@staytruealways207 I don't think so. I'm a foodie and like to absorb every aspect of the meal I'm excited to eat. The smell, the taste on my palate, swallowing it..I just love to take it all in and assess everything together. My mom didn't like I did that though but I think it's a cultural myth that smelling food is like saying the food looks nasty, whereas smelling actually begins the process of enjoying the meal.
Nah that wasn't being disrespectful@@staytruealways207
@@staytruealways207 or maybe, just maybe, they were being cautious because it's something new the might not like 😮
yea bc it’s going on youtube lol
"It's not for me, but thank you for allowing me to taste it."
I wish more people had that sentiment in all aspects of life.
Truly, she's everything beautiful and more
Nigerian food is really hard to make. Getting it at a restaurant can be hit or miss. If you want really good Nigeria food your best bet would be to find a Nigerian mom to cook for you lol
Or watch TH-cam cuz the West Afrucan sistahs will teach ya! ❤
I make my own Pepper soup and my own Yam porridge and my own Jolloff and my own Egusi and my own light soup and my own Kontombere and my own everything
I'm Nigerian-American, grew up eating Nigerian food. Mexican food is my top favorite outside of Nigerian food! It's cool to realize that they are so similar in taste lol
Nigerian American? Is that a thing
@@tsheposeeletso6475 might have parents from both countries
@@tsheposeeletso6475yes it is . She has nigerian parents and is American
I’m guessing
@@tsheposeeletso6475what do you call someone born in America to Nigerian parents?
I just love the woman in purple, she's just so accommodating ❤...so warm😊
She's awesome 👍🏾 I think I've seen her before tasting Jamaican food. ❤
I love her too
Mamah number 2 is very scared
Less threatening I guess? 😂😂😂
and she took that plantain down like a real one.
Pepper soup is great for a hangover or cold , goes well with white rice 🍚
The best food when you're ill... Pepper Soup
Yh you got it
And also boiled yams or unripe plantains
Agreed but rice and pepper soup is a no for me
For me, just a bowl of fresh fish pepper soup with no add on is filling
I just showed my son the ladies responses to show how to RESPECTFULLY respond when you don't like a food. His stepdad is Nigerian lol. I love all these dishes, but we all have preferences.
Their taste buds are active and they know what they are describing,not a miss at all
You should watch the dad's version of this 😊🥺
You're beautiful sis
As a Mexican that loves Nigerian culture, I am soooo happy to watch this!!! 🥰🤩
That’s cool
I’m Nigerian and believe me, we love y’all too
Some Mexicans got Nigerian DNA
@@maryjs4878 yeah. The Afro Mexicans
@@rickyronny4019 And even the ones that aren't afro Mexicans. If.. you know what I mean..
The respect these women had for food from another country was so sweet to me ❤
As a Nigerian, if my food aint spicy, i might have a bad day 😂. Y’all did amazing ❤
The fact they liked the punishment drinks it wasn’t even a punishment after all 😂
Did she just say she'd try ogbono with rice? 😹
I love how they are welcoming, fair and non judgemental about the meals. ❤
It may not be an "authentic" idea, but it was a good one. It would flavor the rice similar to mixing rice and curry. It would be delicious.
Who be dis? Ogbono is nothing like curry😂😂
It’s not gonna flavor nothing about rice😩😂
Funny enough my dad has eaten rice with ogbono because my mum was going to throw it out because "bottom pot" and he didn't want to waste it
As a Nigerian-Am. that loves Mexican food😋, I’m really happy to see the Mamas try Nigerian food and say some remind them of Mexican dishes! Love tamales cus it reminds me of moin-moin🇳🇬💚
Much love, we are all connected 💕✨🪬 I love me some Mexican food too but I also love me some fufu and stewed okra lol
Same I remember trying nacatamles in Nicaragua and people were saying I might not like it, it’s an acquired taste etc. first bite and I was like this is moi moi, it’s not made with all the same ingredients but somehow it’s moi moi from the taste lol
I know, right!!! I love tamales and spanish rice. Mexican cuisine is one of my fav.
Uhm, honey we call it "moi-moi" tho 😅
@@kinganyib738Not her
As I Nigerian… my mouth was droolingggggg. Egusi is my favourite soupppppp. Nice to see them appreciate our food 🤤
Ikr! That Moi moi was calling my name 😂
The person that cook that Egusi didn’t cook it well
@@Love-ng6juim glad im not the only one that noticed 😭 looked super watery
I’m not Nigerian, but my husband is and my mouth was drooling as well! The egusi and the moi moi 😍🤤.
They were being nice
Ponmo should be juicy from soaking in stew for a whole day. We need a redo with me cooking those foods
No, you need to apply to the "Nigerian men cook" show and show us your skills so the Internet can judge you accordingly
Exactly! Ponmo is supposed to be juicy. God will bless you my brother!
My question is who cook that ogbono soup and fish pepper soup cause na small thing dey make me vex ,why is it so plain...... Osi m it taste like tea ( a whole pepper soup) taste like tea 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just dey vex. Everything looks so bland. Nothing like quality Nigerian food
Omo my own complaint nah the egusi............. didn't look proper at alllllllo 😂
Agree almost made me mad like i had to go cook for them
You! Thank you.
I was about to comment this then decided to go through the comments first.
Whoever made them needs to go back to cooking school.
@@a.c.2214I agree with you. The egusi looked soooo bland. No substance at all 😂
Pounded yam is SO good! 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
garri(eba) is better 😌
@@ikwuamaesi4027 no way💀 pounded yam or amala is better than Eba
@@Tonislays 😂 it is! 100% especially with okra and egusi ...oh and owho 🤤
As a Nigerian born in the US, I’m so happy they’re trying our food 😆 And also It looks like Lupe is losing weight 😍
So she is losing weight. I thought I was trippin for a moment there 💀
Just returned from the US, San Antonio TX had a very good Nigerian shop, with almost all the exotic stuff found in Nigeria. That night we had smoked turkey, plantain, black eyed beans with pepper sauce,...and rice of course. Nigerian shop near me here in the UK, has most foods, but very expensive, Birmingham is the best for choice.
‼️‼️
As a nigerian in nigeria this is awesome to see !!!
P.s they are commenting about the dishes being too spicy and I don't think they made those dishes are as spicy as we do in the continent
Right? I thought so too lol
If someone says it's spicy, it is spicy. I don't like spicy foods either, and the same dish that's spicy to me may not be spicy to another. My mum's Yoruba and I don't eat a lot of pepper 🌶️
It's actually spicy... I think they make Nigerian food intentionally spicy in America to establish the fact that Nigerian food is spicy...
In Nigeria, we don't make our food that spicy...
@@davidolujinmi1919 are you sure ?
Because my uncle was in America last Christmas and that was not his experience
@@vershima69 I guess... Plus habanero pepper which Nigerians living in America like to opt for is very very very spicy... Far more spicy than any pepper we have in Nigeria
Hearing a Mexican saying it’s too spicy, got my pale self scared to try it 🤣
I am British Nigerian. In secondary school my English friends visited me and they tried jellof rice they literally almost passed out. They wanted to try pepper soup as well, I told them the police my arrest my mum for manslaughter cause the might die 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂@@isychi7314
@@isychi7314 it's Jolof rice
@@kelechialozie3522 I spell it how my mum says it. Apparently since she's lived in Cameroon for a while, they call it jellof there. Hope that helps
Yeah most ppl pronounce it jellof in Nigeria so I grew up thinking that's how it was spelled 😅
They are so polite!! Thank you for allowing me to try. I love Nigeria food ❤❤❤❤
That woman in purple is literally a Nigerian, we Nigerians are welcoming her into our midst, she ate everything like a Pro😂😂😂 well-done beautiful woman with a golden heart 💝❤️

Hh
Meee
I subbed
Cringe
It’s nice seeing Mom’s get together and enjoy food from different countries
@@banxzzgocrazyyI subscribe
In Nigeria, particularly within the Yoruba culture, the consumption of spicy foods holds significant prominence. Indeed, there exists a widely known adage that characterizes individuals who abstain from or express disdain for spice as lacking in fortitude.
Emi ti o je ata, emi yepereni 😅
I would love to visit Nigeria but I can't eat spicy food 😫
@@Jeanology Please visit, not all our dishes are spicy. Plus, although we generally like spicy food, a lot of people have different preferences and there are dishes to accommodate for that
If it wasn’t for our African enslaved ancestors, Latin and Caribbean food wouldn’t be what it is today. So dope to see Mamas, trying African cuisine…let’s do Haitian food next!!❤ much love
wait, did tomato salsas and chilis not exist in the Americas before 1700s? always thought potatoes were from the Americas too, way before europeans arrived?
@@krono5elThey did, they spread from there.
That’s a lie lol
@@javyjuarez8877 It’s a bit of a generalization but definitely not a lie by any means.
sorry but no, latin american cuisine is heavily influenced by Native Americans, best cuisines in Latin America are Peru and Mexico two nations with heavy Native American influences, youll never find Puerto Rico, Cuba or DR on any top cuisine list anywhere in the world so stop it, you are erasing Native American influences LMAO ill stick with Mexican food and you can keep your black african influence cuisine

The spice in nigerian food is actually often habanero peppers! my mom grows them in her garden and freezes gallon bags full. she cooks it with the seed and all, she just blends them up with water and adds to the food 😂
the traditional chili is actually scotch bonnets, but Habanero's are a common substitute for Nigerians in the west because they are extremely similar because they are closely related. the only difference in taste is that scotch bonnets are sweeter
Nigerian here, we use a lot of scotch bonnets aswell
@@sanisecond scotch bonnet and habanero are the same thing I thought?
@@dreadlocdfairy no, there closely related but they are different, like I said Scotch bonnets are a bit sweeter than habanero's but they are roughly equally hot. the Habanero is the best substitute for scotch bonnets in Nigerian food. I live in Australia and can't get scotch bonnets so I use habanero's for that reason.
@sanisecond we use habaneros too in Nigeria, but you're right. scotch bonnets are our first choice.
I like that they all liked their punish sodas 😂😂😂
Nothing makes me happier than seeing them eating with their hands and also leatning about our culture!!
That peppersoup was not peppersouping 😂 Who made that?😂
My sister. Na the ogbono na im pain me pass. So bland. That's a punishment ogbono.
😂😂😂😂
It's too plain. I'm afraid they may not get the authentic taste and flavour
I love the Chola that calls everyone "fool".
😂😂😂😂 that's EXACTLY what I said!!!
Love her 😊
RIGHT ON!
When the chili has so much rizz it takes the game away from the goat. That chili is bad ass.
Not eating swallow like flatbread🤣❤️
Was waiting for the host to mention it
Thank you I thought I was the only one who saw that
As a Nigerian none of those dishes look right, maybe the jolllof but I wouldn't touch the rest. It just looks very wrong, next time go to an authentic Nigerian restaurant.
Yeah seriously was upset
Especially the ogbonno and eguisi
@@mercyegwurubeotsepa9721and the pepper soup, it looked nothing like pepper soup.
@MissTracyyy223 yeep! She was spot with that one it looked like tea 😂😅
The pepper soup!😭
West African cuisine uses a lot of spices, herbs, and plant-foods that are endemic to the region, were domesticated there, and aren’t found anywhere else in the world, whereas a lot of other cuisines had more of these exchanged throughout long-distance trade.
It's not that they didn't attempt to trade them, but most of our plant species just won't grow anywhere else in the world.
@@kelechialozie3522 Yeah they were domesticated there and come from that environment I guess if what I meant.
@@kelechialozie3522 Then of course there are plenty of plants which have a broad distribution across tropical regions of the world due to having seeds that float and such. But being in an area with so many seasoning plants just found naturally there makes it convenient.
Who ever made that ogbono soup should be fired
Fr....😅
As a Nigerian, that ogbono is not drawing and the pepper soup looks more like gutter water.
But I really enjoyed the video and the women’s reaction in all.
Yeah even the egusi sef no look good
Yep those two looked especially off
I’d say don’t compare people’s food to gutter water
Yeah.. the ogbono isnt slimy, the egusi didn't look good, the pepper soup 😢
The pepper soup made me cry a bit
I never had Nigerian food, but I would love to try it.
You should. But I must ask, can you handle spice?
'Cause our foods are spicy and peppery.
@@toruwaltfr my mum has now reduced the spice in her food because I can’t handle it😭 and she like “you know you are Nigerian,” lol
Really love this; and so wholesome review and loved their genuine interest. No one said anything bad about it either which is great to see.
Thank you to these lovely women for being so respectful and open-minded
The mama that kept saying fuuuu had me😂😂
Yayyyy Ive ben waiting for them to try African food! Rhank you! Im a Black American and felt like Jollof was a spicier and tad bit more flavorful Spanih rice! I told my Latina friend thisn when I first tried it that it tadtes just like it! Egusi is good but idk if its the texture I cant get with or what. But I love West African food. I think its so crazy how alot of African and Caribbean foods have similarities with Latin foods.
Because it's All from One place bby
The Original; Africa
Yea Spanish rice has zero flavor. Not a fan!
They all have historical ties to each other
Same roots 💚💚💚
They’re so kind and lovely.
Take me to Nigeria 😂
Pounded yam and egusi is everything
Have them try ethiopian food
I want to try Ethiopian food
They should
The third lady just killed me. She said Ogbono soup with rice will be better. Shit, I'm dead.
"This looks very Mexican" Yeah because African influence is in everything no matter how much people try to deny it.
Yup
Cause we were and Are Everywhere
It's the Original after all
It’s true. Africa has influenced so many cultures
@@EmpressAshecap, the origin is mesopotamia.
@@lugi25lmao what.
Stop clowning!!! Cassava is not even native to Africa but south America
I love the lady in the jean jacket 😂
The sodas 😂
Lulu: Bacon
Monica: Sweet corn
Lupe: Peanut butter and jelly
One of the things I’m so grateful for is that as an American, my taste buds are exposed to just about everything. I can honestly say I love (Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Italian, Greek, Spanish, Ethiopian, Dominican, and so much more) My favorite is Jamaican food tho. There’s just something about their use of spice and sweet and the slow cooking methods.
Watching them complain of how spicy the dishes are makes me laugh 😂😂. If you give most Nigerians food without the normal amount of pepper in it, makes most of us want to throw up after eating.
This is awesome! These ladies are so sweet and the personalities are 100! Love it! ❤
Yes! Thanks For this! Love mamahs❤❤❤❤❤
These Mamas are so sweet❤.
Last month, i had fufu and the stew for the first time and boy, that was delicious
I love the video, you did a great job.
Also the mums and dads were so honest in their reviews . I didn’t know mexicain and Nigerian food were so similar .
I will try Mexican food in the future ❤
Watching a Mexican mom explore Nigerian cuisine is such a delightful cultural exchange! It's wonderful to see her enjoying the rich and diverse flavors. Food truly brings us all together!"💖🩷💖🩷💖❤️
I love this! I love that they are open to trying new foods- They were all cordial & the woman with the glasses was funny 😂
Lovely women. They all displayed such grace and openmindedness
When making foreigners try Nigeria dishes..pls give it to a good chef..the soups didn’t look good at all
I swear. It's only the jollof that looked nice
Loved the lil quiz session😁😁
As a Nigerian, this was really fun and funny to watch. I love the honest feedback on the food too
~ They’re all so great in camera. Love this. 💯
Does she not know where Mexican & Spanish rice comes from? Heck a lot of Mexican food is rooted in African cooking.😅
False. It comes from indigenous cooking
@@kylelemm3516No lol. Rice is indigenous to West Africa, not Mexico.
@@kylelemm3516Many Mexicans got Nigerian DNA and they don't even know it.
Rice is indigenous to Africa, way before the intruders came and took it around the world.
Very true. Actually, rice is indigenous to many parts of Africa and originated in Africa. Through trade thousands of years ago, it made its way to Asia. I studied this.
It’s cool to see Hispanic folks try Nigerian food
This looks so good bro
Thank you for introducing us to the world... very insightful opinions ❤❤❤
I love every bit of the video 😅. The mom on wine top loves all the dishes 😊😂😂
Mama in purple was so genuine and understanding ❤😂
Egusi and moi moi are LIFE!!
The cook didn't do the dishes justice... aside that I think the mamas were fantastic ❤❤❤
Yeah, merely looking at the ogbono soup will tell you that won’t taste nice.
The lady on Jean is so phenomenal 😂. I love her
thanks for trying my hometime food, am so happy
They were fun to watch and they knew their food, especially with the kponmo.😊
food wil always bring people together, and is interesting that sometimes we eat the same food just prepared in a different way
Original ogbono soup dey draw! Meaning original ogbono soup is slimy....this is just the texture when cooked in the right way.
The moms are right about the ponmo, it's supposed to be softer than that. They're also right about the pepper soup, it's medicinal.... we'd usually prepare it for a sick person, some times a new mom but other than that, we just love to have it, 😂😂😂 not just with fish, you could use other proteins in it.
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu for sharing.❤️❤️❤️
Thoroughly enjoyed this video
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. You can tell these adorable women have palates of gold!
Those sodas are interesting - not Nigerian - but interesting
I love that they enjoy the food 😍
I love how nice they are
I love how constructive they are even when they taste something their bud isn’t accommodating… a great way to say “No, I don’t like it” when the issue is a sensitive one like this .
This is so amazinggg ♥️🇳🇬🇳🇬
That olg homegirl spiritual, 😂😂😂
She kept hunnid
Monica is amazing wanna see her in more videos 👏🏼
As a Nigerian i enjoyed watching them enjoy our food ❤
It is well with our souls, in the mighty name of Jesus. Give ur life to Jesus today and make him the Lord and personal saviour of ur life ❤
Amen!
First time I tried the egusi soup with pounded yam it was unexpected. My good friend is from Nigeria and he makes it for me. I’ve tried a few dishes so far and love the spices they use
Oh these ladies are delightful
The lady in jean jacket is life😂
Moimoi shines best with lots of onions and some crayfish when grinding the paste for the moimoi .
Also addition of halved boiled eggs gives it color and looks more appetizing.
Never had Nigerian food, but im curious to try it. I appreciate all cuisines of the world.
i love their comments on the pepper soup 😊
I've never had Nigerian or any West African food, but I'd love to try some. Let's go East in Africa, and try some Ethiopian food next?
You should
So happy to watch them have a go, I was smiling but i must say that if u really want to taste my country Nigerian delicacies then take a trip and come over and eat authentic Nigerian food, u need to taste Nigerian smoky party Jollof rice hmmm so yummy, I oh I an cooking and time to eat
I love this video!
Yay! Mi país ❤
😂❤❤ asking a Mexican which part of Africa is Nigeria located is like asking a Nigerian how to get to Mexico in a bowl of jollof rice😂😂😅
