When it comes to street food, Nigeria is an absolute paradise! From the bustling streets of Lagos to the vibrant markets of Kano, you’ll find snacks that will make your taste buds dance.
Lagos: Puff-Puff & Suya
Let’s kick things off in Lagos, where puff-puff reigns supreme. These fluffy, deep-fried balls of dough are sweet, simple, and seriously addictive. Whether you grab a quick bite on your way to work or munch on them during traffic, puff-puff never disappoints.
But wait, there’s more! Lagos is also famous for suya, a spicy, grilled meat skewer that’s seasoned to perfection. With its smoky flavor and fiery kick, suya is a snack that will keep you coming back for more.
Kano: Kilishi & Fura da Nono
Heading up north to Kano, kilishi is a must-try. Think of it as Nigeria’s version of beef jerky, but way tastier! Thin slices of beef are dried and coated with a blend of spices before being roasted over a fire. It’s spicy, chewy, and absolutely delicious.
