Common Food we pair two together

Banana + Groundnut

The banana is an edible fruit, botanically a berry, produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa.

Sometimes, the best street foods are usually the simplest. The banana and groundnut combo is a simple and popular option for people who use the Lagos-Ore road.

Bananas are considered fruit; however it is filling and can pass for a complete meal, especially when combined with fried or roasted groundnuts. Most hawkers pair the two together and the combo can be purchased from as low as NGN 150-200.

Boboze + Coconut

Boboze also called “akpu mmiri” is a meal made from cassava. It is prepared by slicing cassava into strips, half-boiling it and then soaking it in water for days to kill any lingering toxin.

It is usually combined with coconut for a tastier experience and vendors often tie small quantities of this combo in a transparent nylon bag half-filled with water to keep the meal moist, as that is how it is best eaten. The only reason some travelers do not purchase this much is because of the germs that may be contained in the water used by the local vendor.
