Best Nigerian Comfort Foods for Rainy Days
Rainy days in Lagos call for meals that are hot, filling and deeply familiar. When the weather cools, pepper soup, asaro, ewa riro and amala with gbegiri, ewedu and obe ata often become more comforting than ever. Simple street-food favourites also shine in the drizzle. Hot akara with pap or Agege bread, roasted corn with pear, and boli with groundnuts can turn a grey afternoon into a small treat. After battling traffic in a downpour, many people reach for steaming noodles, jollof rice, seafood okra, afang or banga soup. As someone who explores Lagos restaurants, I have found that the best rainy-day meals are not always elaborate. Familiar food, prepared with care and served hot, is often all the comfort we need.
