Some foods are meant to go together, e.g bread and tea, pap and akara, rice and stew etc. I know we Nigerians like to combine everything in the name of food but there are certain people who take it an extra mile. I once mentioned a former neighbour who I caught drinking garri with boiled egg.
The yorubas renamed palm oil beans to ewa goin and now they use its new name to combine everything they can with it.
Some food combinations even sound gay e.g potatoes and bread; and lesbian eg boiled egg and beans.
Here are 10 bizarre food combinations I have seen people eat with my two korokoro eyes.
1 Peppersoup and Bread
Its surprising 5 star restaurants offer this on their menu. How does one combine this? A bite of bread and two sips of peppersoup. Thanks, I’ll pass.
2 Rice and Okro
I don’t even like okro to begin it. Now imagine someone having okro with rice when there’s stew or sauce. I remember visiting a friend and she asked her sister to serve me food. Lo and behold, it was rice and okro which I outrightly rejected. I have friends guilty of this disgusting combination.
3 Rice and Egusi soup.
I honestly wonder why people would rather have soups with rice rather than swallow’ which it was made for.
The only soup allowed with rice is peppersoup and banga soup. – Frank Nweke Junior, 2001
Others include,
4 Palm oil Beans (Ewa goin) and Eba
5 Noodles and Beans
6 Indomie and bread
7 Fried yam and indomie
8 Spaghetti and beans
9 Indomie and pap
10 Bread and okpa
Extra: Drinking garri and suya.

Beans and Ewedu
There is nothing weird here..They are all good combos.
Hmmn. I agree with you.
Well, I don’t really think any particular food combination is weird.
It may just be unusual.
I have eaten raw plantain with okro, and people scream.. I love my okro with bread too.
As long as the combination won’t cause a spontaneous combustion in the stomach, it is all good..

Okro and bread? Now that sounds really weird….lol
