What is the name of the special food?

I have eaten a lot of food in my entire life, but the one very food i don't joke with is fried rice. This meal is the king of food in the most parties celebrated in my Country Nigeria. We don't miss preparing this meal during festive season like Christmas, Easter and Mother's Day. We also cook it during special occasions in my family.

Where did you eat this food? Or if you have a recipe, you can share it.

I usually eat this delicacy at home. I will share the ingredients and procedure for it's preparation.

Why is this food the most special food you eat in your life?

This food is a special food in my life not just because it's nutritious and balanced diet but it also helps to strengthen my family bond. We usually cook and eat it together during festive season when all my family members are around.

And why would you encourage everyone to eat this food?

I will encourage everyone to eat this meal because I wouldn't want to enjoy the delicacy alone, it is also nutritious and well balanced.

Hello friend, this dish is usually cooked on special occasions in my home. Your preparation steps is quite different from mine but that's the fun about this food, people have different ways of making it but it sure comes out delicious. And it's got high nutritional values. The protein I love to use is goat meat or chicken and it has to be fried. Thanks for sharing your procedure with us.

Wow, we also prepare this meal during festive period or special occasions in my house. Fried rice has so many ways of preparing it, the most important thing is for it to turn out nice. Thanks for your review.

It is a great way to share the love for this dish! I am happy to know about this. I have to ask, what's your favorite part about fried rice? Is it the combination of flavors, the texture, or something else? And do you have a secret recipe or a favorite way of preparing it?

I love everything about fried rice, the combination of flavours, texture and everything about it. I don't have a secret recipe, this recipe I shared is the recipe I use for all my fried rice.

Greetings to this contest,,
Fried rice is one of my favorite food. But this dish is prepared only in winter season in our region. Leftover rice from night is fried rice in the morning with different vegetables and edible oil.

Glad to know that my favorite dish is also cooked in various major festivals celebrated in your country. And thanks a lot for sharing your method of frying rice.
I wish you the best in this competition. stay well

Yes I love fried rice especially when it is garnish with chicken and salad,then add a bottle of chilled fanta for me to step it down. I can answer yes sir/ ma to you all day😀😀. And it is the most served food in any occasions in this part of our world, be it marriages, weddings, burials, child dedication, house warming, you must find fried rice and salad and sometimes it preserve for people on the high table. In my house we eat this kind of food mostly on festive periods. Thank you for sharing, success to you

Lol, everyone definitely loves fried rice because of it's unique taste. Chilled Fanta and salad is also an added advantage to it. Thanks for your review.
