The Great Debate: Smoked or Fresh?
Ask five Nigerians how they like their meat in jollof rice or egusi soup, and you’ll get five passionate answers. While fresh meat is popular, smoked meats have a special place in our cuisine.
Flavor Wars: Bold vs. Mild
- Smoked Meats: The deep, smoky flavor is unmatched, thanks to hours over hardwood fires and secret blends of local spices. This flavor soaks into stews and soups, making each spoonful rich and layered.
- Fresh Meats: These bring their own charm, milder taste, tender texture, but need strong seasoning to stand out.
Convenience Factor
- Smoked Meats: Pre-cooked and ready to use! Just slice into your pot, no long marinating or boiling needed. Ideal for busy families.
- Fresh Meats: Require cleaning, prepping, seasoning, and longer cooking times.
