Now we all know there is an almost standard feast most Nigerians eat for Christmas... Think: Jollof Rice, Fried Rice, Chicken, Turkey, Plantain, Salad etc... But is there actually one for Easter?
I googled classic Nigerian Easter dinner, but nothing came up. So started looking at the "Oyinbo" versions of an Easter dinner. It revolved around three "meats": Ham (ehn?!); Lamb (more like it); and Chicken (by now they were speaking my language); Sides were macaroni and cheese; potatoes; stuffed peppers(!); rice etc.
So if we were to adapt the above for the Nigerian taste I'd say the typical easter dinner should be jollof rice; fried rice; potatoes; chicken; beef; macaroni and of course plantain! So, not much different from our typical naija Christmas feast :)
What do you think the perfect naija easter dinner is? What are you making for easter?

I dont think its fair on my taste buds "save" ram for Sallah only. By all means if you can kill ram for Easter please do, the meat is delicious!
