#86 Setting the Record Straight on Nigerian Food | Ronke Shakirat-Edoho dispells myths

Nigerian cuisine has a misinformation problem — and Ronke Shakirat-Edoho, founder of 9jafoodie, has spent years doing something about it.

In Part 2 of this conversation, we get into the parts of Nigerian food culture that don't always make it into the conversation: the street food scene and an unspoken rule about competition that shapes how it works, what happens when Nigerian food has to adapt to a new country and a new ingredient list, and the nutrition myths that have followed this cuisine for years.

We also get into palm oil — the real story, and why collapsing a whole traditional food culture into an industrial agricultural problem is doing a lot of people a disservice.

Ronke also shares what drove her to start 9jafoodie in the first place. There's a quote she came across on a major platform about African food that she has never forgotten — and hearing it in her words makes it land.
