Halloween is here, and we've got a few ideas for what you should be eating.
Halloween doesn't have to be all about candy and chocolates. If you're spending the evening at home, having friends over or watching a scary movie, you might as well have some good food to go with it.
And we're not talking about just any food. We're talking suya, dibi, jollof, kelewele and a bowl of pepper soup for those who can really handle their spice.
Here are five African favourites worth adding to your Halloween plans.
Suya is always a good idea, especially when you're having people over. Grilled meat coated in suya spice, served with onions and pepper. Get a few portions for everyone, because sharing one might cause problems.
If you've had good Senegalese dibi before, you already know. Well-grilled meat with onions and mustard on the side. Nothing complicated, just good food. Get some for your Halloween movie night, and don't forget the pepper.
We couldn't leave jollof out. Ghanaian or Nigerian, we're not starting that argument today. Just get yourself a good plate with chicken and plantain, and enjoy your evening.
If you want something to snack on, kelewele is a solid choice. Spiced fried plantain with groundnuts on the side. It's easy to keep eating without realising how much you've finished. Order enough if you're sharing.
Now, this one is for people who take their pepper seriously. A hot bowl of Nigerian pepper soup with goat meat, fish or your preferred protein can make a good addition to your evening. And if you're watching a scary movie, at least you'll have something to keep you warm.
You don't need to throw a big Halloween party to enjoy yourself. Invite a friend over, put on a movie, order something you love and have a good evening. Whether it's suya, dibi, jollof or something else you've been craving, check out the restaurants on African Dishout and see what's available near you.
