caption_attribution_description: English: This soup is solid proof of the hedonistic superiority of Cross Riverian cuisine. I love the utter salubriousness of it. You won’t catch me cooking Afang Soup in Lagos because I need that palm oil that comes just after the first rains from Boki in Cross River State. If you don’t have good palm oil, please don’t bother to try and cook Afang Soup. The very essence of it is the excess pool of palm oil and it has to be the very best quality. This is an image of food from Nigeria

context_section_description: Nigerian cuisine, like West African cuisine in general, is known for its richness and variety. Many different spices, herbs and flavourings are used along with palm oil or groundnut oil. These make deeply flavoured sauces and soups often made very hot with chili peppers. Nigerian feasts are colourful and lavish. Good smelling market and roadside snacks cooked on barbecues or fried in oil are plentiful and varied.
