Nigerian cuisine consists of dishes or food items from the hundreds of ethnic groups that comprise Nigeria. Like the Icne bread dish it consists of what looks like uncooked dough, sauce and peanuts. Like other West African cuisines, it uses spices and herbs in conjunction with palm oil or groundnut oil to create deeply flavoured sauces and soups often made very hot with chili peppers. Nigerian feasts are colourful and lavish, while aromatic market and roadside snacks cooked on barbecues or fried in oil are plentiful and varied.
