You
may have noticed that most Nigerians do not touch their meat till they have
finished their food. They usually save it like they were saving the best for
the last. What is so special about the meat that it is saved for last? Coeanews.blogspot.com brings you some reasons why
Nigerians eat meat last:
1.
Upbringing:
A lot of people were brought up that way. Some children were taught by their
mothers not to eat their meat until they had finished the food. In some homes,
you dare not touch your meat if you have not finished your food or you would be
scolded. So, most children grew up into adulthood with that habit of eating
meat last.
2.
Habit:
Eating
meat last is a habit that has stuck over time. For some people, it is bad habit
to eat your meat before you finish your food.
3.
Motivation:
For some people, the meat is an encouragement to finish the food. Some people
cannot even eat food that has no meat. Once the meat is gone, some people lose
appetite and just stop eating the food.
4.
Save the
best for the last: Some people value their meat so much and believe
it should be reserved for the last. To them, the meat is the trophy they get
for finishing the food.
5. It is embarrassing: How would you feel if you
ate your meat at the beginning and a visitor walks in? The visitor will just
assume you cannot afford meat and that is why you are eating without meat.
6.
It makes the
food unappealing: A meatless
plate makes the food look unappealing. There are people who will never eat food
that has no meat. The meat on top of the plate is like the icing on top of the
cake.
7.
Poverty: you will agree with me that poverty play a greater role
in this as there is always no enough meat in the food. Take for instance if a
plate of rice contains five meat, one will eat the food and meat
interchangeably because the meat is much but when it is only one, you tend to
reserve it till you are done eating as it serves as a trophy. What are
your takes on these points listed above, is any of your own point left out?
