This Timetable features a compiled list of Nigerian Meals from all parts of the

Country organized by the times of the day when they are traditionally consumed

i.e. Foods eaten at Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner, Foods eaten as snacks, Foods eaten as desserts and Drinks consumed alongside meals... The listing is not exhaustive and I do welcome suggestions & recommendations to further improve the list…

It is worthy of note here that to the best of my knowledge, generally Nigerians eat

whatever combination of foods/dishes at whatever time suits them depending on

occupation, lifestyle, preference and availability of meals. .
