NIGERIAN FOOD (AND MY FAVOURITE FOOD-by AnaVillajos

3 different foods

One of my favourite food is fish and chips. Fish and 

chips are a traditional British dish. It´s made of

fish and potatoes. There are special shops in Britain 

that sell fish and chips. We often have fish and chips 

when we go to the beach.

 

Another food that I like is chicken curry. It is a 

traditional Indian dish. My mum makes it 

sometimes. 

It´s made from chicken and spices. Mum puts 

yoghurt in it too. You eat it with rice. It´s delicious.

Another one of my favourite foods is hamburger. 

Burger haves: lettuce, tomato, bread and meat. With 

a little ketchup or mustard they're tastier. It´s 

delicious. 

Normally I eat it in a place like the Burger King or 

MacDonald’s. The name comes from Hamburg

because they were discovered there. It is 

a fantastic discovery.
