If you grew up in a Nigerian home, you already know... Meat is not just Meat.
It’s the reason siblings quibble, the treasure scattered inside the pot of soup, and the one thing that determines your position in the family hierarchy.
Your position as first born is definitely threatened if your younger brother is served the bigger piece of chicken..
Every meat delicacy whispers something unique about the home it comes from.
