Is it possible to eat fast food everyday, gorge on carbohydrates, eat oddities like massive snails and bushmeat, remove exercise from your vocabulary, drink chapman and sangria, and still lose weight???

Yes! It is possible if aforementioned items were consumed in Nigeria. Absolutely. The one thing these food items have in common is that they are all made from organic materials. No chemicals. Even the fast food.

So here is an introduction to some of the food items that you must try if you happen on Lagos, Nigeria:

• Chicken Republic Meat Pies and Sausage Rolls - Succulent sacks filled with delicious meaty goodness; pipping hot even at 10 pm at night. You know you've had a good meatpie when the crust sticks to the roof of your mouth.

• Mr. Biggs Donuts - They're big. They're brown. They're fluffy. And they are filled with a squirt of some nebulous, red matter disguised as jam. The fun of eating one of these funbags is trying to find the squirt of jam.

• Mr. Biggs Spicy Chicken - You know you've had a quarter of free range spicy chicken when your fingers are dyed and you can't touch anything otherwise it instantly becomes combustible.

• Balogun Market Poff Poff - These round poffs of floury nothingness can bring a grown man to his knees. Especially when it is freshly "wahrr-ed" (scooped) off the "ina" (fire). They go down easier than a Krispy Kreme doughnut.

• Coconut Candy - Pan fried coconut shreds seared in (i suspect) peanut oil. Getting your jaw exercise while enjoying natural sugars.

• Small Chops - The new rage served at parties that could include spring rolls, meat pies, sauteed snails, poff poff, etc. My one mission on every trip home is to eat a plate of small chops all by myself!

• Suya - Kebabs have nothing on this delicacy of meat of questionable origin. Bought from an authentic malam. Eaten with toothpicks. Doused in extra suya spice. What more could a girl ask for.

• Chicken Republic Soft Serve Ice cream - All I can say is whole milk is a good thing! Its been a long time since I've tasted anything more than 2%.

• Assorted (exotic!) tropical fruit juices - Lots of brands. So much to choose from. And with exotic names like Pineapple Passion, etc, they go down well with anything you eat, even eba and soup!.

• Fish Biscuits - Again, one of those random, cheap biscuits brought by relatives. You don't know the source of these goodies, but they taste good with tropical exotic fruit juices!
