I stumbled on these funny, locally-inspired food quotes quite by accident and thought to share. I don't have any idea who the originator is, but I do believe, however, that whoever came up with them, is brilliant as well as hilarious. Even more hilarious are the famous names the quotes are attributed to. Have fun reading and laughing hard like I did. It will definitely have you in stitches and hopefully, brighten your mood. No offense intended, but if you are not a Nigerian, it might be a little hard to get or appreciate the humour.

Only a courageous woman can fry a bunch of plantain without tasting any. Albert Einstein (1872)

Anyone who reads this without laughing, that person is looking for a job. Lord Lugard(1914)
