Primajoy is about pleasure and happiness from excellence. Primajoy is an enterprise by the husband and wife team of Alex and Joyce.

African and West African food, like many cuisines, is known for being spicy and aromatic. Jollof rice is perhaps the most famous West African dish, and often served with some type of meat like chicken, turkey, beef, or fish.

West African food isn’t as well-known globally as other cuisines but thanks to the diaspora, that may be changing.

Egusi soup - Egusi refers to the protein-rich seeds of plants like squash, melon, and gourd that when dried and ground become a staple ingredient in many West African foods. Egusi soup is a one-pot meal typically made with ground egusi, palm oil, onions, hot peppers, locust beans (iru), African crayfish, stockfish, some type of meat, fish, and leafy vegetables.

Pepper soup is one of the most popular types of soup in West Africa. It’s a spicy and watery soup made with peppers and an assortment of meat like goat, chicken, oxtail, or fish. Pepper soup made with chicken is said to have medicinal qualities.

Ogbono soup is a type of Nigerian stew made with different types of vegetables, meat, and fish cooked in a broth thickened with ground dry ogbono seeds (wild mango seeds). Ogbono refers to a species of African tree that bears edible mango-like fruit. They’re especially prized for their fat- and protein-rich seeds that are often ground and used as a thickening or flavoring agent in soups.

Primajoy is next Tesco petrol station, opposite the Rising Sun pub.
