Yes, you read that right. Some foods are best eaten indoors, away from the eyes of strangers and even close friends in public places, because they will embarrass you and throw your home training in the mud. Here are five of them: (MTN 7491 8709 1014 78395)
Shawarma
Look, we all love a good, thick, filling and steamy shawarma roll, don’t we? Well, here’s the thing about shawarmas: they’re best eaten in the comfort of your home (preferably while watching a movie), where you can stuff your mouth with its tasty goodness, stain your clothes and lick your fingers without being worried about looking silly in front of random people.
Mangoes

Good old mango is sweet and succulent, but will it embarrass you in public? The answer is yes. Have you ever seen anyone sucking and biting a mango decently? Of course, not. The alternative is to cut it into slices with a knife but eventually, you still have to suck the seed, and that’s not always a good look.

Agbalumo (African Star Apple)
Asides from the fact that you can never really tell whether an ‘agbalumo’ is going to be sweet or not, this fruit is simply not designed to be eaten in public. With its sticky insides, juices and big seeds, this is the type of fruit you eat in your house, where you’re free to eat it as you deem fit.
Ofada Rice
You can get away with eating tasty Ofada rice at an ‘owambe’ or at a restaurant but doing so in the office? You have to be prepared for snide comments, my dear. (But, who cares? 😂)
Ponmo
Have you ever attended an ‘owambe’ where they served you ponmo that was so hard to eat and you struggled and struggled with it until you eventually gave up? It’s very embarrassing. Why on earth should you be struggling with food? Abeg. If you’re going to eat this, do it at home (maybe on the floor) where you can battle with it until you win. 🤷🏾♂️ 🤷🏾♀️
Burgers

Biting into a stuffed burger and tasting all the rich condiments is a delicious experience but eating it in public is a risk. You have to eat it carefully while ensuring that the onions, bacon, lettuce and more stay in place and do not fall out. And if they fall out, you’ll end up making a mess. What a (tasty) piece of work burgers are.
Chicken Wings
If you’re going to get yourself some chicken wings, do so when you’re with friends and family or at home, where you can be yourself because chicken wings are meant to be enjoyed in full comfort- sucking out the juices and sauce, breaking the bones, tearing them apart and pretty much obliterating them— and you just can’t do that in public, can you?
Anything with Sardines

Honestly, sardines don’t have the best smell. Even when you spread it with butter on bread, the smell still makes its way through. If you’re going to eat this outside, good luck to you! 😂
