Although I'm not really a fan of believing in the future existence of aliens. We only get to hear about them in movies, comics,articles and so on. They are just mere speculations of what can come up in the future. We are made to understand that scientist are deeply researching for extra terrestrial beins that exist on other planets. Hence, they believe that there are signs of life on other spheres of the Earth be it below or above other than earth. So far they have been no confirmed evidence of such speculations that aliens exist.
So for the purpose of this prompt, if at all aliens should invade the Earth especially my country which is Nigeri, I would use the dish which has become traditional to Nigerians,which has several varieties called RICE to entice them and enchant them into surrendering and not harming my people. Thus, I intend to use the spellbinding dish of JOLLOF RICE , A special Nigerian made dish which captivates and enchants with its unique flavors, presentation, or a combination of both. If this dish is prepared in the special way possible ,with all the ingredients used in their appropraiate proportions,trust me even aliens would not resist the aroma, the taste, the flavor, and all that comes with the dish.
Why jollof rice? I choose jollof rice because it is a widely accepted and delicious dish, one that is widely loved and cherished. Rice in general is also described as a celebratory meal in Nigeria because it holds personal significance. So you can understand that when we prepare this meal for hostile people, it has a way of softening their hearts and winning their souls. So jollof rice a popular west African dish is very suitable for this occasion. This dish is made with various ingredients such as tomatoes bell pepper, Scotch pepper, spices like Maggi, onions, ginger,garlic, salt. We can also use proteins like fried chicken fish Turkey cow meat beef and so on. Also there is the addition of vegetables like carrot, pea and so many more.
In view of all this, when all the ingredients are properly cooked and the jollof rice is finally made the reddish color it gives is so attractive coupled with the vegetables and ingredients added to. This is irresistible to anyone especially the aroma. Thus, I believe this would be a captivating meal that would change the heart of the aliens from being hostile to accommodating and gentle to the people of my country in Nigeria.
