Pairing Suya correctly — a note on Chapman cocktail

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Suya. I ordered it with Chapman cocktail and the spicy and bold elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. uziza leaves in particular became more prominent in a good way.

suya spiced meat skewers are eaten across West Africa but claim deep Nigerian roots. The a Lagos buka local restaurant is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Suya with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
