11. Nigeria
Nigerian breakfast can be summed up with one cute word, fufu. Nigerians eat all types of fufu for their morning meal. Nni oka serves a lot of people, but you can portion it for just enough for your breakfast. You need cornmeal (not corn starch) and cassava flour (not starch). Use 4 cups cassava for every 1 cup corn. Mix well. Put 1 1/2 cups of water into a pot. Boil. Reduce it and add in the mixture stirring constantly. Mix until there are no lumps. This is a quick meal to make. Add a few drops of water. Cover and steam on low. Mix again and serve.

13. Namibia
Namibia is a very diverse country. It has thirteen official languages and what you eat depends on where you live. There seems to be no distinct food for breakfast, but sometimes we’re just not in the mood for American breakfast food at breakfast. In fact, looking at Namibian cuisine it really cannot be replicated. Their beef and mutton are so fresh the only equivalent would be if you hunted and cooked the meat all in thirty minutes. You could make porridge with maize, but it’s still not the same. Some foods you just have to travel to.
