By formally recognizing Swallow as a Main Dish, RAB acknowledges the shared food culture across African and Caribbean communities, meals centred around dough-like, starchy bases paired with rich, slow-cooked soups and sauces that define “home” for millions across the diaspora.
“Swallow isn’t just Nigerian–it’s African and Caribbean. From West to East Africa and across the Caribbean, these meals represent family, tradition, and comfort. RAB is making sure our people feel seen, served, and at home,” said Ajoge Job.
