Wherever Nigerians live abroad - they need their traditional, home-cooked food... but where can you buy all those special, fresh ingredients like Ugu and Stock Fish?

BattaBox has found one place in Peckham, in London that brings in fresh Nigerian food every Thursday - and where the customers hustle all day to buy everything fresh! The supermarket is Stella's African Groceries & Vegetables shop.

"When people come, I want them to feel at home," says Stella. "I play music with the language they understand, we speak pidgin English - all as long as we feel as brothers and sisters."

And Nigerians can get all Nigerian food for their soups, pounded yam, bitter leaf and hot peppers, Gari, chin chin, Snails and even Alomo bitters and Palm wine.

"It's really hard to get proper, fresh Nigerian Food in London," says one lady. "I've been coming here as long as I can remember."

"I buy my fresh ugu, fresh vegetable, fresh fish and egusi," says one guy. "I dey cook for myself!"

All the Nigerian food is imported straight from Nigeria but there are challenges, such as packaging, import bans in London on some food stuffs, and also Nigerian ports. But Nigerians in London are desperate to find fresh produce and Stella's often sells out in the first few days:

"A lot of us have decided to settle down in London but we need our Nigerian food - the one we were brought up with," says Stella. "We still eat English food but we also want to feel at home."
