Nigeria: Hushdogs and Hushpuppies

[Daily Trust] First, some attempted definitions. A hushdog is a training collar worn on a dog's neck, which effectively controls barking using gentle vibration and high frequency sound. A hushpuppy, on the other hand, is a small, savoury, deep-fried round ball made from cornmeal-based batter, frequently served as a side dish with seafood and other deep-fried foods.
