Each country including Ghana and Nigeria thinks her Jollof rice bests the others. Many of us are aware of this War and will have loved to taste each country's Jollof and cast a vote. However, an opportunity is here. As a tourist and in my years of traveling, I've come to understand that there is always one thing the diverse people from the universe want and this time, Jollof rice is the thing. Who doesn't want a good meal? For every good meal all over the world, there is a source, for every good Jollof Rice in the world, there is Africa where Jollof reigns and the rest of the world where Jollof is needed. So many people crave the renowned Jollof Rice, the majority has been unable to have a taste or prepare the majestic one-pot meal or prepare one close to perfection. Now is the time to do away with your worries and be glad because I and my diligent African associate have taken the time to get all this together and for every one of you, and everyone will get it right and sweet. If you have been looking for how to prepare Jollof, if you have been craving Jollof, if you have been wondering what Jollof Rice is and what it tastes like if you need proper lessons and skills to resume your Jollof wonder pot if you are looking for an amazing meal for a friend, a relative or a loved one, if you would love to try out new meals, then look no more because you'll find everything here. The Benefits of this book in worth can't be rivaled. But it's also worthy to understand that everyone who will possess this book will have unlimited access to more than 30 different Jollof Rice delicacies from different countries in Africa and a very amazing skillset limited to few people in the whole world. This is Africa in a book. A rare opportunity and one that people in Africa don't have. This book will present a chance to try, enjoy and perfect the skills of one of the most important dishes in the African continent. During my time in Africa, I learned something from a popular saying in Nigeria it reads thus," the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" and technically, it's true. For when a man eats a delicious meal, he remains happy and a happy man will do anything for the woman in his life. (This is an African secret and it works like magic). Why should you delay? No reason at all. Start your adventure today, enjoy the culture and learn a new art, be happy for yourself and treat yourself, friends and family to an amazing meal. The Glorious Nigerian Jollof Nigerian Jollof is a very rich and iconic meal to the Nigerian people. It's incredibly tasty and stands as the most incredible one-pot meal to the West Africans. It is a versatile dish with so many preparation methods attached to the Nigerian way but it is usually made from scratch using major ingredients like Rice, fresh Tomatoes, peppers, Tomato paste, curry, Onions, Salt, and other spices. Nigeria has been involved in all the Jollof war with serious claims to the Nigerian Jollof is the best in the world. In all honesty, the Nigerian Jollof is unique with a great taste that will leave your appetite unsatisfied and voracious all day long. They have succeeded in decorating Jollof rice and making it a compulsory meal at all celebrations. This is, in fact, a milestone for the Nigerian people. Nigerian Jollof is not complete without introducing the "PARTY JOLLOF" this type of Jollof stands tall in the Nigerian Jollof family and takes the lead when "delicious" is the watchword. It usually tastes the same in almost all Nigerian parties and if I didn't know better, I'll say the same hand prepares all-party Jollof but the distinction is embedded in the method of preparation and ingredients used. We'll get to see all that in this amazing book. It's a meal everyone should try out. It's always worth it. Nigeria says there's no Jollof without the Nigerian Jollof. That is up to you all to support or dismiss claim after you have a go at the Nigerian Jollof. We took out time to scout and test these methods from the different unique parts of the country. Enjoy the Nigerian Jollof(s).

  • National Dish
    National dish From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_dish A national dish is a culinary dish that is strongly associated with a particular country.[1] A dish can be considered a national dish for a variety of reasons: • It is a staple food, made from a selection of locally available foodstuffs that can be prepared in a distinctive way, such as fruits de mer, served along the west coast of France.[1] • It contains a particular 'exotic' ingredient that is produced locally, such as the South American paprika grown in the European Pyrenees.[1] • It is served as a festive culinary tradition that forms part of a cultural heritage—for example, barbecues at summer camp or fondue at dinner parties—or as part of a religious practice, such as Korban Pesach or Iftar celebrations.[1] • It has been promoted as a national dish, by the country itself, such as the promotion of fondue as a national dish of Switzerland by the Swiss Cheese Union (Schweizerische Käseunion) in the 1930s. Pilaf (O'sh), a national dish in the cuisines of Central Asia National dishes are part of a nation's identity and self-image.[2] During the age of European empire-building, nations would develop a national cuisine to distinguish themselves from their rivals.[3] According to Zilkia Janer, a lecturer on Latin American culture at Hofstra University, it is impossible to choose a single national dish, even unofficially, for countries such as Mexico, China or India because of their diverse ethnic populations and cultures.[2] The cuisine of such countries simply cannot be represented by any single national dish.

Claude Lévy‐Strauss disait de la cuisine que l’on n’en a « pas assez souvent souligné qu’ avec le langage elle constitue une forme d’activité humaine véritablement universelle. » En appliquant à l’anthropologie sociale la méthode structurale, conçue par le grand linguiste Ferdinand de Saussure, if la révolutionna, opposant dans ses analyses le cru et le cuit , le grillé (chaleur extérieure) et le bouilli (chaleur intérieure. ) Le lien était créé entre la gastronomie et les sciences humaines. Les déplacements de populations ont démontré que les habitudes alimentaires sont les plus tenaces. Ce qui explique que New York, principal point d’arrivée des immigrants aux Etats‐ Unis, a la restauration la plus cosmopolite du monde. Ce qui n’empêche pas l’art culinaire de partager, avec la musique, le privilège d’être accessible à tous, au‐delà des divergences politiques ou philosophiques, directement et sans le recours à un interprète. La mondialisation nous invite aujourd’hui à explorer le patrimoine gastronomique de l’humanité dans toute sa diversité.

  • Senegal/Gambia 09/11 – 08/12/2018
    Senegal/Gambia 09/11 – 08/12/2018 Introduction This report is based on a 1 month trip to Senegal and Gambia on which I was joined by my friend Andreas Schoch in Senegal. Sites visited were Niokolo Koba, Wassadou and Djoudj in Senegal and Tendaba Camp, Sita Joyeh, Marakissa, Tanji, Tujering and Abuko in Gambia. Climate When visiting the country the weather was generally fine, hot and sunny during the day with temperatures up to 40 degrees in northern Senegal. It only rained once for a couple of hours (in Richard Toll). In many places I found it difficult to sleep without AC or fan. Visa For German citizens it was not necessary to obtain a visa for both countries. A stay for up to 90 days was granted without visa and entering both countries was extremely easy and without any problems. But better check with the embassies in your country. How to get there We flew with Brussels Airlines from Frankfurt via Brussels to Dakar. On my way back I flew from Banjul via Dakar and Brussels to Frankfurt. Getting around After our arrival at the new Blaise Diagne Airport in Dakar we got our prebooked rental car from Eurocars, where Andreas gave it back 16 days later. We paid 800 Euro for a Peugeot 301 plus, an additional 100 for expanding the mile limit. This Peugeot was OK for the good roads along the coast, from Podor to St. Louis and for driving around Djoudj. But especially the road from Tambacounda to Kidira and then onwards to Bakel and Podor was not really suitable for such a car.
