She reminds me of an Aunty or Grandma in Pakistan Making Biryani or Pulao. But Damn that Jollof was takes even more preparation than Sindhi Biryani. The effort and amount of ingredients required for that was something spectacular. As someone who eats Pakistani, Persian, Yemeni/Arabi rice regularly, that is one hell of a dish right there. I am very impressed. This kind of cuisine for me blows all this high class French Italian and European ‘Michelin star’ type of food out the water. Gimme rice and meat/fish cooked in tomatoes and real spices any day. I want to try a jollof like this, I’ve had it before one time but it was nowhere near the complexity of this Senegalese one

You know I escorted a friend to Harlem to get her hair done by the “west African hair braiders “. This was in 1998 and the salon was packed. I braid hair too so I was watching how they put huge braids in the middle of peoples heads and pretty ones towards the front 😁…any way some of them were eating with their hands out of a huge lunch box full of fishy smelling rice. I’m from zambia and I’d never seen rice eaten by hand or rice with so much stuff in it . My Freind was black American and couldn’t understand that i was culturally different from the Senegalese. She kept asking me what are they saying… your African … I’m like they are from another country in another part of Africa, I ain’t got a clue what they’re saying 😃. It just wasn’t making sense to her . So I’m not even listening to them I’m watching this lady scoff down this fishy rice with all sorts of stuff in it AND Iim telling the lady braiding my Friends hair that the box she made at the back of my Freinds head is way too big and can fit 4-6 braids . It makes them ask me where I’m from. I told them and they were like yeah ok she’s an African who does her own braids so we better just do it the way we supposed too 😇busted 😁. That was my first and last time being around Senegalese ( or west Africans as we called them) hair braiders and the rice. Now I live in london and these Nigerians swear they’re the best 🤦🏽‍♀️! I’ve never seen a Senegalese person or a restaurant … I’ll have to google it but I can’t take all that chilli ! And rather than call them west Africans I now distinguish them by their nationality 👍🏾 exposure is so important. My husband and I said we’d try the recipe but with less chilli and less of the fishy aroma , we’ll use some beef stock 👍🏾.

Any African who sees this Jollof rice cooking process will concede that this Jollof is next level. The effort put into this is unmatched. As a Nigerian, I have to admit, we ain't got nothing on them.

The Undefeated, Undisputed king of Jollof and his name is Thieboudiene. It's always a good day when my mother make one. Thanks for showing and educating the world about this culinary wonder!

Mark you can't even imagine the importance of this specific video. It's profoundly symbolic. As a world traveler myself, I was surprised to hear people from other West African citizens claiming the origination of Jolof rice. After UNESCO recognizing it as Senegalese cuisine, you went to the sources of the food itself. Wonderful!! This food is associated to the legendary name of Penda Mbaye, a lady who supposedly was the first to cook Thieboudiene. Yes , there is a full history behind each food. I used to challenge my African friends by asking them to locate Jolof on the map before claiming whatsoever, just to kid them :) As a Senegalese, happy to know that our food has become widely spread and thanks to you Mark for your immense effort. Jerejef!!
