    I have no idea what jollof rice is but I want it now.

    That looks like something I’d enjoy putting in my mouth parts.

    Looks delicious but I’m laughing at “small salad” being a couple shreds of lettuce thrown in.

    Jollof is a precursor to the Southern (read Gullah) dish of red rice. Red Rice as we know it in the South is descended from the cultures of West Africa where the slaves were taken from and the community that remains closest to those roots is the Gullah Gee-Chee communities of the Sea Islands in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.

    Edit: For anyone more interested in this, check out this video about Gullah Gee-Chee foodways

    If I didn’t know already I’d swear this was a plate of Caribbean food (DR, PR, Jamaica, etc…). Looks delicious.

    And yes I do know that that’s not a coincidence. Its just interesting to see how similar lots of our dishes are. Like I can look at this and clearly see how heavily it influenced the dishes I grew up with and love.

    This inspired me to look up African restaurants in my area. They have this dish too! I know what my next takeout night is. Thank you for inspiring new discoveries.
