      He’s a chef who makes different jollof types based on country on tiktok. It’s an unfair competition really. His own jollof is inspired by different African flavors.

    This was a good video; everyone was very respectful. As a Nigerian I think the reason the Senegalese and Siera Leonian Jollof did poorly is because we Nigerians want our food and especially jollof to hit hard when it comes to flavor, we love big bold flavors, so the more reserved style of Senegalese and Sierra Leonian jollof are fundamentally incompatible with our palates assuming that the Sierra Leonian and Senegalese women made jollof that was representative of the jollof of those countries. respect to everyone who participated though.

      As a Sierra Leonean, your point is actually pretty accurate. Nigerian jollof has that really strong smoke flavour to it and it can even be seen as the main part of the dish. Whereas I feel in a lot of Sierra Leonean cuisine our food focuses on plasas/stew and rice. Overall all tho all taste nice just diff pallets

    It was recently that I discovered that what my grandmother used to make and call red rice (she was from the US south) is actually a version of jollof. It must be a west African dish that made it (at least a version of it) to the US south during slavery. I was watching a YT video of someone making jollof and was like wait a minute that’s ‘red rice’ lol.
