"The Jollof Rice War"

The Jollof Rice debate has been a long and fierce one. Jollof Rice is the most popular African dish amongst Africans, especially West Africans.

While people from Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone would spend the entire day arguing that Jollof Rice originated from their respective countries, Gambians and Senegalese would be standing some few feet away dying with laughter.

Jollof as we all know comes from the Wolof people of Senegal and The Gambia. I have been lucky to try Jollof Rice from Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra  Leone, and I would say the Sierra Leonean Jollof one the tastiest.

Below is a Jollof Rice debate video I pulled off youtube.com:
