banga rice na d height.. op do make u taste banga rice

Is Banga rice that special? It's just on the average to me though. I think why I hate it is due to the fact that I hate watery meals and the preparation of Banga rice cause the rice in itself to retain tons of the oil and water in the palm fruits.

No wonder e dey quick spoil

This is very funny

Not like it spoils faster. The problem is, the longer you keep it, the more it loses its savour. Fried rice in itself is meant to be crispy and dry, with lesser water presence. The same applies to the vegetables added. Most people tend to mess this up from the very beginning which causes the rice to start losing strength just few hours after being prepared.

Another trick is to not 'warm' it. It doesn't carry much weight as the Jollof rice. A better way of preserving it is to keep it in the refrigerator while the portion to be consumed is to be taken and 'microwaved'.

Jollof rice emanated from Senegal, if you happen to travel vast you will know what am talking about

Not true. The Jambalaya rice is what a typical Nigerian would call concoction but in a more advanced manner. It is a blend of vegetables and meats, plus shrimps mixed in rice. It is even far more expensive than the hallowed Jollof Rice and they're not all that similar. Jambalaya is not even common in Africa. If you try to compare and contrast on recipes for both, one would discover that Jambalaya is more of meats, vegetables, shrimps and what have you than rice in itself.

Is this Jambalaya rice?

Sanchez01:

Lol... I used to believe so, not until I discovered it doesn't really belong to us.

Question is, can we really be the best at something we didn't invent?

Ask the Chinese

Lol... This Christmas is off key. Shrimps are hard to come by here, even at the malls.

Nixiepie:
Tbh Nigerian jollof tastes better,any other one is counterfeit thou I'm not really a fan of jollof,



Btw op where is the origin of fried rice?

fried rice is from Singapore or China I believe. Its more like Singapore rice.
I may be wrong though.
Wolof rice from The Gambia. The first time I heard that years ago, I was in shock that our beloved national dish of Jollof rice didn't originate from us. I refused to accept it. If it's not Nigerian jollof rice, it can never be jollof rice

Scotch bonnet is a cousin to the Habanero (Rodo). The difference is that the Scotch bonnet is slightly sweeter. In terms of availability, the Habanero is much more common while the Scotch is rare.

Tatashe is called Capsicum annuum or just fruited sweet pepper.

There's nothing sweet about tatashe

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jollof_rice

Unfortunately, Maya Angelou gave Ghanaians the tenacity to square Nigerians with their jollof prowess after mentioning them in her autobiography, A Song Flung Up to Heaven

A Song Flung Up to Heaven (New York: Random House, 2002), Maya Angelou's sixth volume of autobiography, begins with the author returning home to the United States from Africa. In this excerpt, her mother shares a letter containing a recipe for Jollof Rice which the author had previously sent from Africa.

I wonder why the likes of JK Rowlings has failed to come down to Nigeria to testify and include our 'Jollofing' prowess in her autobiography

She actually wrote Harry Potter from her experiences in Edo

Tatashe is not as hot as Rodo though. I guess it explains why they call it 'sweet'

Nigeria makes the best Jollof rice...

A party without Jollof rice in Nigeria is just a meeting. . #Fact

Nigeria makes one of the best jollof rice in the world.
Not the best, you need to taste jollof rice of other countries to be able to say that.
Benching as it is called in the Gambia is their best food. and that is the only food Gambians share with ppl.
It is usually eaten as lunch and Nigerians living there nicknamed it "Salam Alekum"

You know why?
Because if you are going on the street and U see them eating lunch (jollof rice) you don't need to know anyone there before u can eat. just say salam Alekum and join them. They would gladly welcome you create a space for you in the circle and there you go..
They eat it in a very big bowl and they can be up to ten eating from the same bowl.


Benachin is a delicious meal in the Gambia.

Nigerians and Jollof Rice are

Jollof Rice is purely made and owned by Nigerians.
Hw could a Nigerian deny us our basic right
Dnt allow hostel boys hear yu talk rubbish ooo
If yu contest this people will make heaven walahi

I time of injustice against our best cultural heritage
#iStandWithJollofRice

The question you want to ask is "Who invented Eba?".

Am a Nigerian and I like Nigerian Jollof rice. I have travelled to Togo, Benin, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Senegal. Believe it or not Ghana & Senegal are the best when it comes to preparing Jollof rice.

Sanchez01:

No one actually knows the country jollof rice originates from. Do not use wikipedia as a reference, I can go on the same wikipedia you quoted and edit it to say that jollof rice originates from the Tiv tribe in Benue state, Nigeria.

However, I have tasted Gambia jollof rice, and it was awesome.

Yes na, Russians were to first to get to space, but Americans perfected space travelling by reaching the moon.

Oh no! End time heartbreak.

Except you're just reading up on or know this, quite a handful of persons have been in the know before now. Sengal and The Gambia are thought to those with the best recipes. Wikipedia is written yes, but so many articles litter the cyberspace on this.
