Pairing Jollof Rice correctly — a note on Fanta orange

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Jollof Rice. I ordered it with Fanta orange and the rich and earthy from palm oil elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. ogiri fermented seeds in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Nigerian cuisine varies between the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and other ethnic culinary traditions. The a Nigerian restaurant abroad is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Jollof Rice with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
