The History Of My Food

       My favorite foods are too many, but I will go with jollof rice.The origin of Jollof Rice is traceable to the Jollof tribe in the Senegambia region of West Africa. Jollof rice is also called “Benachin” which means “one pot” in the Wolof language. The traditional ingredients are rice, fresh tomatoes, tomato paste, onion, salt, and chili pepper. Other ingredients such as fish, vegetables, meats, ginger and other spices can be added to enhance the taste. Today Jollof rice can be prepared in different ways by the various peoples that savor it but the basic ingredients remain the same. Jollof rice is eaten in Nigerians, U.S and many other countries. And it’s found in New York City, there’s a lot of Ghanaian restaurant’s in the NYC.
