Jollof-Pounded yam, anyone

I belief Wikipedia is terribly wrong on this one. How can Jollof Rice originate from Ghana – of all places.

With jollof rice as the most popular, I ate jollof beans in a friends house about two weeks ago, then I tried preparing jollof spaghetti over the weekend, hmm, but I was thinking if this is possible: jollof pounded yam?

anyone with ideas, please share.

 

While you ponder on the above, please Lord, give me a sign:

    I do not agree with Wiki too. I am sure the person that wrote that article originates from Ghana hence claiming ownership of the dish.

    Maybe more Nigerian culinary experts should write articles about our dishes before we read that pounded yam originates from Madagascar!

    Just a lil history lesson, jollof rice originates from the senegambia (Senegal & Gambia) region that was of the Jollof kingdom back in the day, the people from the Jollof Kingdom were wollofs…..and jollof rice is known as benachin or cheb bu jinn, hope this helps, sorry Ghana and Nigeria for false claims of ownership lol
