Comparing Jollof Rice across three restaurants — an honest verdict

I ate Jollof Rice at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of dried fish varied significantly — only one got it right. The smoky and warming profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely.

fufu and soup eating requires communal sharing and is eaten with the hands. The best version came from a family Sunday fufu meal, which felt authentic. sobolo sorrel drink was offered at all three but only one knew how to serve it properly. The gap between mediocre and excellent Jollof Rice is larger than you'd think.
