This site is fucking amazing. It's like an automated magical realist dictionary.
However, Thieboudienne is quite real and I desire it intensely...
@zebratron2084 Perhaps don't pump your expectations too high about that. c..c
@Balinares Hun, I don't mean to be contrary, but there's a local Senegalese chef who's made his version for Michelin-starred restaurants and just opened up a pop-up here amid rave reviews...
I realize it's a pretty unassuming food in general, though. Still. The single best thing I ate in my entire time in Seattle was a side dish of "ordinary" rice and peas from a Puerto Rican restaurant... It is, in the immortal words of Eric Clapton, in the way that you use it. ;)
@zebratron2084 Unassuming is okay. c..c One of the best meals I've had here was a humble leek soup in the Aran Islands. It was just amazing.
As to thiou, I'm just going to hope you will have a better experience at your local restaurant than my memory, then. ❤️
Above-mentioned site is also having the pleasant lingering aftereffect of making me distrustful of any unfamiliar word I see that's longer than two syllables. I just got it while looking at an article about Senegalese cuisine. ^_____^
