Questions for my fellow west africans?
Why yall think our cooking techniques And palettes seem to be stuck in mid 20th century?
The reason i struggle w putting our food up there
Like there are some dishes that are undeniably top tier like a good smoky jollof or spicy suya or a buttery
meat pie but the rest of our s*** is slightly above avg if were being honestAnd also there is the question of just how every new continent culture that started off cooking with our food has surpassed us
Like brazilian, puerto rican, jamaican, soul food or just afro american /Caribbean/ afro latin food in general
Like these mf took our whole flow of beans with rice and plantain that the slaves brought and ran w that s***
Ive never once seen a nigerian household marinate some chicken with lime mixture or experiment with some alternate forms to cook beans
We need to catch up and show these latinos/caribbean where they got their sauce from cus rn theyre beating our ass

Now i think about maybe not fully fair comparison cus the africans that came to the new world w their food were living in multi ethnic places, so they had the benefit of taking the best from indigenous and european food practices
While west africa food culture wise is relatively homogeneous

You are welcomeI will never understand why Koreans are obsessed with their food
First off it’s all too sweet
Second of all it’s all weird af
I mean I enjoy it and they have good dishes and KBBQ can be pretty good but it is probably the worst of all the oriental cuisines
I personally met more koreans that like other ethnic foods more.
Just an anecdote, but I have never come across korean food as too sweet.
