SPIN: Tried Jollof For The First Time A Few Days Ago

[Kyle Barker]

Most jollof most places are hit or miss. You unfortunately got this miss. Usually it misses more than it hits.

In the DMV my favorite spot is Roger Miller's. In a perversely comical way, everything on the menu hits but the owner misses and he forgets orders.

Every other spot I've tried in the DMV hasnt really compared but I'm open to trying.

Gonna try that spot when all this is over. Never had jollof rice. Here's their facebook:

Nigerians and Ghanaians think tomato and pepper equals Jollof Rice.

Sorry for your experience

Lol...whats jollof then?

 

[Peak]

2:50

I bet there is a banana in there somewhere

 

[RadaMillz]

Who cooks it best?

I've heard Senegalese, I think they invented. I've never had it though

 

[TRY GOD]

I was going to try this Ethiopian spot but rode past this Nigerian one instead. Stopped in to see what was good and ordered a jollof(id never tried it before), tripe, and plantain plate:

The tripe and the plantain were great.

The rice was literally nasty. I mean extremely unappealing. It was almost like it was cooked in tomato sauce. What in the world do you African brehs see in that flavor? And y’all love some damn jollof too smh.

I want to try the other jollof next time(whichever one that gets cooked with peas).

This whole shyt look disgusting as fukk

 

[Wildin]

Yuck that shyt in the middle look like some octapus

Octopus is fire.

Fam, Nigerian jollof looks nothing like this. If nothing else this like the jollof of someone who has never cooked it before.

I'm laughing at the brehs that have never had tripe before though. It looks a little weird but it's actually pretty good if it's prepared correctly.

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Lol! what op had is def not jollof

Nigerians and Ghanaians think tomato and pepper equals Jollof Rice.

Sorry for your experience

your either Senegalese or Liberian talking like this


All the best places to grab jollof stateside are in Houston, Atlanta, Boston, and New York

Anywhere else is a duuubbbbb

 

[im_sleep]

Ain't red rice an Americanized version of jollof?

Red rice and jambalaya

 

[blockburna420]

I can't take the texture of tripe , make me some chicken menudo.

 

[A1aaa]

I’ve had jollof rice many times and never had anything that resembles that. OP got finessed on some Naija 419 vibes...typical coli shyt. Prob served buddy some bottom of the pot leftovers they were planning on trashing anywAy

 

[Blankthawtz]

i've had a healthy fear of Tripe ever since i was a kid and my moms tried to make me eat that disgustin spiderweb lookin crap.....thanks for rehashing my fears OP.....

 

[Freedman]

Is the food we call "tripe" down here a different thing ??

 

[AJD]

Tripe taste good as fukk when seasoned. Dudes sleep
