My note

Party jollof is cooked in a pot too large for my kitchen, over enough heat to leave a smoky layer at the bottom. That part disappears first because everybody knows it tastes best.

The plate needs fried plantain and something browned at the side. I can judge a party by the first forkful, which is reason enough to keep one in the museum.
