Gambia and Bissau are the same

[@mussusamati4204]

Yes, we have very similar foods to people from Gambia! Love it

[@solbutton1611]

Domada is a straight-up classic when it comes to Gambian dishes. I’m glad you’re enjoying your time in The Gambia. I’m American, but my family originated from Gambia, and your videos are making me wanna go back there and live there. Keep up with the great vids, and take care of yourself

[@michaelcarson7941]

💯💯💯💯💯 I have never had any African dishes. I've heard much about jollof rice. I'm open to try any love your sense of humor😊. If you say it so good I believe you. Stay safe you and your family.

[@justicejay3529]

Jollof Rice Originated from JOLLOF i.e SENEGAMBIA. It's Original Name is BENACHINE/CHEB

[@frankiefone6259]

VIMTO is English very popular but deffo taste better in The Gambia 🇬🇲

[@shameelahlingard7559]

🇯🇲 Sorrel yes its definitely the drink we add ginger to it That's so cool that they have it there in the Gambia and it's nice to know that they call it by a different name thank you for that I really like watching your videos

[@adavis2170]

Ooooooooo.....I'm a vegetarian and I'm ready to EAT!! Come on February!

[@DJChirpzTV]

vimto is one of west africans favorite drinks. it's sooooo good. I love the one in the red can

[@halimakaira3871]

It's the way she says akara for meeee🥰

[@idawilliams7212]

I called Afra , street meat because it was always purchased outside of the home (while in Gambia )because we would get it late nights while we were out!! Loved waiting for it to be cooked while socializing with friends🥰

[@NIMAL-J]

That is the best part waiting in line talking to friends making jokes 🇬🇲

[@briansmith7418]

And the food looks good can I have some please Ricky 😋

[@rickidenise]

[@ibrahimebah3568]

[@pamomohforna9925]

You making me hungry. I can see you are enjoying Gambian food. Gambia loves you Nikka.

[@cyelgreen4655]

Lol. It looks like you're salivating while describing these dishes. Now I think I need to try everything . 😋

[@laurensollison]

Can you do a vid of you going to your favorite Gambian restaurants and bakeries? For us who are planning to travel there.

[@oh.kaylahh]

I feel like African and Caribbean cultures have such interest vegan and vegetarian options that should be considered. My dad grew up on lots of veggies and fruit based foods that were very hearty and can have meat or not. Those bean nuggets sound amazingggg

[@oumlowe8885]

We same ppl boo

[@baggiskitchen]

Girl you are making me hungry and wanna go back to Gambia 🇬🇲 this minute just to go get the real Kaba that’s one of the most should I call it food or snack well whatever kaba and toll are of the snacks that I miss so much in the Gambia 🇬🇲 I can’t wait to go back well I think this is a switch you went to Africa when you were 15 years old and I came to America 🇺🇸 10 days before I turned 15 years old 🥰🥰🥰🥰by the way am new here I just subscribed to your channel 🥰🥰❤❤❤❤

[@fortheloveofbaking9002]

I was waiting for you to mention ebbeh, I was like please tell me someone put her on ! ebbeh is like one of my all time fav gambian foods , and your so right that when you first look at it you would be put off and think its nasty ( as many of the soupy saucy dishes over there do) but once you try it its life changing!

[@liyah4504]

When I visited Ghana 🇬🇭 my favorites were waakye, yam/rice with stew, and peanut butter soup w omo tuo(rice balls) wonder if it tastes similar to the domoda

[@klaw1425]

God bless you abundantly and ghana loves you more ❤

[@wakandababe8645]

Oh how I miss waakye... Yes peanut butter soup is the same as domoda. But Gambia and Senegalese domoda, the sauce is made thicker than the other African countries

[@khadijah3737]

My favorite food in Ghana was tuo zaafi and banku

[@naijanaija3686]

We also call it Akara in Nigeria

[@modoulaminblackman9785]

You just named all my favorite food except missing one out which is call MBAHAL is almost like dirty rice made of grind peanuts and smoked fish, ask about it if u not familiar

[@bloodmasta1]

all of those things are amazing! except Vimto is made in the uk and you can buy it all over Europe too haha guess you just cant get it in America then haha :) i could live off domoda and tapalapa for the rest of my life hahaha

[@ndeybusso]

They have vimto in America

[@uzyozyoybe1840]

Hahah tapalapa

[@adamajarju4428]

The same here Ricki Vimto is my fave drink

[@bintajalloh562]

My favorite african dish has to be domoda, thiou, yassa, benechin, akara and drinks, wonjo, vimto and kabba

[@idawilliams7212]

YESSSSSSSS YOU KNOW !,😋☺️

[@moefaal4684]

I want to go visit my family again. Coz you got my mouth watering by talking about all these goods . Haven’t had them in a long time . Love your Chanel

[@babzylove401]

Ebbeh and kaba are my all time favs 😍

[@liyah4504]

[@HealingNomad]

Now I’m just hungry 😭 miss these foods sm

[@archbishopcorrinesheemaame2574]

All great foods....Thanks for sharing this video with us

[@natwise6524]

Akara is a snack that is originally from Nigeria but that has migrated to a number of West African countries as well as Brazil and the Caribbean. It is a traditional snack from Nigeria that is also popular in Ghana, Togo, Benin, Mali, Cameroon, Senegal and The Gambia. It is actually a fried bean cake or fritter that is a common breakfast staple or fast food. Normally eaten as breakfast with *Akamu* (Igbo)/Ogi (yoruba) which is like *custard* made from grounded maize/corn or millet.

[@alexisp.1189]

This is the video I was looking in your channel. Thank you Ricki!!

[@Lifewith_charlotte_]

In South Africa we eat puff puff with Chicken feet soup 👌🏾👌🏾. Or Atchaar ( Mango pickle) or Bologna. Etc. If you visit South Africa ask someone to take you to the townships so you can have that. Trust me you won’t regret.

[@africaine4889]

Chicken feet. Mmmm

[@leeayi243]

@@africaine4889 when they are broke in Africa, rich customers have chicken legs chopped off at markets, so they ask the butcher to keep the legs for them,lol. So some are used to preparing stew with it. So if u see a Nigerian eating it you know they are from humble beginnings. It could also be just a choice in other African countries.

[@africaine4889]

@@leeayi243 I love me some chicken feet. Am African.

[@klaw1425]

I love sa

[@NaMi-ob7qp]

@@leeayi243 Why do you talk rubbish on social media,? Yes we are humble in Nigeria but where do you see chicken feet eaten? What part of Nigeria are you from? Chicken feet is a delicacy

[@fortheloveofbaking9002]

i love how you went in when you talked about kabba , tbh i think kabba is likwe one of my top three fav fruits ever , its just so bomb. The way you said "its just so good yall " had me dead loool like your voice said it all . this video is really making me miss gambia, getting kabba in the US costs an arm and a leg

[@Pinkaphrodite123]

Love this!!! We made puff puff it’s so good, they’re like homemade donut holes yummmm

[@NubianThreads]

Thank you! I’m saving this video for my trip there next month 😋

[@toniagonzalez2187]

I’ll be there next week! Im so excited to try these dishes!

[@barrymony4031]

All my favourite mostly akara mayonnaise and bread tea in the morning 😍😍😍😍

[@afrogambiangirl524]

Great list. Love Kabba. Check out Kabba Girl. She sells kabba all year long because it is preserved. You can get it out of season and it is still good. Ebbeh is Gambian seafood gumbo. A drink you should try in addition to Hibiscus, Baobab juice and Kabba juice is Dittah (the green one). And the yellow cocktail is like Vimto but different flavor. So good.

[@gabrielleburnett2465]

Love the video❤️i miss chicken yass and domoda

[@WonderWoman-so4mk]

So similar to other popular, delicious West African meals. And Art Cathy had us thinking they only have Benechin lol

[@francinejackson-rhodes2659]

I appreciate you letting me know those dishes I am coming to Gambia in July to meet my online boyfriend. I will try these .😋yummy

[@wakandababe8645]

In addition to the drinks and foods you've mentioned I also like fruit cocktail, Fanta grapes... They are the only drinks I buy when I am in Gambia. I also miss coos pancake cherry with milk/sowe😥

[@elMaxx5]

OMG. i need to find a Gambian restaurant in Memphis now!

Benachin for the win (with broken rice) 🤤

[@infamousq33]

Hi Ricki! Your video was great! Foods look good and your description of flavors made my mouth water. Looks like you get more fresh ingredients daily. And yes always be careful with bread, rice and all starches right lol 😂 You are looking more beautiful and more like mom💜

Do they eat the panket with peanut butter in Gambia. That's how we eat them in Congo. With fresh made peanut butter. We also have the ginger panket that we eat with hot sauce made with ginger and different other spices in the sauce Ohhhh so good

[@gene2049]

Food looks delicious ❤

[@jenniferobakpolor3195]

Ricki Denise are you Gambian. Ricki Denise you could add puff puff with honey or with powder sugar with sardines inside the puff puff and it taste good. You have to add the honey when it's hot it taste good like that. For the powder sugar wait until the puff puff cool down to add it on.

[@universenaturegamechanger3595]

They need more vegan options we feel left out here in The Gambia😢

[@eccentricaste3232]

You should make a part two and fragment it. Make for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and fruits that aren't here in amurika.

[@gamersworld6306]

@ 09:15 that food that you called "benechin" is actually a very popular senegalese dish that is called Thièboudjem...more commonly called "Thièp"...you can make it whit fish...chicken..lamb or goat meat ..or a mix of all of it..if it s properly made ...for me...i think it s the best food in the world..
