Jollof rice, paella, Charleston red rice and Louisiana Creole rice are all related with Jollof being the first as far as I know. But the exact timing of Jollof rice’s origins are incredibly intriguing and potentially revealing.

This is no different than the tomato stew that is very common amongst west africa. Also fufu and pasta. Both can come from semolina flour.

My conjecture is that the actual descendant of both paella and jollof rice is arroz caldoso (a Cuban dish), even my nigerian flatmates back then told me that it tasted like "a weird watery jollof rice". Paella is more related to the so called "mediterranean rice", which we know it has been made all around the hellenic/roman mediterranean since at least 2000 years ago. Another beast is that both dishes may influenced each other, probably due to the commerce of tomato and red pepper/chile/paprika.
@kingmono Жыл бұрын
I agree with some of what you say, but from my understanding rice was introduced to the meditteranean by the moors, although African variety of rice grain predates this. The Asian version is most popular in Africa and Europe now, but that is due to moorish dissemination. I don't think the Romans were cultivating rice in the meditteranean.
Жыл бұрын
@@kingmono We have evidence that both macedonians and romans were growing rice in the eastern half of the mediterranean, mainly in Syria and Egypt (which were already growing it themselves before the macedonian and roman conquests). In the western half we know it was consumed, but we don't have evidence of its cultivation until late roman to early medieval ages. What it was introduced by the moors in Iberia and Sicily was the waterworks and the technical knowledge needed to grow it beyond some river deltas.

The history of many of these dishes, had me in question, having travelled overseas between turkey and Greece and other countries Prime example being the argument over BAKLAVA . WHO STARTED IT AND WHERE DID IT COME. Especially since sugar was not refined back then, what did they use in place of sugar was it date sugar was it palm sugar was it coconut sugar? Was it honey? Was it agave?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 So now that you bringing foods from all of the whereabouts of the great mother Africa now is the time now is the time,.
