Street Food in Senegal!! 🇸🇳 ULTIMATE SENEGALESE FOOD TOUR in Dakar | West African Food! · Mark Wiens
Mark Wiens was deeply impressed by the vibrant flavors of Senegalese cuisine, particularly the nuttiness of the palm oil in the Sakasaka. He was especially moved by the heat and fragrance of the local Guana chilies, which he claimed are some of the greatest on Earth. The highlight of his trip was the communal lunch experience at the Kermel Market, where he sampled iconic dishes like Thieboudienne.
